Creative Director - Start Up
for section headings, - for lists,
for prose.
Let me outline sections:
1. About the role (or Overview) - for the initial description paragraph.
2. Responsibilities? The posting doesn't have a clear responsibilities section; it's more qualifications. But there are duties implied in the qualifications. However, the user says "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". The qualifications are a list of requirements. I could have a "Requirements" or "Qualifications" section.
The posting has "Skills & Qualifications" heading. I'll use that as a section heading.
3. Pay and Benefits - with pay range and benefits list.
4. Job Details (or Job Type & Location) - contract, location, hybrid, hours, etc.
5. Application Deadline - but the user says "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Application deadline might be minor metadata. However, it's a specific date. I could include it in a "Details" section or as a paragraph.
The user says: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So I should combine related info.
Let me think: The initial paragraph includes contract duration, hours, pay frequency, W2, interview process, startup experience, portfolio required, level. That's a mix of job details and requirements.
I'll create sections:
- Overview (or About the Role) - prose paragraph summarizing the role.
- Qualifications - list from Skills & Qualifications.
- Compensation & Benefits - pay range and benefits list.
- Job Details - contract type, location, workplace type, hours, etc.
- Application Deadline - maybe just a paragraph in Job Details.
But the user says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state pay and benefits, so include.
Schedule: "40 hours a week, paid weekly" - that's schedule info. Could be in Job Details.
Now, I need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail.
Let me extract the content:
Initial paragraph: "6 Month contract with opportunity to extend 40 hours a week, paid weekly, W2 (no 1099) 2 Step interview process We are looking for *Start up* experience Portfolio Required Would look at someone that's been SR. Designer, Art Director and looking to move up to a CD level."
Skills & Qualifications list (I'll parse each bullet):
- 8-12 years of experience, including at least 4-6 years directing a team with real direct reports. (Note: the text says "812 years" and "46 years" but likely typos for 8-12 and 4-6. I should preserve as written? The user says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." But it's clearly a typo. I think I should keep as written, but maybe it's "8-12" and "4-6". The text: "812 years of experience, including at least 46 years directing a team with real direct reports." That's likely "8-12" and "4-6". I'll keep as written to preserve, but it's ambiguous. I'll keep exactly as in the posting.)
- A track record as both a strategic creative director AND a hands-on producer, not one or the other.
- We need someone who can set direction and still personally designs across social media, web, motion, print, marketing, experiential design, events, merchandise
- A mix of client-side (in-house) team-building experience and agency-side account/vendor experience, including a track record of evaluating an existing team and making real changes when needed, not just managing around underperformance.
- Direct, hands-on experience working with a founder (not just an executive team) at an early- or growth-stage company, and genuine comfort operating in ambiguity.
- A strong personal portfolio showing hands-on design and animation work you personally created, not just directed, plus the video/motion taste to know what's fresh versus formulaic even when execution is delegated.
- Demonstrated rigor in managing a creative queue and hitting deadlines across multiple concurrent projects, plus experience managing a creative budget and negotiating with vendors.
- Experience managing an advertising or brand agency relationship on an integrated campaign, such as campaign concepts, messaging, and media/flight strategy, not just production or social vendors.
