Creative Director (Multi‑Brand Consumer Business)

People Architects is partnering with a fast‑growing multi‑brand consumer company to hire a Creative Director to lead its in‑house creative function.

We’re looking for a design‑rooted creative leader who can set the bar for brand excellence, run a high‑velocity creative operation, and leverage AI Agentic AI to scale quality, speed, and output across multiple brands.


What You’ll Do

  • Own and evolve brand guidelines across multiple consumer brands and channels (digital, social, email, paid, web, packaging, print).
  • Lead, coach, and elevate a growing in‑house creative team with clear direction, fast feedback, and strong taste.
  • Run the creative function like an in‑house agency: intake, briefs, prioritization, routing, approvals, timelines, and delivery.
  • Translate brand and marketing strategy into high‑performing creative that drives trust, engagement, and revenue.
  • Direct photo/video production (briefs, shot lists, selects, post‑production).
  • Partner closely with marketing, brand, product, and leadership to maintain standards and move fast.

AI Agentic AI Responsibilities

  • Use generative AI tools for concepting, storyboarding, design exploration, and rapid iteration.
  • Implement Agentic AI workflows to automate repetitive tasks (resizing, versioning, localization, tagging, routing).
  • Build AI‑assisted creative ops systems that increase throughput without sacrificing quality.
  • Train and guide the team on responsible, brand‑safe AI usage.


What You Bring

  • 6 years of progressive creative experience with team leadership.
  • Strong portfolio across D2C, e‑commerce, or consumer brands.
  • Deep fluency in modern design tools (Adobe CC, Figma).
  • familiar with generative AI and familiarity with Agentic AI workflows.
  • Proven ability to build and enforce brand systems across multiple stakeholders.
  • Experience running creative in a fast‑paced, high‑volume environment.
  • Shopify/D2C familiarity is a plus.
