As Creative Director, you will define and drive Sparkli’s creative strategy — from visual identity and animation to user interface design and narrative experience. You will collaborate closely with product, engineering, and curriculum leads to ensure all creative output reflects Sparkli’s vision, values, and educational goals.

• Strong experience in creative roles in generative AI, product design, interactive storytelling, or gaming environments.
• Proficiency in Figma, Rive and the Adobe Creative Suite, including Illustrator, After Effects, and Photoshop.
• Proficiency in generative AI tools, including Sora, Runway, Lyria, Suno, and Veo/Flow.
• Demonstrated ability to deliver advanced visual designs for digital products, with an emphasis on quality, storytelling, and polish.
• Experience producing and directing motion design and animation for product interfaces, onboarding, or interactive feedback.
• Familiarity with creative production tools such as Lottie, Spine, Unity, or Blender is a plus.
• Experience in edtech, children’s media, gamified learning platforms, or related creative technology sectors.
• Ability to define and communicate creative strategy and systems thinking across teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Multicultural or multilingual design experience is a plus.
