- You'd be owning and executing your own projects from concept to launch, and working closely with cross-functional leads from product marketing, brand marketing, paid and social media, content and product design.
- Foster storytelling and creative thinking within the team.
- Evolve and cultivate a unique, authentic and ownable voice for the Faire brand.

- **Excellent presentation and communication skills.** Ability to convey creative decisions and executions in a way that inspires stakeholders and audiences.
- **Experience with writing scripts **and ideating for films and social content.
