Assistant Creative Director Jobs in New York City Metropolitan Area at New York or Nowhere
New York or Nowhere (NYON) is hiring an Assistant Creative Director — the first senior creative hire in the brand’s history, who will function as our Founder & Creative Director’s right hand.
Many brands are inspired by New York. Few are synonymous with it. NYON has established itself as one of the most visible and preeminent brands to emerge from NYC over the past 10 years. With a flagship retail store in Nolita, collaborations with icons like SNL and the New York Yankees, NYON is a rare combination of commercially successful and culturally resonant.
We're looking for someone with the right combination of taste and talent to help carry NYON into its next chapter. This role is equal parts creative partner and standard-bearer. You'll concept big ideas, keep an eye on the small details, execute everything with precision, and control quality across all touchpoints.
THE ROLE
Your fingerprints will be on everything: campaigns, product launches, content and storytelling, retail experience, collaborations, partnerships, and brand events. You think in concepts first. You're fluent in visual language without being precious about medium. You move fast without cutting corners. You know the difference between what's interesting and what's right… and you make those calls with confidence.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Concept and develop ideas – from brief through execution – for campaigns, product launches, collabs, and brand experiences.
• Serve as a primary creative voice alongside the ECD across all active projects
• Maintain and evolve NYON's creative guidelines and standards
• Direct internal and external creative teams, including photographers, videographers, designers, etc. with vision, poise, and clarity
• Serve as the internal creative filter across all outputs: campaigns, social, retail, partnerships, and experiential
• Provide thoughtful, actionable feedback to design, content, marketing, and external partners
• Contribute to the creative direction of our retail stores
• Lead or co-lead creative development for brand collaborations and partnerships
WHAT YOU BRING
• 5–8 years in a creative role, with at least 2 years at the AD or ACD level
• A portfolio with both conceptual range and executional excellence
• Deep fluency in visual direction, art direction, and brand identity
• Experience directing creative talent and managing multiple projects simultaneously
• A strong point of view – and the self-awareness to know when it's right and when it's not
• Based in NYC or willing to relocate; this role is full-time, on-site
Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience.
