Creative Director, Block

Block•New York, NY

3d•$251,600 - $377,400•Remote

About The Position

Block's in-house creative team builds the brand platforms and campaigns behind Cash App, Square, and Afterpay. We're hiring a creative director who originates the big idea (brand platforms, repositionings, campaign concepts) and stays with it until it's in market. Strategy sits inside creative, so you shape the brief rather than answer it, then carry the idea across every medium it lives in: film, social, experiential, copy, and online and offline activations. This is an individual contributor role. You'll lead project teams and set the creative standard.

Requirements

A portfolio of work you led as a creative director: brand platforms, repositionings, campaigns, activations
An art direction background and the visual judgment to lead the idea in any medium
A track record setting creative vision and quality standards for a brand, while staying hands-on with the work
Credibility with cross-functional leadership as a peer
A history of catching cultural shifts early and putting them in the work
Experience carrying brand thinking across multiple products or business lines
Experience working in agencies, in-house, or both

Responsibilities

Originate brand platforms and campaign-level ideas, and own them from concept through activation
Reposition brands, and keep the platform coherent across brand and product surfaces
Hold the idea intact from first cut to final placement
Shape the brief alongside an embedded creative-strategy team
Direct designers, writers, and production partners on the work
Work with marketing, product, and partnerships leadership to get campaigns made
