Creative Lead, Digital & Multimedia
Chicago, IL, US, 60631
ABOUT THE ROLE
Are you a dynamic and innovative creative pro with a passion for expressing ideas visually across channels and formats? Do you think like a creative director, craft like a designer, and produce like a filmmaker? Does a fast-paced environment with lots of room for innovation sound enticing? Amrize is looking for a Creative Lead to join our Digital Communications team and head up our visual storytelling efforts.
In this role, you’ll be instrumental in shaping our visual communications approach and inspiring how we connect with audiences inside and outside the company.

As a skilled project manager, your work will range from bringing briefs to life with bold, original concepts to managing multiple creative projects from conception to delivery. Got a pioneering spirit? Please bring it!
