Associate Creative Director, Brand
About The Position
Ethos is a leading life insurance technology company on a mission to protect families by democratizing access to life insurance and empowering agents at scale. With its robust three-sided technology platform, Ethos is transforming the life insurance experience for consumers, agents, and carriers alike. Ethos offers instant, accessible products and a seamless online process that requires no medical exams and just a few health questions; it eliminates traditional barriers, making it easier than ever for everyone to protect their families. Ethos is redefining how life insurance is bought, sold, and underwritten. There's a category that's been doing things the same way for over a hundred years. We're here to change that. Most ACD’s don't dream about performance marketing. We're looking for the one who does. The one who gets genuinely excited by the question: why did that ad work? This isn't a role for someone who wants to ship beautiful work and move on. It's for the rare AD who has a strong aesthetic point of view, cares deeply about craft, and loves seeing their work tied directly to real results. This role has one core mandate: raise the visual bar across everything we make. You'll have significant ownership over the look and feel of Ethos across paid social, video, and all marketing touchpoints, and will play a key role in shaping how this brand shows up visually.
