Job description

As an AI-Enabled Creative Director, you will turn complex business challenges into compelling creative ideas while making AI an essential part of how creative work is developed and delivered.

You will lead multidisciplinary teams, shape creative direction, and confidently sell ideas to clients. Beyond using AI tools yourself, you will build and apply practical workflows that expand creative possibilities, improve production efficiency, and help your teams deliver exceptional work.

This role calls for both strong creative leadership and hands-on AI expertise. You know how to inspire people, make confident creative decisions, and use emerging technology to elevate the work without compromising originality, strategy, or quality.

Designity is a premium, AI-enabled and human-led Creative-as-a-Service platform. We help brands scale creative and marketing work through dedicated Creative Director-led teams. Our model brings together senior creative leadership, multidisciplinary talent, managed execution, and AI-enabled workflows so clients can move faster without lowering the standard.

Why this role exists

Designity is moving beyond Creative Directors who use AI for occasional tasks toward leaders who can integrate it meaningfully throughout client projects.

With each Creative Circle supporting approximately 8–9 client accounts, maintaining exceptional creative quality while managing continuous production requires smarter, more effective ways of working.

We need a Creative Director who can turn AI into a practical advantage: expanding creative possibilities when developing ideas, building workflows that streamline asset production, and helping creative teams work more effectively.

This role brings hands-on AI expertise into our existing Creative Director model. It is not a company wide AI systems position, but a client-facing creative leadership role that combines AI implementation with strong strategic thinking, independent decision-making, and end-to-end creative ownership.

What you will be doing

• Set the creative vision – Lead creative direction across multiple clients, industries, and disciplines, translating business objectives into compelling concepts, campaigns, brand identities, digital experiences, motion, and content.
• Sell and champion creative ideas – Present concepts with confidence, articulate the strategy behind your recommendations, and build buy-in from both clients and creative teams. Navigate objections assertively and constructively while protecting the integrity of the work.
• Build and implement AI-enabled workflows – Develop practical workflows for your client projects, combining AI tools to streamline asset creation, refinement, and production. Identify opportunities to reduce repetitive work, improve efficiency, and strengthen execution.
• Expand creative possibilities through AI – Use AI to explore new directions, challenge conventional approaches, and develop stronger creative solutions. Apply the technology where it adds meaningful value, not simply because it is available.
• Lead and mentor multidisciplinary creatives – Provide clear direction, actionable feedback, and support to designers, writers, motion specialists, and other creative professionals. Help teams strengthen their craft and incorporate AI effectively into their work.
• Own the creative lifecycle – Stay involved from the initial brief through final delivery, overseeing execution and quality control. Ensure every asset meets the highest standards of strategic relevance, originality, brand consistency, and production quality.
• Collaborate closely with Creative Project Managers (CPMs) – Partner with your CPM to align priorities, navigate feedback, and support smooth project execution while maintaining ownership of creative direction and outcomes.
• Anticipate and resolve challenges – Proactively identify creative or client issues, make confident decisions, and find solutions independently. Take responsibility for keeping creative work moving without relying on managerial escalation.

What you will bring

• Around 8 years of relevant creative experience, including at least 2 years in creative leadership and 2 years of hands‑on experience applying AI to creative workflows.
• An outstanding creative portfolio with strong AI-enabled samples, demonstrating strategic thinking, originality, and high-quality execution across creative disciplines. You can clearly explain your role, creative decisions, and the impact of AI on the final work.
• Proven experience developing and implementing AI-powered creative workflows, combining technologies such as Higgsfield, Weavy, or comparable tools to enhance creative development and production. Your expertise goes beyond basic prompting or isolated AI-generated assets.
• A proactive, autonomous approach to problem-solving, with the confidence to take initiative, anticipate challenges, and independently resolve creative or client issues without waiting for direction.
• Exceptional organization and attention to detail, with the ability to balance competing priorities, identify inconsistencies, maintain brand standards, and deliver high-quality work across multiple projects.
• Assertive, persuasive communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to pitch and sell creative ideas, defend recommendations, navigate difficult conversations, and build alignment among both clients and creative teams.
• Experience leading and mentoring multidisciplinary creatives, providing decisive direction, constructive feedback, and the motivation needed to bring ambitious ideas to life.
• Strong creative and strategic judgment, grounded in branding, storytelling, art direction, design, and audience-centered communication, with an understanding of responsible AI use and the importance of human oversight.
• Experience managing a high volume and variety of creative deliverables across multiple clients, brands, or products in fast-paced agency or in-house environments.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills, along with the adaptability, reliability, and strong internet connection needed to succeed in a remote environment

How we work

Designity is remote, with a structured virtual office environment built for close collaboration, clear communication, and meaningful connection.

You will work within a Creative Circle alongside a Creative Project Manager (CPM) and a multidisciplinary team of creative professionals, supporting approximately 8–9 client accounts.

Your CPM partners with you on project coordination, timelines, priorities, and delivery. As the Creative Director, you lead creative strategy, guide the team, own the creative side of client relationships, and remain accountable for the quality of work from initial brief through final delivery.

This role requires a high level of independence and accountability. You will operate autonomously without a Head of Department managing your day-to-day creative decisions or resolving routine client challenges on your behalf. We expect you to anticipate issues, communicate assertively, make sound decisions, and take ownership of solutions while keeping your CPM and creative team aligned.

What this role offers

• The opportunity to work alongside the top 1% of global creatives and marketers, in a multicultural environment that broadens your perspective and sharpens your craft
• Shape meaningful creative work across different brands, industries, and disciplines
• Collaboration with ambitious clients and multidisciplinary creative talent
• A fully remote environment with structured virtual collaboration
• W-2 role with health insurance and 401k benefits available after 90 days
• Paid time off to rest and recharge
• Professional growth and continued skill development
• A fast-moving, supportive environment that values creative thinking, accountability, and high standards
• Total compensation of $90,000–$110,000 USD based on your qualifications.

We believe great teams are built on shared values:

• Choose Positivity and lift those around you.
• Say It Straight with honesty and respect.
• Raise the Bar by never settling for average.
• Take Ownership of your work and your impact.
• Move with Purpose and make every action count.

Success in this role means

• Delivering original, strategically strong creative work across multiple client accounts, maintaining exceptional quality from concept through final execution.
• Making AI a practical part of creative production by implementing workflows that expand creative possibilities and improve efficiency.
• Building trust and alignment with clients and creatives through persuasive presentations, confident leadership, and clear creative direction.
• Proactively resolving challenges, managing priorities independently, and maintaining strong organization and attention to detail.
• Elevating team performance through effective mentorship, practical AI adoption, and consistently high creative standards.

At Designity, employment decisions are based on business needs, qualifications, and merit.

We’re an Equal Opportunity Employer that values diversity in backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences; it’s what makes our team and our work stronger.
