Creative Director

Wells Street Growth
Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 4/15/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/14/2026

Wells Street Growth is helping a client add a Creative Director to their team. Our client is building a software product designed to bring the best restaurant experiences in to Gen Z in a way that makes sense for them.


This person will have the opportunity to build their creative foundation from the ground up — visual identity, tone of voice, brand guidelines, and the aesthetic standards everything is measured against

Roll up your sleeves — in the early days you'll be designing, writing, and art-directing yourself as much as delegating

Shape how the brand shows up across website, product, social, sales collateral, and events — with limited resources but zero compromise on quality

Hire and manage a lean creative team and freelance network as we scale

Be a founding voice in how they tell their story — to customers, investors, and the industry


What we're looking for

  • 7 years in a creative role, with experience building or significantly shaping a brand — startup or agency background welcome
  • A portfolio with a clear luxury sensibility — you know what premium looks and feels like, and you can execute it on a budget
  • Thrives with ambiguity and ownership — you don't need a brief handed to you, you write it
  • Genuine passion for food, hospitality, or the culture around fine dining
