Job summary

Dollar Shave Club is seeking a Sr. Portfolio Director, Creative & Design to lead all brand creative across the DSC portfolio. You will own how both brands show up to consumers: the concepts, the voice, the design language, the packaging, and the standard.

You will lead two creative teams and the Brand Voice function with Creative Directors reporting to you, and report to the Chief Brand & Innovation Officer. This is a lead-through-others role that remains maker-focused in concepting.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of creative experience, including 3+ years leading creative leaders.
• Portfolio shows range across brands and voices, not one signature style.
• Experience leading creative for more than one brand or audience simultaneously.
• Deep concepting credibility; you still generate ideas, not only judge them.
• Ownership of brand voice and design systems across channels.
• Hands-on packaging and retail shelf design experience, including portfolio architecture.
• Fluency with AI-enabled creative tools and evaluating where they help or flatten the work.

Responsibilities

• Set and drive strategic creative direction across both brands — the ideas, the standard, and the through-line from brand strategy to executed work.
• Lead, coach, and grow the creative organization: Creative Directors, Associate Creative Directors, designers, copy, and social content across both brands.
• Protect each brand’s distinctiveness and maintain separate voice and design language.
• Own brand voice consistency across channels — paid, owned, earned, retail, packaging, and site.
• Lean into concept and ideation personally on moments that matter: platform work, launches, and tentpole campaigns.
• Keep a pulse on culture/competitive trends in beauty and grooming for DSC and Truly.
• Define packaging portfolio strategy and design across portfolios — architecture, shelf impact, and finish quality.
• Define how products come to life across channels and create design toolkits for channels.
• Identify synergy behind the scenes — shared capability and tooling without creating sameness.
• Partner with Brand Management on briefs to shape strategy early.
• Set the bar for creative quality and maintain team autonomy.
• Build the operating rhythm for creative reviews.
• Champion the AI-native creative stack to expand production and testing.
• Manage creative resourcing, prioritization, and contractor relationships.
• Represent creative to executive team and Board.
