Creative Director

What you’ll do

• Develop creative concepts, campaigns, and brand platform work across all channels and formats
• Provide creative direction and oversight across the full department — your creative authority extends beyond your direct reports
• Manage and develop a growing team: writers, art directors, designers, video editors, developers and social
• Concept and create key pieces yourself when the work demands it - you are a “player / coach”
• Set art direction and copy direction for campaigns, brand, web, product, video, events, and social
• Work with product marketing to translate briefs into powerful creative ideas
• Oversee photo and video shoots alongside the Studios team and freelance production crews
• Brief and manage freelance talent and agency partners during campaign surges
• Help establish creative processes, review cadences, and quality standards as the department scales
• Present concepts and creative work to senior stakeholders with clarity and conviction

What you’ll need

• 8+ years in creative roles, with significant time at agencies or in-house teams that think like agencies
• A portfolio that shows conceptual range across both copy and art direction — big ideas that work across mediums
• Someone who is actively utilizing AI in their creative process today
• Proven ability to direct and elevate writers, art directors and designers
• Incredibly strong art direction sensibilities, deep knowledge of industry defining work and sharp instincts for language and tone
• Experience leading and mentoring creatives, not just directing work
• Comfort with ambiguity — we're building the plane while flying it, and you'll help define how this department operates. Things change often, that needs to motivate you.
• Experience directing video and motion work, not just static and copy
• You understand that great advertising and great content aren't separate disciplines
• Someone who has made their career out of making things. Proactively creating their own opportunities.
