About The Position

Eskimi is a full-stack creative and media tech platform for brands, agencies, and publishers. It integrates a programmatic DSP, an in-house creative studio, advanced audience targeting, customizable Media Packages, and a Monetization Suite. The platform focuses on attention-optimized campaigns with rich media formats and premium local inventory, supported by teams in over 30 countries providing local insights. Eskimi values growth, ownership, innovation, drive, and collaboration, fostering a dynamic and inclusive global environment across its teams. This role is for a Head of Creative Innovation to lead the Creative Studio alongside the existing Studio lead.

The primary goal is to determine what Eskimi should be able to create next and how to make these creations repeatable, moving beyond daily production oversight.

Requirements

Senior creative leadership experience - Associate Creative Director, Creative Technologist, Design Director or similar, from a digital, experiential or creative technology background.
A habit of making rather than only presenting: you sketch, storyboard, prototype and build rough demonstrations to test an idea.
Strong grounding in rich media, interactive, motion, video or 3D creative production.
Hands-on experience applying generative AI to creative work, and a clear view of where it helps and where it does not.
Commercial judgement - you ask what a concept helps a client achieve, and why a salesperson would want to pitch it.
Comfort with performance data, and the willingness to kill your own ideas when the numbers say so.
Experience raising the creative confidence of a team: useful feedback, open critique, experimentation that feels possible.
The discipline to finish and hand over - turning promising experiments into something a studio can produce, sell and support.
Good communication skills and professional working English.
