Creative Director

The Neato Company•Las Vegas, NV

6d•$100,000 - $150,000•Hybrid

About The Position

We're looking for a Creative Director to lead our in-house creative team and shape the visual identity of the brands we partner with. This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit back and art direct from a distance. You'll be hands-on: building systems, running projects, presenting to clients, and pushing the team to produce work that's both beautiful and effective. You'll lead a team of 6-8 across graphic design, digital design, web, photography, and video production. About 60% of your work will be brand partner creative; 40% will be Neato's own marketing. You'll need to move fluidly between strategic client conversations and operational execution—translating brand goals into creative direction, then making sure the work gets out the door on time and on point.

Requirements

3+ years of experience as a Creative Director or equivalent leadership role
Background in design with agency experience—ideally at branding-focused or consumer-focused shops
Proven ability to lead teams across graphic design, digital design, web, photography, and commercial video production (not film—product and brand-focused content)
Strong client-facing skills: you can present work, take feedback, and translate between business objectives and creative execution
Deep Figma proficiency—not just design, but building component libraries, design systems, and leveraging Figma's newer features for scalable workflows
Experience running multiple concurrent projects across different teams
Strong creative strategy chops: you understand how brand positioning translates to visual identity and campaign execution

Nice To Haves

Experience with or genuine curiosity about AI tools for creative production—image generation, automation, workflow optimization
Familiarity with ecommerce or DTC brand creative and the pace it requires
Experience building creative operations infrastructure (not just inheriting it)
Comfort working in a growing company where you'll shape processes rather than follow them

Responsibilities

Lead and develop a creative team of 6-8 across design, web, photo, and video
Own creative strategy and execution for brand partners—from concept through delivery
Present work to clients, translate feedback, and bridge the gap between brand strategy and creative specialists
Build and refine creative operations: workflows, project management, component libraries, and design systems in Figma
Run multiple projects simultaneously across different teams without losing quality or momentum
Push the team to adopt modern tools—AI-assisted design, agentic image generation, platforms like Weavy—to increase output without increasing headcount
Collaborate with marketing leadership on Neato's brand presence across web, campaigns, and events
Set and maintain creative standards that balance premium quality with ecommerce velocity
