Requirements

• 10+ years in design and creative, with real experience in creative direction for campaigns and multi-channel initiatives and leading teams. You've been a creative director or design lead somewhere the work was held to a high standard, and you've grown people while doing it.
• Obsession with craft. You don't settle. You're still actively working on your own taste by following people whose work you admire, making things, paying attention. Excellent taste and attention to detail across typography, layout, color, and composition.
• Strong conceptual thinking and the ability to translate strategy into compelling visual ideas.
• You move fast without much oversight. We're small and resource-constrained. Ambiguity is normal and information is usually incomplete. We need someone who can get things moving anyway and be scrappy about it.
• You take hard feedback well and give it clearly. Our culture involves direct critique in both directions. Being able to hear "this isn't good enough" without deflating, and say it to others without deflating them, is essential.
• High curiosity; you see the world a little differently. In our experience that's the most reliable marker of a strong creative thinker.
• You connect creative decisions to business outcomes like unit sales, retail performance, and market expansion. Taste matters, but so does the P&L.
• Comfortable being hands-on. This isn't a role where you only review work. Some weeks you'll be in Figma, or writing copy, or redlining packaging artwork yourself.
• Comfortable operating in a small, fast-moving environment with evolving priorities.
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability for creative outcomes.
