This is a leadership role where you'll guide cross-functional teams through the strategic planning process&mdash;from initial discovery and research through campaign development and performance analysis. You'll develop positioning strategies, write creative briefs that unlock exceptional work, and present recommendations to senior executives with authority and conviction.
You'll lead strategic planning for a portfolio of key brands including Secret, Olay Body, Native, Gillette Deodorant, and Ivory&mdash;serving as the bridge between data-driven insights and culturally resonant creative work that moves both metrics and hearts.
