Creative Director IV

We are looking for a highly skilled and hands-on Creative Director to join our team.

You will work closely with media buying teams to ensure our creative output not only looks stunning but also drives measurable business impact and user engagement.

You will ensure all creatives are optimized for conversion, click-through rates, and brand lift.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner directly with performance marketers. You will use performance data and A/B testing insights to inform creative adjustments and continuous optimization.
• Brand Stewardship: Ensure all creative output adheres to the rigorous brand guidelines while continuously pushing the boundaries of innovative design. You will act as a brand champion, maintaining consistency across all digital touchpoints.
• Agile Execution: Manage multiple creative projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment, seamlessly pivoting between strategic ideation and tactical execution as business needs evolve.

Qualifications

• Experience: 8+ years of experience in creative direction, art direction, or senior design roles, with a strong emphasis on digital marketing and performance creative. Experience in both agency and in-house environments is highly preferred.

• Digital Marketing Acumen: Deep understanding of the digital advertising landscape, specifically programmatic display networks (DSPs), paid social media platforms, and video advertising.
• Portfolio: A stellar portfolio demonstrating a strong aesthetic eye, strategic thinking, and a proven track record of creating high-performing digital marketing assets.
• Analytical Mindset: Ability to interpret performance data and translate insights into actionable creative optimizations.
• Autonomy & Drive: Self-motivated and comfortable operating as a solo contributor. You thrive in environments where you have full ownership of the creative process from concept to final delivery.
