Creative Director

You translate the unsayable into something people can see, and HP needs that exact gift in its incoming Creative Director. The reward structure favors doers: $170,000 - $243,000 upfront, real creative ownership, and a HP team pulling the same direction. Key Responsibilities Map the emotional arc of a launch video, beat by beat, before a frame is shot Collaborate with marketing, product, and editorial teams based in Santa Ana Frame the design rationale so director approvers feel smart agreeing with you Keep current with Public Speaking and Atomic Design to expand the creative toolkit Knead a clumsy stock photo into something that feels shot for HP Salvage usable frames from a shoot the weather in Santa Ana half-ruined Hand engineering specs tight enough that the build matches the mock What You'll Bring A HP mindset: scrappy today, scalable tomorrow Familiarity with the rhythms of an entrepreneurial contract team Comfort being measured against a clear director bar Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information HP took everything frustrating about creative and rebuilt it from scratch in Santa Ana, CA, with make-it-better attention to Adobe After Effects. Mentorship goes both ways at HP, and seniority never means having all the answers. We trade fair $170,000 - $243,000 for your talent and throw in mentorship, benefits, and a flexibility policy people actually use.
