Director / Sr. Director, Creative & Production

Seekr • Austin, TX

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

This is the senior marketing leader who owns Seekr's brand and creative output as an integrated production function - brand visual identity, video production, motion design, photography, event creative, web visual standards, executive communications design, and the daily creative work that puts Seekr in front of buyers across every surface. The role lives at the intersection of brand strategy, creative direction, and production management.
Video is the new center of gravity. Buyers increasingly evaluate AI providers through video - customer stories, product walkthroughs, executive thought leadership, demos, conference recordings - and Seekr's creative function needs to be built for that reality, not bolted onto an older content motion. You will own the video strategy, the video calendar, the production capability (in-house and agency-supported), and the standard for what ships.
This is a manager-of-craft role with a real team. A Senior Manager, Brand & Creative reports to you, owning day-to-day brand stewardship and content production. A Senior Designer (hiring) reports to you, owning visual design across all surfaces. An external creative agency supports the function on video and other high-craft work; you direct that relationship as a buyer who knows what good looks like and can transition work in-house where the math favors it.
The function reports to the CMO and partners closely with Technical Product Marketing on product visualization, Demand Generation on campaign creative, PR & Communications on earned content design and executive content, and Web & Digital on the web visual surface. Creative does not sit downstream of marketing; creative is one of the most credible expressions of Seekr's positioning, and you treat it as such.

Requirements

• 12+ years in creative leadership at a B2B technology company, with at least three of those years owning brand and creative output end-to-end.
• Strong portfolio across brand identity, video production, campaign creative, and event design. We will look closely at the video work specifically.
• Direct experience building or scaling a video production capability - concept to delivery, in-house, agency, or hybrid model.
• Experience managing creative teams (designers, producers, motion designers) and directing external creative agencies.
• Demonstrated practice using AI tools in creative workflows - ideation, motion, video, image generation against brand guardrails. We will ask what you have shipped with AI assistance, what you have kept human, and where you draw the line.
• Comfort with technical AI subject matter - enough to communicate Seekr's product visually without translation by Technical Product Marketing.
• Demonstrated comfort partnering across product marketing, demand generation, PR, field marketing, and web disciplines in an integrated marketing function.

Nice To Haves

• Active or eligible for U.S. security clearance, a plus but not required.

Responsibilities

• Own Seekr's brand visual identity end-to-end - the system, its application across every surface, and its evolution as the company scales. The brand is a tool, not a constraint; lead by using it well.
• Build and run the video production capability - strategy, calendar, in-house production, agency direction, post-production workflows. Treat video as a core competency, not a side project.
• Set a cinematic bar for Seekr's video quality - film-grade storytelling, pacing, sound, and color, not corporate-explainer templates. As an AI company, Seekr should be visibly working at the frontier of what AI makes possible in video; the work should make that obvious the moment someone hits play, without ever tipping into generic AI slop.
• Own the blend of AI-generated and live-action. The strongest work sits at the seam - generative sequences woven with real footage and b-roll, where AI extends what a camera could capture rather than replacing it. Know when a shot should be filmed, when it should be generated, and when the power is in the cut between the two.
• Direct the external creative agency relationship - scope, standards, budget, deliverables. Where the agency is delivering, scale the engagement. Where it isn't, manage to better outcomes or transition work in-house.
• Manage, coach, develop, and hire additional team members as scope warrants.
• Partner with Technical Product Marketing on product visualization - architecture diagrams, product walkthrough videos, technical illustration, demo design. AI architecture is hard to communicate visually; do it well.
• Partner with Demand Generation on campaign creative - concept, art direction, production. Where they own the campaign, you own the look, the feel, and the production quality.
• Partner with PR & Communications on executive content design, earned content visualization, and social creative - including the video and motion content that increasingly carries executive thought leadership.
• Partner with the GTM team on event creative - booth graphics, signage, presentation design, on-stage production for federal and commercial events.
• Partner with Web & Digital on the web visual standards and the web-as-brand-surface.
• Build and operate AI-accelerated production workflows - ideation, motion design assistance, video editing assistance, variant production at scale, brand-guarded image generation. Seekr is an AI company; creative should be the most obvious place where we use AI well - and the most obvious place where we don't ship AI slop.
