Connected Content Lead

360i is back in the U.S. as a market‑specific, AI‑native, social‑first growth solution built for clients who need to move at culture‑speed and translate that velocity into business outcomes. The offering is designed around Speed to Culture, Speed to Commerce, and Speed to Communities, supported by a lean leadership structure and a focused launch plan. At 360i, our Connected Content Lead (aka: Group Creative Director) is the force behind work people don’t just see – they share, save, and obsess over. This role can be located in any of our U.S. office locations, including Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, or New York. Responsibilities As the creative center of gravity for the connected content system, you will champion great ideas from spark to impact, identifying creative potential in unconventional places, nurturing it, shaping it, and ensuring it survives the journey from concept to culture. You will see potential in ideas early, whether they originate from creators, strategists, AI‑assisted exploration, social signals, or cross‑disciplinary collaborators, and amplify them into culturally resonant, brand‑elevating work. Raise the creative bar continuously, modeling the behaviors and instincts that reflect 360i’s aspiration to “scale creativity” and helping teams climb toward work that is more original, culturally attuned, and meaningful. Push beyond traditional formats and channels, encouraging experimentation, embracing nonlinear storytelling, and championing nontraditional pathways to making, from creator collaborations to AI‑driven idea exploration. Nurture diverse creative talent, creating space for emerging voices, new makers, and unconventional thinkers, cultivating an environment where creativity can come from anyone, anywhere, at any stage of the process. Protect bold ideas, guiding them through the system with the right balance of rigor, craft, and advocacy, ensuring they retain their power and clarity as they evolve through production and distribution. Model a standard of creative excellence that inspires teams, reassures clients, and strengthens 360i’s reputation as an AI‑native, culturally fluent creative leader. Standing up a modern connected content system that defines how ideas move from inputs to creation to distribution to optimization across 360i, ensuring it functions as a platform‑agnostic, modular, always‑on content engine. Instituting AI‑first practices consistent with 360i’s operating principle that AI should augment every stage of creation and iteration, and ensuring creators, influencers, AI‑generated content, and traditional production methods are equally viable inputs selected based on strategic and performance needs. Working with media, social, and activation leads to ensure ideas are designed for distribution, not merely delivered to it. Operating from an AI‑first perspective across audience building, ideation, content creation, activation, and measurement, making distribution‑informed creative decisions and looping learnings back into the system each cycle.
