About ADM: Not every career offers you the opportunity to do rewarding work that helps enrich the lives of people all around the world. At ADM, that’s kind of our thing. Whether we’re finding new opportunities for renewable products, developing the next flavor trend, or ensuring crops get to parts of the world where they’re needed, the problems we solve are making a real difference. And that’s where you come in.

About this opportunity: We’re seeking a brand strategist who’s great to work with and great at their job. You’ll be the latest addition to our Global Brand team within ADM’s Global Communications group.

You’ll also identify, evaluate and coach freelancers and agencies that augment our team for bandwidth and specific skills. And you’ll help drive continuous improvement of our acumen, our skills, our processes, our tools and, ultimately, our work.

Your role will include a fair amount of helping partners throughout our global organization understand the principles of brand management and design strategy, so you’ll want to be a patient and effective communicator. You will work on multiple projects at a time with colleagues around the globe, so organization skills and keen eye for detail are a must. And you’ll need to be a great listener and a creative problem-solver.

You’ll work out of either our Global HQ in Chicago; our North American HQ in Decatur, Illinois; or our Erlanger, Kentucky, office. We work on Creative Cloud and use Teams to connect. You will have your choice of a Windows machine or a Mac (M2 Max MBP or M2 Ultra Studio).
