108d • Onsite

About The Position

Join one of the fastest-growing companies in publishing — and help us change lives through books.
About SelfPublishing.com
We’re on a mission to help 100,000 people publish a book by 2035 — impacting over 120 million readers through what we call Leveraged Impact. (Curious? Check out our founder’s TEDx talk 👉 here).
At SelfPublishing.com, we empower purpose-driven people to share their stories through books — and we do it through a mix of online education, expert coaching, accountability, and done-for-you publishing services.
We’ve made the INC 5000 list four times (2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022) — and we’re not slowing down anytime soon. 🚀
About the Role
We’re looking for a Creative Director with a big imagination, bold ideas, and a love for storytelling that moves people to action.
This is your chance to lead an insanely talented team of designers, strategists, and creators — and build content that not only turns heads but drives real revenue.
If you’ve ever looked at a campaign and thought, “I could make that 10x more engaging”… we want you.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience leading content and social media teams (bonus points if you’ve worked in publishing or creative services)
• A track record of creative campaigns that drove real results — engagement, leads, sales, you name it
• Strong leadership chops — you love building up your team as much as building out a brand
• Comfort with design tools (Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, etc.)
• A love of data and optimization — because creative is only as good as the impact it makes
• You’re plugged into the latest platform trends and understand what works (and why)
• Killer communication and storytelling skills — you make words and visuals work for you

Nice To Haves

• You naturally connect content with revenue — your ideas don’t just look great, they work.
• Experience in publishing? Huge plus.
• You’ve built (or helped build) social brands with real audience growth.
• You have a portfolio that showcases your creative range and the results to back it up.
• You love shaking things up — bringing innovation and storytelling together to make something unforgettable.

Responsibilities

• Lead the vision. Build and execute a content and social strategy that grows engagement, amplifies our brand, and drives measurable growth.
• Oversee all things creative. From Instagram Reels to YouTube series to thought-leadership posts on LinkedIn — you’ll guide the creation of content that inspires and converts.
• Empower your team. Lead, mentor, and inspire our creators and designers to do their best work (and have fun doing it).
• Measure what matters. Use data and insights to refine strategy, report on wins, and continually raise the creative bar.
• Collaborate cross-functionally. Work with marketing, sales, and product to make sure every campaign aligns with our larger business goals.
• Stay ahead of trends. You’re the first to spot what’s next — and you know how to adapt it for our brand voice and audience.

Benefits

• You’ll be joining a passionate, fast-growing team that believes books can change lives — and we’re proving it every day. We work hard, celebrate big wins, and love what we do.
