About the Role

As a Group Creative Director, you’ll move between big-picture thinking and in-the-weeds execution. That means directing the flow of work, guiding talented creatives, and stepping in when needed to drive things forward. It’s a role that demands agility, clarity, and the ability to zoom out for strategic oversight while staying sharp in the details. At Global Studio, the Group Creative Director is a “player-coach.” You’ll lead from within, steering the team toward standout work while staying hands-on with creative development and production. You’re part strategist, part maker, and all-in on building campaigns that work across digital, social, upper-funnel, and TV. We’re looking for someone who knows how to lead multi-disciplinary teams, has a proven track record with global campaigns, and creates work that feels native to the platforms it lives on. If your portfolio blends cinematic spots, smart digital work, and strong design, we want to see it.
