• Lead and inspire teams of designers and cross-functional creatives. Provide mentorship, clear creative direction, and constructive critique that elevates the work.
• Operate fluidly as both a creative leader and hands-on maker: concept, sketch, design, and refine work at a high level of craft when the moment calls for it.
• Direct external agencies and production partners end-to-end, from briefing and concept development through production and final delivery, ensuring work meets the creative bar.
• Develop and present compelling creative narratives that align stakeholders, win buy-in, and articulate the strategic rationale behind design decisions.
• Partner cross-functionally with strategy, marketing, product, and production teams to deliver integrated work that serves a global audience.
• Translate complex brand narratives into clear, simple, and culturally resonant creative expressions across a wide range of formats and touchpoints.
• Contribute to an ambitious, curious, and collaborative team culture. Champion experimentation, creative risk-taking, and continuous growth.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• 10+ years of experience in years of experience in brand design, marketing design, or advertising, with demonstrated ownership of large-scale, multi-channel campaigns and/or integrated brand systems.
• Proven experience defining, evolving, and scaling visual identity systems for consumer-facing products or global brands-translating strategy into usable guidelines and toolkits.
• Strong portfolio showing high craft across digital and social marketing, with experience extending design systems into campaigns, activations, and multi-format expressions.
• Experience leading creative workstreams end-to-end and partnering cross-functionally to align stakeholders, incorporate feedback, and deliver work that ships.
• Exceptional communication skills, with a track record of influencing creative strategy and design decisions through presentations, narratives, and clear design rationale.
• Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, with the ability to produce exploration, high-fidelity design, and presentation-ready assets.
• Portfolio demonstrating a range of work with clear outcomes (brand impact, business impact, or measurable performance where applicable).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading creative across both brand and product marketing contexts, with the versatility to shift between systems thinking and campaign execution.
• Art direction experience in film, photography, and motion, either hands-on or through strong partnership with directors, DPs, and editors.
• Motion design skills for conceptualizing.
• Experience designing for technology platforms that span multiple surfaces and constraints (e.g., consumer hardware, wearables, or hardware + software ecosystems).
• Experience with immersive or emerging formats (e.g., AR/VR, spatial/3D, interactive experiences) as part of brand or marketing creative.
• Demonstrated ability to create global-ready creative frameworks that scale across markets, localization needs, and diverse cultural contexts without losing brand integrity.
• Comfort navigating agency and production ecosystems, managing multiple vendor relationships, budgets, and timelines while maintaining creative quality.
• Proven ability to operate effectively in highly ambiguous problem spaces, bringing structure, options, and momentum when the path isn't defined.
