Head of Arts & Culture

Who We Are Kargo creates powerful moments of connection between brands and consumers to build businesses. Every day, our 600+ employees work to radically raise the bar on what agentic AI, CTV, eCommerce, social, and mobile can do to deliver unique ad experiences across the world’s most premium platforms. Taking a creative science approach to all we do, we continuously innovate solutions that outperform industry benchmarks and client expectations. Creatives who want to design it better. Data pros who turn numbers into insights. Anyone eager to be on a team that doesn’t stop to ask what’s next, because they’re already building it.

Mission Elevate Kargo's brand expression across every surface — from sales decks and event activations to social, sizzles, and industry moments like Cannes. This role owns the craft and consistency of Kargo's visual identity, partnering with the Design Director to translate strategy into design work that distinguishes Kargo in a crowded ad tech landscape.

Outcomes — What Success Looks Like in 6-12 Months Raise the creative bar on sales and marketing collateral. Deliver a refreshed system of bespoke presentation templates, one-pagers, and pitch assets that the sales org adopts as default, measurably reducing ad-hoc design requests.

Anchor the visual identity of flagship events. Lead end-to-end creative for at least one tentpole moment (e.g., Cannes, NewFronts, CES, or a regional summit), from concept through on‑site execution, producing work that earns internal and industry recognition.

Build a scalable creative operations rhythm. Produce a consistent stream of motion, animation, and short‑form video assets that strengthen Kargo's voice across LinkedIn, industry channels, and internal comms.

Codify and evolve the brand system. Contribute meaningful updates to brand guidelines, templates, and asset libraries so the broader org can self‑serve on‑brand work without sacrificing quality.
