Job Summary

Own and elevate the creative vision for two brands, lead a multidisciplinary team across brand voice, packaging, and channel execution, and drive strategy while maintaining distinct brand identities and high-quality output.

  • Own brand voice and design system across channels
  • Lead creative leadership and cross-functional partnerships to shape strategy early

Job Description

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

Dollar Shave Club

3.1 Glassdoor

In 2011, we didn't just disrupt the entire shaving industry; we revolutionized it, shattering conventions with a viral video sensation that became the gold standard for humor in advertising. Our trailblazing direct-to-consumer model didn’t just pave new paths—it bulldozed age old industry giants, minting us as a force to be reckoned with. Dollar Shave Club crafted not just products, but experiences. We made shaving not suck by cutting out all the unnecessary BS that's been upsold to guys for decades. We continued to make great f**king blades and also became the geniuses behind tons of dude-centric products like Ball Spray, offering solutions to problems men didn't know they needed. Today we continue to expand our international grooming arsenal, and hold fast to the disruptive DNA and irreverent humor that catapulted us to fame. Our global expansion and presence in tens of thousands of retail stores are testaments to our commitment to make the hairy globe a little smoother. Stop wasting time not working for us and come join the club!
