- Choreograph photo shoots in Milwaukee from shot list to retouched selects
- Own the full creative process from initial brief to final handoff
What You'll Bring

- The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
- Familiarity with the rhythms of an empathy-led hybrid team
- The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
- 11+ years owning outcomes, not just completing tasks
- Director mastery of Style Guides, validated by people who'd hire you again
- At least 11 years building expertise within the creative space
