Mosaic’s ACDs are our emerging leaders who can create breakthrough work at every stage of the process.
At Mosaic, we’re on a mission to create human-centric experiences that drive consumer behavior. From events and activations, to stunts and sampling, to campaigns and content, we’re all about building brand moments that matter - intersecting culture and fostering community all along the way.
To put it simply, we actualize action. And every action starts with an idea.
That is where you come in. Our next ACD. A purveyor of big, bold, breakthrough thinking. A student of humanity that seeks to know, inspire and understand. A relentless craftsperson, committed to the pursuit of beautiful work, resonate storytelling, and flawless execution.
In this role, we are seeking talent who will challenge conventional thinking, uncover unique creative solutions, and obsess about outcomes –both quality and results. From cracking the brief to polishing in production, you possess an unwavering passion for building brand moments, and come equipped with a diverse toolbox of solutions to solve marketing problems.
The Details:
Location:
Our US Creative team is primarily Chicago-based, but we encourage candidates within NYC, Dallas, Austin, Los Angeles, and Seattle markets to apply. Think you’re the right fit but reside elsewhere? Let’s talk – we will consider remote rockstars, too.
Start Date: ASAP
Travel:
Presentations, working sessions, team gatherings, and presence at on-site activations are expected, up to 10%.
Commitment:
The successful candidate will work and track 40 hrs/week. However, our dynamic creative environment is not your traditional 9-5. We regularly operate across time zones, deadlines, event and production schedules, etc., made possible thanks to the shared trust, commitment, and accountability of team members. We do require flexibility from our employees to accommodate project needs. But we’re committed to giving it in return, too, as we deeply respect the need to maintain balance, well-being, and individual and family obligations… and personal passions and pursuits, too ( interests keep us interested – and interesting, after all).
