About Us

Highmark started in 2003 with a bit of friendly competition. While snowmobiling in Wyoming, founders Jim Moras and Terry Gaulrapp challenged each other to leave the highest track on the mountain, a "high mark." That drive to push higher is still how we work today.

The Role

As our first Creative Director, you’ll set one brand vision across all six Highmark companies and lead the marketing team that brings it to life. You’ll be our idea factory and our hands‑on maker: pitching big ideas, planning them well ahead of the calendar and seeing them through to launch. It's a brand-new role you’ll shape, reporting to our VP of Sales & Marketing and partnering closely with sales.

What You’ll Do

• Set the vision: unite our companies under one brand while giving each its own strategy and voice.
• Be our idea factory: take ideas from concept to launch, planned by season with shared themes across channels.
• Build the team: lead the team, delegate well, design hands‑on when needed and help hire our next social role.
• Own our social presence: guide strategy across 20+ accounts, showing our people, not just our projects.
• Keep creative close: bring more creative in‑house and direct agencies on websites and paid advertising.
• Grow referrals: reconnect with past customers and work alongside sales at events and in the community.
• Measure what works: set output goals, then targets; track leads in HubSpot, manage budget, report results.

Requirements

• 7+ years in creative, brand or marketing roles, including 3+ years leading a team
• A strong graphic design background and expert‑level Adobe Creative Cloud skills
• A portfolio of launched work, not just concepts, including social content and the results it drove
• A planner who executes: you set clear expectations, build the plan and follow through
• Proven ability to delegate and keep quality high, and to roll up your sleeves on a small in‑house team
• An energetic relationship‑builder who's at ease working a room
• HubSpot or similar CRM experience; comfortable on jobsites with a valid driver’s license
• A plus: multi‑brand experience. Construction experience is not required; creative range matters more.
