About The Position

We're looking for a Creative Director to own the creative vision across that portfolio: someone who thinks big-picture and critically, moves fast without dropping detail, and has the instincts to know when a piece is right and when it isn't. In this role, you'll set creative direction across channels including display, social, video, audio, and DOOH, be the last set of eyes before work ships, and offer creative mentorship to a team of designers and multimedia specialists. You'll partner closely with our strategy team to turn client briefs into work that's on-strategy, on-brand, and built to perform. We're looking for a leader who knows what great work takes across the full creative craft, from concepting and pitching to copy, design, video production, and review, and who brings an open, forward-leaning attitude toward AI and how it elevates the work.

Requirements

7+ years in creative roles with proven experience directing an agency or in-house creative team across multiple clients or brands.
A portfolio demonstrating strong work in both video and graphic design, not one at the expense of the other.
Hands-on experience with AI-generated creative (image and video) applied to real advertising work.
Sharp strategic and critical thinking; able to connect creative decisions back to brand strategy and audience.
Excellent concepting, presentation, and communication skills, including presenting to clients.
Fast-paced and detail-obsessed: able to hold quality across high volume and many simultaneous projects.
Fluency across digital channels (display, paid social, video/CTV/OLV, audio, DOOH) and their best practices.
A mentorship-minded approach that elevates the creatives around them, giving ownership while protecting brand, strategy, and craft.

Nice To Haves

Experience in performance-driven or test-and-iterate creative environments.
Familiarity with the tools our team uses (Frame.io, Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and leading AI creative platforms)
Experience building or refining creative processes, review criteria, or team SOPs.

Responsibilities

Build understanding of the client, strategy, and project by studying the brand, its competitors, and its industry.
Debrief every greenlit project against its documentation to fully understand the client, the strategy, and the parameters before direction begins.
Confirm the team has every asset and input needed to make effective creative decisions, and flag gaps early with Creative Operations.
Lead concept development and creative direction across all activated channels (copy, imagery, video, voiceover and casting, music, sound design, motion graphics, and animation style).
Build and present concept pitches that clearly articulate the insight, idea, and execution to clients and internal stakeholders.
Direct both live-action video production and design-led display/social work with equal fluency.
Use AI-generated creative to accelerate concepting and production across display and video and set the standard for how the team applies these tools.
Serve as the final creative reviewer on all assets, holding every piece to brand, technical, and channel best-practice standards.
Coach rather than control, clearly separating objective decisions from subjective ones.
Review both video and design work at a high bar, giving direction that raises quality without dictating taste.
Provide creative mentorship to designers and multimedia specialists, sharpening their instincts, technique, and creative judgment.
Lead regular team trainings to help the team level up their skills, share techniques, and adopt new tools and approaches.
Stay current on advertising trends, emerging formats, and AI creative tools, and bring the best of them back to the team.
Maintain creative consistency across distinct brand voices while directing many concurrent projects within our SLA framework.
