Come tell stories with us

Designit is a multidisciplinary collective of creatives that craft innovative products, services, and experiences, with expertise in experience, product, visual, motion, industrial, and brand design. We're seeking an enterprise Creative Director—with a strong passion for telling compelling stories and designing experiences with precision and flair—to lead compelling creative output across a range of applications.

Who we’re seeking

We are looking for a creative leader to oversee concepting and production of social content, implement best practices (in design and social), and oversee a team of ten dedicated creatives that service one of Designit’s most strategic enterprise accounts.

This role requires a mindset that goes beyond the creative and into strategic operational models. This includes helping clients establish their creative strategy for social, create digital campaigns, integrate social and digital strategies across the modern marketing ecosystem, and develop marketing and communications strategies for numerous client brands.

The Creative Director will lead the day-to-day concepting and execution of static design, motion graphics, and video executions, while ensuring that brand tone of voice and personality is maintained. Marketing and accessibility standards must be met while pushing the envelope on creative innovation.

We’re looking for a social content expert who knows platforms, best practices, and how to create content that can break through the noise of social media.

Advocating for the development of new tactics and technologies, communicating best practices and learnings across the organization, and collaborating cross-functionally will be essential for success in this role.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable working in deep collaboration with client stakeholders on best strategies for creative processes and content. We are seeking a skilled leader who enjoys developing teams and people while managing a high volume of requests and tight deadlines.
