We’re looking for a Creative Director with the instincts of a Copywriter and the reflexes of a social creator. Someone who can see the big idea and instantly translate it into thumb-stopping content, short-form scripts, copy, formats, and social campaigns that move fast.

As the CD, you'll collaborate with designers, writers, editors, and producers to imagine, test, and launch new formats that capture attention and inspire others for AI products. You'll bring a well of ideas, deep cultural intuition, humor, and the creative instincts that drive standout social performance. 

You will be the creative lead and final approver across campaigns and social executions — ensuring the work is bold, culturally relevant, native to platform, and built for speed. This is a high-velocity role where ideas move from concept → copy → content quickly, and you’ll be expected to roll up your sleeves, create, experiment, collaborate, and ship work often.

Who You Are

• A fast-paced,  CD- creative leader who thrives in quick-turn environments

• A social-native thinker who knows how ideas land on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X & emerging platforms

• Deep understanding of social media culture, trends, and what drives engagement

• A strong Copywriter at heart — concepting, scripting, and writing social-first copy

• Able to take a big idea and easily break it into formats, hooks & content pieces

• A taste-forward thinker with strong cultural instincts, humor & timing

• Comfortable leading and also making — not just directing from afar

• Motivated by visible work that drives brand relevance and performance

• Willing to flex when needed — including occasional late nights/weekends

What You'll Do

• Own creative approval for concepts, scripts, visuals, edits & social content

• Drive quick-turn creative output — from idea to execution to live content

• Lead development of social-first campaigns, content series, and storytelling frameworks

• Prolifically generate ideas across channels with clarity and creative rigor

• Write copy & scripts that land with personality and platform fluency

• Collaborate closely with designers, editors, writers, & producers

• Prototype fast — drafts, mockups, scripts, visuals, rough cuts when needed

• Spot trends early and turn them into original, brand-right executions

• Set the creative bar and define visual & written language across social

• Operate with speed — launching, testing, iterating & improving constantly

Essential

• 10+ years in creative roles (agency, brand, or studio)

• Portfolio that demonstrates concept → social content execution at a high level

• Experience leading a team of designers and copywriters on concepting

• Proven ability to move quickly, meet fast deadlines, and manage high-volume creative flow

• Exceptional writing, concepting, and storytelling skills for social platforms

• Strong grasp of social culture, trends, pacing, and engagement drivers

• Hands-on creator mindset — comfortable making content yourself

Preferred

• Experience with viral content, high-impact social moments, or breakout campaigns

• Experience leading multidisciplinary creative teams

• Tech, entertainment, or culturally relevant brand experience

• Ability to manage shifting priorities with urgency and clarity

Bonus Points

• Portfolio includes social formats, campaigns, or concept experiments

• Experience launching successful content series or social storytelling frameworks

• Creative side projects or personal content work

• Strong comedic timing, cultural fluency & an intuitive feel for what lands

• You have an interest in AI

• Thrives in ambiguity and loves fast creative cycles
