Creative Director

Jack Morton Worldwide • Boston, MA

16h • Hybrid

About The Position

At Jack Morton, we create and build brand experiences that are head-turning, smile-inducing, and impact-driving. We aim to redefine what experiential marketing can achieve, helping clients unlock the full value of experiences. This requires a team that is bold, curious, and acts as one, building on ideas, pushing boundaries, and supporting each other. You will do your best work, grow fast, and collaborate across clients, disciplines, and global teams to bring new ideas to life. This is a place where curiosity drives innovation, boldness raises the bar, and success is achieved together. Ownership is expected, egos are left at the door, and the work reflects the people behind it. We offer experience without limits in your work, growth, and impact. This role requires the ability to work hybrid in New York City (preferred) or Boston. This is a unique creative role focused on ultra-high-net-worth audiences, intimate gatherings at extraordinary properties, and brand experiences where every detail, from floral arrangements to keynote narratives, carries significant weight. A misplaced font is noticed, and the difference between good and extraordinary is felt before it's seen. You will be the dedicated Creative Director (Art) on one of our most prestigious and complex global accounts, a leading financial services firm that draws creative inspiration from luxury lifestyle, fashion, and contemporary design. You will be the sole creative authority on this client globally, understanding their brand instinctively, earning their trust, and upholding the creative standard across all programs, from intimate investor gatherings to flagship partner summits.

Requirements

• 8+ years of agency-side experience in experiential marketing or brand experience, with a track record of leading creative on large, complex programs end-to-end
• A portfolio that demonstrates genuine creative range including narrative-led experiential work that is as sophisticated in concept as it is in execution
• Proven experience directing large, complex programs where the creative vision was maintained from pitch through physical delivery
• Deep fluency across both 2D and 3D creative disciplines. You think about environment, material, light, and scenic with the same instinct you bring to graphic design and content
• A demonstrable aesthetic sensibility aligned with luxury, contemporary design, or premium lifestyle, evidenced through the work, not just stated
• Proven ability to work directly with senior clients as a creative consultant, not just a creative executor
• Production literacy. You understand what it costs, what it takes, and what has to give for reality to meet the render

Nice To Haves

• Experience on accounts within luxury hospitality, fashion, financial services, or premium lifestyle brands
• Experience directing creative across international programs and managing globally distributed creative teams
• Background working on intimate, high-touch events or with high net-worth audiences, where detail, hospitality design, and environmental storytelling are central to the creative brief
• Comfort working alongside strategists to translate messaging frameworks into experiential architectures
• Experience creating and directing work for ultra-high-net-worth, C-suite, or similarly discerning audiences where expectations for polish, hospitality, and detail are exceptionally high
• Demonstrated comfort and credibility operating in formal, high-protocol corporate and financial services environments with professional polish and client-facing presence

Responsibilities

• Serve as the creative authority on a prestigious global financial services account setting and protecting the creative standard across every program, every market, every touchpoint
• Develop and direct integrated experience concepts that go beyond aesthetic wrappers: building narrative frameworks and experience pillars that inform everything from venue selection and hospitality design to scenic, content, and programming
• Translate strategic thinking into experiential reality working alongside a strategist to ensure the creative always serves the story, and the story always serves the client's business objectives
• Direct the full creative output from concept through execution from initial renders to on-site delivery ensuring the promise made in the room matches the reality on the ground
• Think across 2D and 3D simultaneously: graphic identity, environmental design, scenic, hospitality, print, digital content, and the considered details that define a luxury experience
• Oversee and direct junior creatives and freelance talent on a project-by-project basis, maintaining creative consistency and quality across a globally distributed team
• Present ideas with authority and conviction to sophisticated, senior client audiences and build the kind of trust where your creative recommendation carries genuine weight
• Manage, mentor and develop junior creative talent, creating an environment where high standards are non-negotiable and craft is celebrated
• Contribute to a West Coast creative culture defined by ambition, rigour, and genuine pride in the quality of the work
• Embody Jack Morton's values of creativity, collaboration, and inclusivity in every client and colleague interaction
• Embody and advocate for Jack Morton’s values of creativity, collaboration, and inclusivity in all interactions with colleagues, clients, and partners.
• Contribute to fostering a supportive and inspiring workplace by participating in team-building initiatives, office events, and agency-wide programs.
• Actively engage in learning opportunities, from training sessions to thought leadership discussions, to stay informed about industry trends and best practices.
• Share knowledge, insights, and experiences with colleagues to strengthen the agency’s collective expertise and create a culture of continuous improvement.
• Manage, mentor, coach, hire, recruit and fiercely protect the agency culture that makes Jack a great place to work.
