Job description

connects top LATAM professionals with leading U.S. companies through remote talent solutions. Our mission is to make LATAM the world's premier hub for growth and excellence.

A U.S.-based retention marketing agency and Klaviyo Platinum Partner serving DTC e-commerce brands, specializing in email and SMS strategy, lifecycle automation, and loyalty programs. The agency operates as a full-service, remote-first partner for high-growth, household-name consumer brands, leveraging AI-driven workflows to compound revenue month over month.

We are looking for a Creative Director to serve as the most senior creative in the agency, operating as a player-coach who leads the copywriting and design departments as one unified team while writing copy for a focused set of two to three of their own accounts. You will own the creative quality bar on every email that ships, run the feedback loops that raise team performance, and manage roughly six creatives across both disciplines. Your center of gravity is copy, conversion thinking, and leadership, backed by strong design judgment developed in partnership with a senior design lead who anchors day-to-day design craft. You will also shape how the creative team uses AI across the workflow, with real input into hiring, systems, and standards as the agency scales.

Experience leading creatives in an agency setting, ideally in email, retention, or DTC e-commerce.
