Job description

At Yes&, bold creative is a calling card. And the best ideas start with understanding the audience, the business challenge, the cultural context, and what social can uniquely do.

The Creative Director, Social turns that understanding into ideas that earn attention, create connection, and give brands a distinctive presence.

The Creative Director, Social turns that understanding into ideas that earn attention, create connection, and give brands a distinctive presence. We’re looking for an exceptional conceptor and maker who can dig into a brief, ask the questions that make it better, and find the idea that brings it all together—then lead a team in making it great.

This is a creative leadership role built for social, with the expectation that you’ll stay both on and in the work.

Experience/Skills/Abilities Required:

• 10+ years of experience in creative direction, social creative, or integrated creative leadership within an agency or similarly fast-moving environment.
• A standout portfolio demonstrating bold social ideas, strong conceptual thinking, and beautifully executed work across platforms and formats.
• Exceptional conceptual skills, with a knack for finding the big idea inside a brief and turning business goals, audience insight, messaging, and strategy into distinctive, ownable creative.
• Deep understanding of social platforms, audience behaviors, creator dynamics, cultural context, and content formats, with strong instincts for what feels native without feeling predictable.
• Experience developing social creative platforms, campaigns, and content franchises that can flex across organic, paid, influencer, PR, and integrated programs.
• Strong writing, storytelling, and visual-thinking skills, with the ability to move between copy, scripts, storyboards, creative territories, prototypes, and other ways of bringing an idea to life.
• A maker mindset. You’re comfortable leading and doing—shaping the creative vision while getting into the work when it helps make the idea or execution stronger.
• Strong creative leadership skills, with the ability to inspire designers, writers, video teams, creators, and production partners from first thought through final execution.
• Strong client presence, with the ability to present the thinking behind the work, evolve ideas with senior stakeholders, and bring a compelling point of view to pitches and new business opportunities.
• A collaborative leadership style that brings creative, strategy, social, account, production, paid media, influencer, and PR teams together around one clear idea.

Other Requirements:

• You’re social-native, not social-only. You know what makes an idea work in-feed—and where a strong idea can travel beyond it.
• You’re curious about people, culture, brands, technology, creators, and whatever everyone will be talking about next.
• You know how to protect a big idea while letting it flex across platforms, formats, audiences, and channels.
• You’re comfortable embracing a brief, building on someone else’s thinking, and changing your own mind when the work gets better.
• You’re a generous creative partner with a clear point of view who makes the people and ideas around you stronger.
• You believe rigorous thinking and creative play belong together—and that the best social work can do more than fill a content calendar.

At Yes&, success means creating social work with a reason for being, an idea people can recognize, and enough creative energy to cut through without chasing every trend that passes by.

Bring us the brief, the audience insight, the impossible ask. Let’s find the idea that makes people care.
