Summary
As Manager, Creative Services, you will lead Firework’s India-based creative team to produce next-generation, AI-powered video commerce content for our global brand and retail partners.

This is a hands-on people-leadership role. You will hire, coach, and develop a team of creative technologists and AI livestream specialists; set the standard for quality and prompt craft; and partner with clients, sales, and global creative leadership to translate brand goals into measurable commerce outcomes.
