Senior Creative

About The Position

We’re looking for a Senior Creative who lives at the center of culture—someone who refreshes Versus, Hypebeast, Complex and niche corners of the internet like it’s email, and pulls inspiration from everywhere: music, fashion, internet culture, sport, and everything in between. You’re a culture-obsessed tastemaker with range. You move fluidly between sport, music, fashion, and subcultures, understanding how moments spark, spread, and evolve. You don’t just clock trends—you see them forming early and know how to shape them into ideas people actually care about. Crucially, you’re earned first. You know how to turn cultural tension into moments that earn headlines with an angle, a stunt, a social series, a brand act, etc. that gets picked up by press, creators and fans—not just pushed out as an ad. You’re a conceptual thinker first, with the craft to bring ideas to life. Whether through art direction, writing, or both, you know how to build a world, name it, and express it across formats—from social to IRL to everything in between. If you live for big ideas, big drops, big games, big stories, this is your lane.
