Creative Director

Overview

About the Role

We’re looking for a Creative Director who’s a visual strategist and brand expert, capable of transforming vision into impactful design. You’ll ignite the design team, architect bold visual identities, and orchestrate breakthrough campaigns that turn fragmented brand stories into compelling experiences. This role demands a leader unafraid to challenge norms and invent new approaches, believing that great design not only looks good but works hard.

• Client Partnership: Collaborate directly with clients to solve business problems through design, leading pitches and workshops to simplify complexity.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with strategists, copywriters, media, and data experts to create conceptually strong, measurable work.
• Drive Innovation: Champion emerging tools (AI design, motion/3D, real-time systems) and stay ahead of trends, while inventing new ones.
• Ensure Creative Quality: Own the visual bar for all deliverables, ensuring pixel-perfect, brand-perfect, and optimized work for the modern consumer journey.
• Mentor & Attract Talent: Cultivate growth, attract top talent, and build a culture that celebrates bold thinking.
• Manage Operations: Co-own departmental P&L, identify scalable systems, and drive profitability without sacrificing quality.
