Description
Creative Production Supervisor
Lead Creativity. Inspire Innovation. Shape the Future.
Location:
Peoria, Illinois (On-site)

Do you thrive at the intersection of creative leadership, digital innovation, and hands-on design?

Illinois Mutual is searching for an experienced Creative Production Supervisor to lead a talented team of designers, web developers, videographers, and multimedia professionals while helping shape the future of our brand across every customer touchpoint.

This is not your typical creative management position. We're looking for a creative leader who is equally comfortable discussing UI/UX strategy, directing a video shoot, reviewing front-end code, mentoring designers, brainstorming marketing campaigns, improving website accessibility, or helping redefine how our brand comes to life digitally.

If you're passionate about developing people, solving creative challenges, and producing work that makes a lasting impact, we'd love to meet you.

Today, we're investing heavily in digital experiences, creative storytelling, customer engagement, and marketing innovation. This position will play a key leadership role in that transformation.

What You'll Do
