Creative Director

Required

• 12+ years of experience in creative roles with 3–5 years in a leadership or management position, ideally at a brand, agency, or production studio. You have a portfolio or body of work that demonstrates strong creative judgment and range.
• Proven experience managing multidisciplinary teams (designers, copywriters, editors) — not just overseeing output, but actively developing talent and elevating the quality of work across the team.
• A deep, practiced understanding of design, copywriting, and video editing. You don’t need to be an expert in all three, but you need to know what excellent looks like in each and give feedback that makes the work better.
• Experience building and scaling creative workflows and operational systems — you know how to bring structure to creative chaos without killing the energy.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills. You’re comfortable presenting creative work, advocating for your team’s recommendations, and navigating feedback with confidence and composure.
• Experience managing vendor and agency relationships, with the ability to brief, direct, and quality-check external partners to the same standard as in-house work.
• High fluency in creative tools including Figma, Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro), Google Slides, and Keynote.
• An obsession with craft: You hold yourself and your team to a high standard. You recognize that being detail-oriented is a badge of honor, and that going the extra mile to produce top-tier work even on tight timelines is non-negotiable.
• A thoughtful, resilient mindset. You understand that creative work is iterative, feedback is a gift, and the ability to operate nimbly in ambiguity is what separates good managers from great ones.
• A self-starter mentality: You’re comfortable owning your domain end-to-end, managing competing priorities, and making smart decisions without needing to be told what to do next.
