13h•$125,000 - $145,000

About The Position

As the Creative Director at Schoox, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our visual brand identity and creative asset development. This is a hands-on creative leadership role: you will set creative strategy, drive execution, and raise the quality bar across every touchpoint working in close partnership with a curated mix of creative agencies and production partners rather than managing a large internal team. You bring both the strategic vision and the leadership to manage a high-volume creative environment without diluting the brand’s visual quality.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in a related field (e.g., Fine Arts, Graphic Design, Marketing, or Advertising).
8+ years of creative experience, with a track record of operating as both a hands-on practitioner and a strategic creative lead ideally within B2B SaaS, enterprise technology, or a fast-growth software company.
Strong portfolio showcasing a range of creative work across various mediums.
Proficiency in creative software (e.g., Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, etc.).
Excellent communication and presentation skills.
A strategic thinker with a deep understanding of marketing and brand development.
Proven experience managing external creative agencies and freelancers — evaluating partners, writing creative briefs, providing clear direction, and holding work to brand and quality standards.
Strong project management skills and the ability to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Knowledge of emerging trends and technologies, including the use of AI tools to support creative asset production.
