At SelfPublishing.com , we empower purpose-driven people to share their stories through books — and we do it through a mix of online education, expert coaching, accountability, and done‑for‑you publishing services.

About the Role We’re looking for a Creative Director with a big imagination, bold ideas, and a love for storytelling that moves people to action. This is your chance to lead an insanely talented team of designers, strategists, and creators — and build content that not only turns heads but drives real revenue. If you’ve ever looked at a campaign and thought, "I could make that 10x more engaging" … we want you. What You’ll Do Lead the vision.

From Instagram Reels to YouTube series to thought‑leadership posts on LinkedIn — you’ll guide the creation of content that inspires and converts. Empower your team. Lead, mentor, and inspire our creators and designers to do their best work (and have fun doing it). Measure what matters. Use data and insights to refine strategy, report on wins, and continually raise the creative bar. Collaborate cross‑functionally. Work with marketing, sales, and product to make sure every campaign aligns with our larger business goals. Stay ahead of trends. You’re the first to spot what’s next — and you know how to adapt it for our brand voice and audience.
