Creative Director
About the role
We are building an in-house creative studio producing campaign work, bespoke content, product education, events, and proper advertising, all under one roof. We're looking for a Creative Leader to oversee all output from concept through execution, reporting directly to the CCO and acting as day-to-day creative leader of the department.
Responsibilities
- 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, brand designers, and video producers
- 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
Requirements
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
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
Proven 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
Experience directing video and motion work, not just static and copy
Understanding that great advertising and great content aren't separate disciplines
Proactive creation of opportunities in their career
