About this role

Accountabilities

Define, establish, and maintain creative standards for AI-enabled work across multiple formats, channels, and customer projects. Ensure all creative deliverables align with customer objectives, brand strategies, creative briefs, and broader business outcomes.

Provide strategic creative direction, mentorship, and constructive feedback to Creative Directors, Associate Creative Directors, and other team leads. Act as a senior creative representative for enterprise customers, building strong relationships, maintaining trust, and ensuring consistently high-quality creative experiences.

Partner closely with the General Manager and Account Director to support customer retention, account expansion, and long-term business growth. Ensure creative leadership contributes directly to customer satisfaction, successful project delivery, and contract renewal outcomes.

Help standardise the customer experience across the entire journey, from onboarding and creative strategy through production and ongoing delivery. Identify opportunities to leverage AI-powered creative solutions to generate additional value, improve customer outcomes, and expand creative capabilities.

Champion the thoughtful and practical integration of generative AI throughout concept development, creative production, and iterative workflows. Guide creative teams in using AI tools to improve speed, quality, consistency, and scalability without compromising originality or creative craftsmanship.

Collaborate with Automation, Web, and AI specialists to align creative vision with technical capabilities, production tools, and operational workflows. Ensure AI-enabled creative processes support repeatable, efficient, and scalable delivery models that meet enterprise-level requirements.

Develop leadership capabilities across the organisation, increasing team autonomy and reducing reliance on direct senior-level intervention. Support creative leaders in balancing ambitious creative concepts with operational constraints, delivery expectations, and customer priorities.

Foster a culture of accountability, curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement across creative teams. Define and promote a shared vision of creative excellence in an AI-enabled environment.

Encourage inclusive leadership, psychological safety, and adaptability during periods of organisational and technological change. Reinforce consistent creative standards, review processes, and delivery expectations across teams.

Connect creative strategy with studio-level priorities, operational planning, and performance objectives.

Requirements

At least 15 years of professional experience leading creative teams and managing large-scale creative projects. Proven experience operating at Group Creative Director, Executive Creative Director, or an equivalent senior creative leadership level.

Strong background in enterprise-level creative delivery across multiple channels, formats, and disciplines. Extensive understanding of modern creative workflows and the practical application of generative AI from initial concept development through final production.

Advanced proficiency in generative AI tools and workflows, with the ability to integrate them strategically into creative leadership and production processes. Familiarity with AI platforms such as Krea, Flora, Weavy, Nano Banana, Sora, or comparable generative AI solutions.

A strong creative portfolio demonstrating strategic vision, storytelling capabilities, artistic direction, and creative systems thinking. Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior decision-makers and communicate creative vision effectively.

Previous experience working directly with enterprise customers, senior client stakeholders, and executive leadership. Strong leadership and mentoring abilities, with experience developing creative talent, empowering management teams, and establishing consistent standards across large organisations.

Ability to balance creative ambition with commercial objectives, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction. A forward-thinking mindset and genuine enthusiasm for exploring how AI can enhance human creativity and transform creative production.

Comfortable leading globally distributed teams and collaborating across different cultures, disciplines, and time zones. Adaptability, resilience, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities and technologies evolve continuously.

Benefits

Fully remote working environment, with the flexibility to work from anywhere. Opportunity to collaborate with a globally distributed team representing more than 60 nationalities and multiple creative disciplines.

High-trust, performance-driven culture that encourages direct feedback, continuous learning, and collaborative problem-solving. Significant leadership responsibility and the opportunity to shape creative strategy, operating models, and AI-powered innovation.

Exposure to leading international brands and enterprise-level creative projects. Professional development opportunities through mentorship, increased responsibility, and continuous career growth.

Opportunity to influence the evolution of the global creative industry through the integration of generative AI and emerging technologies. Inclusive and diverse working environment that values different perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences.

Autonomy and flexibility within an asynchronous, remote-first organisation. Opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a growing business that combines creative excellence, technology, and global collaboration.
