We’re looking for a Creative Director to join Recraft’s in-house creative team and lead the development of story-driven ideas that shape how Recraft is seen and felt around the world. This role combines creative leadership with hands-on collaboration — working closely with our art directors, motion designers, writers, as well as marketing and product — to craft campaigns that are strategically sharp and creatively distinctive.

Recraft is a fast-moving design-led startup, and we’re looking for someone who thrives in an environment where ideas evolve quickly and creative work has real impact.

‍

• Develop and lead standout concepts for product launches, brand campaigns, and social-first storytelling
• Collaborate with our in-house team of art directors, copywriters, and motion designers to bring ideas to life
• Source, vet, and manage external creative partners when needed to scale the creative output
• Partner closely with product and marketing teams to align creative with business goals and audience insights
• Build and evolve content strategies across social, special projects, and other brand platforms
• Champion creative experimentation and push boundaries using AI-powered design tools
• Grow awareness and affinity for Recraft in the design and creator community
• Ensure a high standard of creative quality and consistency across all brand touchpoints
• Represent Recraft at industry events, both behind the scenes and onstage when needed

‍

• Have 6+ years of experience in a creative leadership role — either at a creative agency or in-house at a product, tech, or design-led company (start-up experience a plus)
• Are comfortable turning insights into big ideas — and guiding them from concept through execution
• Know how to grow and shape a brand through culturally relevant content and campaigns
• Are deeply connected to the design industry — whether that’s through community involvement, industry organizations, or speaking engagements
• Have a sharp eye for visual trends, storytelling, and internet culture
• Are familiar with creative tech and AI tools — or curious and eager to explore their potential
• Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative start-up environment with a high degree of ownership
• Enjoy working cross-functionally with marketing, product, and creative partners

‍

• Competitive salary.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
• A collaborative and user-focused work environment.
• The chance to shape the future of AI-powered creativity through research.
• Exciting projects where your insights will directly impact product development.
