About The Position

We're building an in-house creative studio that brings campaigns, product storytelling, content, events, and advertising together under one roof. You will work with other marketing leaders to establish a cohesive and integrated marketing vision. As Executive Creative Director, you'll define KOHO's creative vision and lead the team that brings it to life across every touchpoint. This role is equal parts creative leadership, organizational leadership, and talent development. You'll oversee a multidisciplinary team of creative directors, designers, copywriters, and producers, ensuring everything KOHO puts into the world reflects an exceptional creative standard while supporting business objectives. You'll shape how the creative organization operates, establish the systems and culture that enable great work, and serve as the senior creative voice across the company. While your primary focus is leading people and building the organization, you'll remain close to the work—guiding concepts, providing direction, and occasionally rolling up your sleeves when needed. Reporting to the Chief Growth Officer, you'll partner closely with leaders across Growth, Lifecycle, Product Marketing, and Product to connect creative excellence with business impact.
