Job description

Iverson is a creative and technology partner to ambitious companies. We help businesses identify opportunities and solve their most pressing problems. Thumb-stopping campaigns, brand formation, and world-class interface design are just a few ways we drive impact.

We are looking for a Creative Lead who sets the creative standard for digital work across the agency. This person leads with vision, earns trust through craft, and knows how to shape ideas that move people and move business. You are as comfortable in the weeds of a design review as you are in pitching a campaign concept to a CMO. You make the work better and you make the team better.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the creative vision and quality bar for digital projects across web, brand, campaign, and product, ensuring output is consistently exceptional and strategically grounded.
• Lead creative development from brief through launch: concepting, directing, and reviewing work across brand design, web design, motion, and campaign creative.
• Partner directly with clients at a senior level to understand their business, build creative trust, and champion bold ideas that go beyond the expected.
• Provide clear, inspiring creative direction to designers, writers, and producers, helping teams do the best work of their careers.
• Drive new business by contributing to pitches and proposals with compelling creative thinking and presentation.
• Establish and evolve creative standards, processes, and critique rituals that raise the quality of everything the agency ships.
• Collaborate with strategy and production to make sure creative is feasible, on brief, and built to perform.

What We're Looking For

• Experience: 8+ years in digital creative roles with at least 3 years in a creative director or equivalent leadership capacity. A portfolio of diverse, high-impact digital work spanning brand, web, and campaign is required. Agency background is strongly preferred.
• Creative Vision: A rare combination of strong aesthetic instinct and strategic clarity. You can articulate why something works, and you can make it work better.
• Leadership: You know how to give feedback that elevates work without deflating people. You lead by example and bring out the best in the creatives around you.
• Client Partnership: Experienced and confident presenting at the executive level, building trust over time, and defending creative vision with intelligence and grace.
• Multitasker: Able to hold creative context across multiple accounts and project types simultaneously without losing sight of the details.
• Communication: A natural storyteller who can sell an idea, align a room, and simplify complex thinking for any audience.
• Extreme Ownership Mentality: You feel personally responsible for the quality of everything that goes out the door under Iverson's name, whether you designed it or not.
• AI Forward: Actively integrating AI tools into creative workflows and encouraging the team to do the same.
• Sense of Humor: Self-aware, energizing, and able to keep the culture creative and human even under pressure.
• "That Dog": You are never satisfied with good enough. You push the work, push the team, and push yourself, because great is the only standard worth chasing.

Why Join Iverson?

• Remote-first: Work from anywhere in the United States. Our culture is built to support remote-first collaboration and flexibility. If you are local to OC and want to join us in the office, there are always open desks.
• Flexibility: Enjoy unlimited time off and the autonomy to structure your workday in a way that suits you best.
