Reports to: VP of Marketing or CMO
We are seeking a Design Director to serve as the creative North Star and operational backbone of our design team. This is a high-impact role for a leader who is as passionate about mentorship and process as they are about world-class visual aesthetics.
You will be responsible for ensuring a unified "look and feel" across all brand touchpoints, co-owning our Brand Guidelines, and optimizing the systems, specifically ClickUp and our DAM, that empower our designers to do their best work.
Core Responsibilities1. Creative Leadership & Brand Stewardship (75%)
- Team Mentorship: Lead, coach, and inspire a team of designers. Conduct regular creative reviews and 1:1s to elevate the craft and career growth of the team.

- Operational Excellence: Own and organize the DAM (Digital Asset Management) system to ensure assets are accessible, tagged correctly, and up-to-date.
- Workflow Optimization: Monitor and refine our ClickUp environment. While you aren’t a dedicated Project Manager, you will help design and implement the workflows that keep the team efficient and on deadline.
