Job description

About Volt

Volt is the trading name of Emergent Analytics Pte Ltd

Volt is a Singapore creative boutique. We make campaigns for brands that need to be loud in crowded markets, and we do it across Southeast Asia and India with a deep bench in AI, gaming and tech.

Three things we are:

• A creative house first. Strategy, media, AI production and activations all exist to get a big idea made well and seen by the right people.
• Small on purpose. No layers, no committees. The people who come up with the idea are the people who sell it, and the people who make it.
• Early with AI. We already use it in production, and we want someone who treats it like a craft, not a shortcut.

The role

We are hiring a Creative Director to sit next to our Chief Creative Officer and own the quality of what leaves the building. You will lead the ideas, the writers, the designers and the production partners, and you will be in the room when we present to clients. Hands-on, still. We want you making work, not just reviewing it.

A large part of our pipeline is Indonesia, so you will be the creative voice for that market: how people there actually talk, play, scroll and spend, and what makes them stop.

What you will do

• Lead the creative on campaigns across film, social, digital, gaming and live activations, from first thought to final cut.
• Build ideas that start from a real audience truth, not a template, and take them to clients with a clear point of view.
• Direct and mentor designers, copywriters and content creators. Give sharp feedback and raise the bar for the whole team.
• Work with strategy, account and production so the idea survives the journey and ships at the quality it deserves.
• Present concepts, scripts and storyboards to clients and to our leadership, and hold your ground when it matters.
• Shape our creative approach for the Indonesian market, including local casting, language, cultural nuance and platform behaviour.
• Use AI tools across ideation, previz and production, and help us decide where they earn their place and where they don't.
• Back the founders in pitches and new business.

What we are looking for

• 10+ years in creative roles at advertising, branding or digital agencies, with at least 3 years leading creative teams as a Creative Director, Associate Creative Director or Group Head.
• A portfolio of campaigns you led, with the idea, the craft and the result all visible.
• Fluency in Bahasa Indonesia and English, spoken and written, because you will write, present and review work in both for Indonesian clients and audiences.
• Working knowledge of Indonesian consumer culture and digital platforms. Experience in gaming, mobile, tech or entertainment is a strong advantage.
• Comfort with the tools of the job: Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, and AI-assisted image, video and copy tools.
• Clear, confident communication with clients and teams.
• A Bachelor's degree in design, advertising, communications, fine arts or a related field, or an equivalent professional track record.
