• Manage resources, establish budgets, and create realistic schedules that ensure projects are both impactful and achievable.
• Bring the team together to generate ideas within a space where creativity flows freely and every voice is heard.
• Shape the visual direction of campaigns, including compositions in photography/videography and layouts, so that every visual aligns with the story.
• Lead high-level creative decisions that uphold PixelEye’s standards and values and steers the company toward impactful storytelling.
• Keep projects on schedule by tracking progress and coordinating tasks to ensure every deliverable meets PixelEye’s high standards for storytelling and design.

You’re a great fit if you have:

• A bachelor’s or Masters degree in Communications, Design, Marketing, Fine Arts, or any other related field.
• At least 5+ years of experience in a creative leadership role, with a track record of delivering innovative campaigns and managing dynamic teams.
• Proficiency in creative tools and platforms, including design and video editing software (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite, Google suite) and project management tools.
• Top notch written and verbal communication skills
• Fluency in English. (French is an added advantage)

We would love to work with you if you:

• Are a natural leader who thrives in mentoring and developing creative talent.
• Have a strategic mindset and the ability to define and articulate creative vision across all touchpoints.
• Possess exceptional communication skills and can confidently present concepts and ideas to both clients and stakeholders.
• Are highly organized and skilled in project management, with the ability to balance multiple projects and set clear priorities.
• Bring expertise in visual composition, particularly in photography, design, and layouts that contribute to a compelling narrative.
• Can balance creativity with practicality, working within budgets and timelines while maintaining high creative standards.
• Are a collaborative thinker who excels in team environments and values feedback and open communication.
• Have a passion for storytelling and an eagerness to challenge norms to bring bold and innovative ideas to life.

If you’re driven by the power of storytelling, thrive in dynamic environments, and have the expertise to lead both projects and people, we’d love to hear from you.
