Design Director

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities (maybe "What you will be doing"), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (the "What you need to be great in this role"), Benefits? Not present. Pay: Salary Range present. Schedule? Not present. So include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (or Requirements), Pay. Possibly also Skills? The "What you need to be great in this role" includes many bullet points; we can treat as Requirements or Qualifications. Use

for each heading. Use

• for lists. Use

  for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: values, recruitment process, EEO, sustainability, etc. Also remove "Our values shape everything we do:" etc. Also remove "At the time of this posting, the base salary for this position may range according to what's stated below." but we keep salary range. Also remove "Our recruitment process does not employ artificial intelligence." etc. Also remove "OLIVER, a part of the Brandtech Group, is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "Our values shape everything we do:" list. Also remove "At the time of this posting..." etc. We need to preserve all substantive information: About the role paragraph, What you will be doing bullet points, What you need to be great in this role bullet points, Salary Range. We need to format sections. Let's extract About the role paragraph: "We're pairing craft with AI velocity—and we need a Design Director to lead it.We’ve launched an embedded, AI-native creative studio for one of the world's most influential B2B tech brands—a global platform company serving 85% of the Fortune 500. This isn't a traditional agency setup. You'll be leading an established, high-output creative studio that operates as a seamless extension of the client's internal global brand team. Your mission: to scale their vision with relentless craft and speed. That means taking hero campaigns, brand systems, and creative playbooks—and turning them into flawless assets across regions, channels, and formats. You'll direct a multi-disciplinary team, set the bar for quality, and ensure that every piece of work—whether it's a flagship moment or a localized event—feels unmistakably on-brand. If you're energized by the idea of combining creative excellence with operational rigor, and you thrive when empowering teams to do their best work at scale, we'd love to talk." We can keep as paragraph. Responsibilities: "What you will be doing:" then bullet points under subheadings: Creative Direction and Quality, Team Leadership and Capability Building, Client Partnership and Studio Operations, AI Integration and Innovation. We can combine into a single list? The instruction: Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can create a list of duties, maybe each bullet as a duty. Could also keep subheadings inside list? Probably better to keep as list items, each bullet as a duty. Could also keep subheadings as inside
  • . But we must not invent headings. We'll just list each bullet as
  • . We'll preserve the content. Let's extract bullet points: Creative Direction and Quality: - Direct and develop a multi-level creative team — running internal critiques, sharpening executions, and building a culture where high standards are the shared expectation - Contribute directly to concepting and design, bringing hands-on skill to the team's output and elevating work at every stage of production - Act as the studio's final quality check, reviewing and auditing all creative work before it reaches the client - Ensure every asset the studio produces is faithful to the client's brand guidelines, voice, and creative vision — from flagship campaign heroes to localised regional content Team Leadership and Capability Building: - Develop team members' skills and creative output through regular coaching, feedback, and structured knowledge-sharing - Identify opportunities to improve creative processes and introduce smarter ways of working - Build an inclusive, collaborative team culture where diverse perspectives strengthen both creative output and working relationships Client Partnership and Studio Operations: - Partner with the OLIVER Business Director to manage studio operations, timelines, and the overall client experience - Maintain strong working relationships with client creative directors, account leads, producers, and project managers - Manage and prioritise team workloads across high-volume delivery cycles, adapting quickly when priorities or timelines shift AI Integration and Innovation: - Lead the integration of generative AI tools into creative workflows, setting quality standards and governance for AI-assisted output at studio level - Drive AI adoption and share best practice across the team and the wider OLIVER network - Apply an agentic approach to complex creative and operational challenges — breaking problems down systematically and identifying efficient, high-quality paths forward Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: "What you need to be great in this role:" bullet list: - A strong portfolio demonstrating brand system expertise, campaign craft, and multi-format creative execution at scale - Proven experience leading and developing multi-disciplinary creative teams in high-volume, fast-paced environments — agency, in-house, or embedded studio backgrounds all welcome - Deep expertise in brand identity and creative systems, with a track record of maintaining quality and consistency across diverse markets, channels, and formats - Experience leading creative quality processes — running critiques, setting standards, and developing team members' output - A collaborative, stakeholder-savvy approach, with the ability to build strong working relationships with senior clients, account teams, and cross-functional partners - Strategic awareness of how generative AI can enhance creative quality and delivery efficiency, combined with the judgment to evaluate outputs critically and maintain creative standards - Advanced proficiency with generative AI tools — including Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, or equivalent — and experience building AI-assisted workflows within a creative team - Expert proficiency with the Adobe Creative Suite and Figma - Strategic integration of generative AI across studio projects and operations - Experience setting AI quality standards and governance at studio or team level - Agentic leadership: a systematic, goal-oriented approach to complex creative and operational challenges - Drives AI adoption and shares best practice across teams and into client partnerships - Strong understanding of AI capabilities and limitations, with rigorous human oversight and critical evaluation of outputs We can group as a single list under a heading like "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Choose "Qualifications". Use

    Qualifications

    then
    . Pay: Salary Range: $185,250 USD - $213,750 USD. We'll put under

    Pay

    Salary Range: $185,250 USD - $213,750 USD

    . Location? Not required as heading; we could include location in About the role? It's given earlier: "Location: San Francisco Bay Area or Remote (PST)". Could embed in About the role paragraph? Probably we should keep it as a short paragraph maybe under About the role? The instruction: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we could include a short

    after About the role? But we already have About the role heading; we could add a

    location after the About the role paragraph? However the About the role section currently is a paragraph; we could add location as a separate

    within same section? The instruction: Use

    for section headings,

    for prose. So we can have About the role heading, then a paragraph with the description, then maybe another paragraph for location? But location is not part of "About the role" description; it's separate metadata. Could create a separate section like "Location" but that would be a heading; but we are told to prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones, and only include a section when posting has real, specific content for it. Location is specific content; we could include a Location section. However the instruction says: Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Location is not in the examples but could be considered a section heading? The examples list didn't include Location, but they said "e.g." meaning examples, not exhaustive. However they also said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Adding a Location section would be thin (just one line). Might be better to fold location into About the role paragraph as a short sentence. That seems acceptable: fold minor metadata into a short

    . So we can add location sentence to About the role paragraph. Thus About the role paragraph will include location: "Location: San Francisco Bay Area or Remote (PST)." We'll incorporate. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate: values, EEO, sustainability, recruitment process, etc. Now produce HTML:
