POSTED ON 1/6/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/4/2026

We’re looking for a powerhouse Creative Director to lead the full spectrum of content creation and creative direction for a fast-growing, women-led athletic apparel brand. This role is for someone with sharp leadership instincts, deep experience in product marketing (ideally apparel or CPG), and a bold creative voice that can guide, inspire, and execute at the highest level. You’ll own creative planning for the year, oversee campaign execution, and ensure every asset - from photoshoots to social content - is aligned with the brand’s mission.


Responsibilities

Creative Direction & Strategy

  • Own the annual creative vision and content roadmap for all brand campaigns and product launches (new launches every 4-6 weeks)
  • Conceptualize, plan, and oversee creative direction across photography, videography, graphic design, and campaign storytelling
  • Maintain a cohesive brand narrative across all channels, ensuring creative work reflects company values and vision

Team & Project Management

  • Lead and grow the internal and external creative teams — including eComm creatives, videographers, designers, and editors
  • Delegate responsibilities, maintain clear timelines, and manage production schedules (photoshoots, editorial calendars, asset deliveries)
  • Foster a vibrant, inclusive, and high-performing creative culture
  • Manage freelance vendor relationships and find best-in-class talent when needed

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate with operations, product, and marketing to align creative with go-to-market strategy and launch timelines
  • Ensure all assets are on-brand and optimized for their channel (eComm, paid, organic, influencer, print, etc.)
  • Partner with the marketing team to build campaigns that blend brand storytelling with product performance

Execution & Oversight

  • Manage creative budgets, timelines, and approvals
  • Oversee quality control on final assets to ensure they meet aesthetic and strategic goals
  • Own asset management, keeping all creative work organized and accessible


Background

  • 5 years of experience in creative leadership roles, preferably within apparel, wellness, or lifestyle CPG
  • Experience marketing physical products and leading multi-disciplinary creative teams
  • Strong understanding of lighting, photography, and video - able to communicate with production teams fluently
  • Obsessed with social media and trends, with a pulse on what’s performing across platforms
  • Comfortable leading meetings, making decisions, and providing feedback with clarity and care
  • Highly organized and efficient
  • Creative and strategic - you think in campaigns, not just content
  • Passionate about empowering women through intentional design and storytelling


Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary: $100-125k
  • Fully covered health insurance
  • Unlimited PTO (we trust you to get the job done)
  • Paid maternity leave
