Job description

Make your mark as a Senior Creative Director in the Creative & Marketing sector, based in Liverpool.

A Liverpool startup is building its creative function from the ground up, and it needs someone who can shape the work rather than just manage it. Creative & Marketing teams inside fast-growing companies live or die on the strength of one person's taste and instinct, and that's the gap this Senior Creative Director role is meant to fill. Liverpool's creative scene has real momentum right now, and this is a chance to lead inside it rather than watch from the sidelines.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

• Set the creative direction across campaigns, brand and product, and defend it when things get chaotic
• Build and mentor a small creative team, giving clear feedback rather than vague notes
• Pitch concepts directly to founders and stakeholders, and adjust fast when priorities shift
• Oversee output across digital, social, and brand work, keeping quality consistent as volume grows
• Run rapid creative testing cycles, learning from what lands and killing what doesn't
• Manage relationships with freelancers and external partners when the work needs extra hands

Here are the skills you'll need:

• A strong portfolio showing creative leadership, not just individual contributor work
• Comfort operating without a big team or established process behind you
• Sharp presentation skills. You'll be selling ideas to people who ask hard questions
• Solid grounding in brand strategy alongside hands-on creative craft
• The ability to switch between big-picture thinking and fixing a font size at 11pm
• Genuine interest in the Creative & Marketing space and where it's heading next

Key perks and benefits:

• £52,000 to £71,000, depending on experience
• Equity in the business, so the upside is actually yours
• Hybrid working based out of Liverpool, with flexible hours around it
• A proper learning and development budget, not a token gesture
• Flat structure. You'll have direct access to the people making decisions

Why pursue a career in Creative & Marketing?

Creative & Marketing keeps growing because businesses can't compete on product alone anymore. Liverpool has quietly become one of the better UK cities for this kind of work, with a growing base of startups that need strong creative leadership early. Good Senior Creative Director candidates are still hard to find, which means the ones who deliver tend to move up fast.
