Job description

People Architects has been engaged by a rapidly growing, tech-enabled consumer products company to find a visionary, hands-on Creative Director to lead their in-house creative team.

In this role, you'll own the creative vision for multiple high-growth consumer brands-driving storytelling, brand consistency, and customer experience at scale. You'll have the freedom to build, lead, and innovate, guiding a team that moves fast, thinks big, and operates like a top-tier internal creative agency.

What You'll Do

  • Lead and inspire a talented in-house creative team while maintaining consistency and excellence across multiple brands.
  • Develop and enforce brand guidelines to ensure visual cohesion and best-in-class creative execution across campaigns, digital, and packaging.
  • Oversee all aspects of creative production; from concept and briefing through design, photo / video shoots, and final approvals.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing, e-commerce, and performance teams to ensure creative not only looks good but performs.
  • Roll up your sleeves when needed to mentor, teach, or help build when the team needs support.
  • Identify process bottlenecks and drive efficiency in creative workflows without sacrificing quality or originality.
  • Stay ahead of design trends, consumer behavior, and emerging tech to keep the brands fresh, relevant, and competitive.

Who You Are

  • A design-rooted leader who has grown from designer to art director to creative director-fluent in Adobe Creative Suite and comfortable leading by example.
  • A brand guardian who values consistency, storytelling, and the power of cohesive design systems.
  • A mentor and instructor who can brief, guide, and elevate the work of others.
  • An agency-style operator who thrives in a fast-paced, multi-brand environment.
  • A collaborator who partners seamlessly across marketing, strategy, and product teams, balancing creative vision with business impact.
  • A problem-solver who can identify creative noncompliance or inefficiencies and fix them quickly and tactfully.
  • Qualifications

  • 6+ years of progressive creative leadership in D2C, e-commerce, or consumer brands.
  • Proven experience managing creative teams and processes across digital and print.
  • Deep knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects).
  • Portfolio demonstrating exceptional taste, versatility, and measurable impact.
  • Shopify experience is a plus, but not required.
  • Bachelor's degree in Design, Visual Communication, Marketing, or related field preferred.
  • We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace. People Architects and our clients are equal opportunity employers and do not discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, protected veteran status, disability, age, or other legally protected status. Applicants for employment with any of People Architect's clients will never be asked to provide money (even if reimbursable) as part of the job application or hiring process.

  • no external agencies / 3rd parties.
