Creative Director

The Role

------------

This is a senior individual contributor role with a Creative Director title. You won't have direct reports on day one. You will own the creative output of the agency across brand strategy, design, copywriting, and video and motion work. You'll work directly with the Marketing Director and Account Director as a three-person leadership core, shaping the thinking behind every engagement and executing it at the level our clients expect.

The right person for this role wants the autonomy and ownership of a senior IC and is excited to grow into a leadership position as we hire creative talent under them. You'll set the bar, define the standards, and build the foundation a team will eventually scale on top of.

What You'll Own

-------------------

Design.

This is the primary need. Visual identity systems, campaign creative, web design partnership with our digital team, sales and marketing collateral, and pitch materials. You set the visual standard for everything that leaves the agency, and your hands are on the work.

Brand strategy.

Positioning, messaging architecture, voice and tone, audience and persona development, naming, and the strategic briefs that drive every creative engagement. You'll work directly with our Differentiator Framework and help operationalize it for client work.

Copywriting.

Brand messaging, web copy, campaign copy, sales narratives, and long-form content. You can write across registers, from a punchy headline to a thoughtful executive narrative.

Video and motion.

You don't need to be a full-time editor or animator, but you should be able to direct video work, write scripts, storyboard concepts, and partner with production resources to deliver finished motion work.

Creative leadership.

You'll be the creative voice in client conversations, internal strategy sessions, and new business pitches. You'll define how Plan Left's creative work shows up in the market.
