Job description

We're looking for a creative leader who thrives at the intersection of big-picture brand building and hands-on creative execution. This is a role for a player-coach who can roll up their sleeves on the work while building, inspiring, and mentoring a world-class creative team in a fast-paced business.

As Executive Creative Director, you'll report directly to the CMO and shape the future of one of the most dynamic health and lifestyle brands in the country.

Your mission : turn bold strategies into market-shaping realities. You'll own the creative vision across every channel - digital, physical, experiential, and more - and you'll personally engage in the work to ensure excellence while coaching your team to deliver their best.

This role is about impact, not just pitches. You'll deliver campaigns that drive results, design that elevates experience, and content that creates loyalty, all while building a creative function that scales.

  • Deliver breakthrough campaigns and experiences that reinforce our positioning and cultural relevance.
  • Ensure agility, speed-to-market, and consistency across all brand expressions as we scale nationally.
