Creative Director

Tilt Creative + Production • Richmond, VA

26d • Hybrid

About The Position

We’re looking for a Creative Director to lead the creative vision across a portfolio of high-profile accounts — someone who can inspire teams, partner with senior clients, and turn smart strategy into award-worthy work.
In this role, you’ll own creative operations for your group of accounts, guide multidisciplinary teams, and help grow client relationships through exceptional storytelling and execution. You’re as comfortable presenting to the C-suite as you are mentoring the next generation of creatives.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who’s curious, collaborative, and driven to push ideas (not just manage them).

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience leading creative campaigns for Fortune 500 or similarly scaled clients
• A deep understanding of production across broadcast, digital, social, and retail
• Strong knowledge of modern digital platforms, responsive design, and technical capabilities
• A passion for emerging tech and pushing creative boundaries
• Polished presentation skills (written, visual, and verbal)
• Strategic thinking paired with exceptional creative instincts
• A collaborative mindset and a genuine desire to teach and mentor
• Portfolio + resume
• Hybrid schedule: On-site in Richmond at least three days/week (Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday)
• Occasional travel (including international; valid passport required)

Responsibilities

• Lead the creative strategy and execution across integrated 360° campaigns (brand, retail, digital, and social)
• Partner closely with Strategy and Account teams to develop creative strategies for clients
• Present work with confidence and persuasion, both internally and externally, demonstrating a clear vision of how the work addresses the client’s challenge
• Inspire, mentor, and grow a high-performing creative team
• Ensure work meets the highest standards of craft, timeliness, and profitability
• Evaluate creative performance post-launch and apply insights to future work
• Collaborate with Project Management to shape scopes, budgets, and resourcing
• Build strong, trusted client relationships that drive long-term growth
• Perform other related duties as assigned

Benefits

• Comprehensive health coverage, including medical, dental, and vision insurance
• A genuine commitment to work–life balance
• A culture-first environment that values curiosity, collaboration, and creative courage
• Leadership that trusts you to do great work without micromanagement
• Opportunities to mentor, grow, and help shape the future of the company
• Our culture doesn’t demand late nights and weekend work, and our salaries and benefits are competitive
• We trust employees to manage their own time, encourage personal development, and give everyone generous paid time off.
