Senior Director, Portfolio Creative & Design

Responsibilities

• Set and drive strategic creative direction across both brands — the ideas, the standard, and the through-line from brand strategy to executed work
• Lead, coach, and grow the creative organization: Creative Directors, Associate Creative Directors, designers, copy, and social content — across both brands and the Brand Voice function
• Protect each brand’s distinctiveness. Ensure DSC and Truly remain unmistakably separate to the consumer in voice, design language, and casting, with no drift toward a house style
• Own brand voice consistency for both brands across every channel — paid, owned, earned, retail, packaging, and site — in partnership with the Brand Voice owner
• Lean into concept and ideation personally on the moments that matter most: platform work, launches, and tentpole campaigns
• Keep a pulse on culture/competitive trends in both personal care and grooming for DSC and Beauty for Truly to continue to be on the cutting edge of fashion, social, digital and marketing trends
• Partner with CBIO on packaging portfolio strategy and design across both portfolios — architecture, hierarchy, shelf impact, and the finish and quality the consumer is paying for
• Define how products come to life across every portfolio and channel, from PDP through retail shelf, and build the creative toolkits that let channels execute without re-briefing
• Identify and capture synergy behind the scenes — shared capability, tooling, production, design systems, and standards — without letting it surface as sameness in the work
• Partner with Brand Management on briefs, ensuring creative is engaged early enough to shape strategy rather than decorate it

Requirements

• 10+ years of creative experience, including 3+ years leading creative leaders — Creative Directors or Associate Creative Directors reporting to you
• A portfolio that shows range across brands and voices, not one signature style applied repeatedly
• Experience leading creative for more than one brand or distinct audience simultaneously
• Deep concepting credibility — you still generate ideas, not only judge them
• Demonstrated ownership of brand voice and design systems across channels
• Hands-on packaging and structural design experience, including portfolio architecture and retail shelf considerations
• Experience across both brand and performance creative, and comfort with the volume and velocity social-first channels demand
• Background in beauty, personal care, grooming, or comparable consumer categories strongly preferred; experience across both male- and female-skewed brands is a significant plus
• Agency and in-house experience is ideal; you understand the tradeoffs of each
• Fluency with AI-enabled creative tools and a point of view on where they help and where they flatten the work

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefit plans with low premium options, including medical, dental and vision coverage, along with supplemental coverage options
• Free life insurance, short term disability and long term disability
• 401(k) plan with a company match of 100% of the first 2%, and 50% of up to an additional 4% with no vesting period
• Unlimited vacation and generous sick time
• Half day Fridays year-round (subject to business needs)
• 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave
• 4 weeks of fully paid disability leave
• Free Dollar Shave Club Products
• Monthly cell phone stipend
