You’ll be asked to take risks, try new things, ignore the playbook and what’s been done before to help build IP, create memorable experiences and grow and attract new audiences.
The material job duties and responsibilities of this role include those listed above as well as adhering to policies; exercising sound judgment; working effectively, safely and inclusively with others; exhibiting trustworthiness and meeting expectations; and safeguarding business operations and brand integrity.
