Creative Director - Small Business

$146k - $261.36k

Jobleads-US

Creative Director, Flow Studio


Job Requisition ID # 26WD98289

Autodesk builds the tools behind the world around us. From the buildings we live in to the products we use, our customers design and make what’s next, and we power that work. We’re evolving into a Design and Make platform, connecting the full lifecycle from idea to reality. It’s a shift from standalone tools to a more connected, intelligent system, and it’s changing how things get made.

Within Autodesk, Flow Studio is building a new category at the intersection of AI, creativity, and storytelling.

Why this role exists Flow Studio sits at the intersection of product and culture. We need a Creative Director who can define how the product shows up in the world, not just through campaigns, but through everything we make. This role requires a builder mindset. Someone who can create a distinct creative voice, operate at speed, and bring a level of craft that stands out in a crowded AI and creative tools landscape.

What you’ll do



  • Define the creative standard for all content - ensuring it is both visually compelling and technically credible

  • Establish a clear point of view on what "great" looks like for VFX-driven product storytelling

  • Push the team beyond expected formats into more distinctive, category-defining work

  • Lead creative direction across campaigns, product marketing, and always-on social content

  • Develop a distinct visual and storytelling language for Flow Studio

  • Translate product features, especially AI-driven capabilities, into compelling, human stories

  • Partner deeply with marketing and product to ensure creative is grounded in real use cases

  • Guide collaboration between: Technical artists / VFX Design and motion Editorial and copy

  • Ensure work feels integrated, not handed off between silos

  • Bring a strong point of view on film, storytelling, and content formats across platforms

  • Build systems that allow us to produce high-quality work at speed

  • Continuously push the work to feel modern, relevant, and culturally aware

  • Provide clear creative direction and actionable feedback

  • Mentor across disciplines (design, VFX, storytelling)

What you bring



  • Strong portfolio across brand, product, and social content

  • Experience in media, entertainment, or film is a strong plus

  • Background in fast-moving, content-driven environments

  • Ability to concept and execute, not just direct

  • High taste level with attention to detail and storytelling craft

  • Understanding of how AI is shaping creative workflows and output

  • Comfort working across formats including film, social, digital, and product storytelling

  • Collaborative mindset with a bias toward making

What great looks like



  • Flow Studio work stands out immediately in a crowded AI and creative tools space

  • Creative feels culturally relevant while staying rooted in the product

  • We show, not tell. The product is visible, understood, and desirable

  • Social content is as considered as campaign work

  • The team delivers high-quality work at speed without losing craft

  • We consistently create work people want to watch, not skip

Build a culture of



  • curiosity

  • ownership

  • high standards

About the team


We’re building a fully integrated marketing and creative team designed for how modern products grow. High taste, high velocity, and a clear focus on impact. We believe the best creative comes from teams that care deeply about the product and move fast enough to keep up with it.
