Creative Director

Summary

Daily Harvest was built on a simple idea: that eating well shouldn't be a whole production. The moment has never been more right for what we offer. Together with our parent company Chobani, we're nurturing a loyal, decades-built DTC base as well as spearheading a revitalization of the frozen aisle at Retail, building the next big, beloved grocery brand by bringing better food to more people.

Reporting to the Chief Commercial & Marketing Officer, you’ll lead a lean but mighty in-house creative team and agency/freelance roster, and partner closely with senior leaders across Brand, DTC, Lifecycle Marketing, Retail, and our extended Chobani team. You’ll be a player-coach as a leader: hands-on in the craft while driving creative strategy across the organization.
