Here at Power Digital, we are hyper-focused on helping brands drive revenue growth and brand recognition, ultimately driving irrefutable value for our clients.

***Proficiency in spoken and written English at an advanced level is required for this role. A day in the life:

As the Creative Director, you are the leader of your pod, a hybrid of senior individual contributor, people manager, and product leader for Creative within the division. Reporting to the Managing Director, you own two things above all else: the people on your pod, and the quality of the creative work that pod produces.

This is a player-coach role. You are the best generalist on your pod, earning the team's trust through judgment and craft, not title, and you lead from the front: explaining creative strategy directly to clients, and stepping into concepting, design, or production coverage at an exemplary standard on select high-priority accounts, and for escalations and pitches when needed.

You protect your pod from unreasonable client pressure while holding a high, non-negotiable creative bar, and you own the full creative vision for your book of business, from strategy through post-production. Beyond delivery, you push the creative product itself forward, partnering with the R&D team to pilot new tools, formats, and approaches, then translating those innovations into practical gains for your division. This role is on the roadmap to Managing Director, building the people leadership and product judgment that role demands while staying closer to the craft.

• Drive performance management using the ARC framework; deliver direct feedback and raise/promotion recommendations.
• Oversee capacity planning and staffing alignment as client books shift.
• Facilitate ongoing training and knowledge-sharing on industry trends and tools.

Client & Delivery Oversight: Senior Contributor - Lead From The Front

• Able to meet directly with clients and explain strategy, performance, and channel nuance.
• Able to get hands-on with coverage, meaning stepping into day-to-day execution on the channel, and do it at an exemplary standard.
• Provide executive-level oversight for pod accounts, with hands-on support on the most complex or highest-priority clients.
• Act as primary escalation point for client concerns within Creative.
• Strengthen retention by delivering strong creative solutions and identifying expansion opportunities.
• Track client churn trends within the pod's book and intervene early on risk signals.

Product Quality & Innovation: Own The Evolution of Your Service

• Quality: Own product quality through consistent, accountable QA, ensuring no revenue-impacting errors.
• Innovation: Lead creative product development through structured innovation, knowledge-sharing, and brainstorms; centralize learnings from betas and tests.
• Partnership: Collaborate with the Service Lead and platform partners to stay ahead of creative trends.
