Creative & Studio Director

As a hyper-growth company at the forefront of the DIY SMB space, were laser-focused on user acquisition through discovery channels, driven by highly creative and data -backed campaigns. Were looking for a Creative & Studio Director to lead our in-house creative engine - a multidisciplinary team of video editors, marketing designers, and producers. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of performance-driven creativity, data fluency, and production excellence. Youll own the development, production, and execution of high-performing creative assets across channels, with a strong focus on discovery platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Meta, and beyond). From concept to delivery, youll oversee a team that ideates, scripts, shoots, edits, and tests creative that not only captures attention but converts. If you're a creative visionary with a knack for operational efficiency and a deep understanding of performance marketing, this is your chance to scale a studio that drives measurable impact.
Key Responsibilities:
* Lead and mentor the Creative Studio team, including video editors, motion designers, producers, and marketing designers.
* Act as a player-coach: personally concept, script, and edit a meaningful share of the studios output - especially at crunch times. You add execution capacity, not just direction and feedback.
* Own the creative roadmap end to end: commit to timelines for strategic initiatives (new formats, creator/UGC programs, new channels) and deliver on them - flagging risks early, not late.
* Manage team performance actively: set clear output targets per team member, manage capacity and workload allocation, and address underperformance promptly through a structured improvement process.
* Keep the studio fully staffed: own hiring for the team and close open roles within company time-to-hire benchmarks.
* Run the full creative pipeline (briefs, in production, delivered) in a single shared system that gives UA, Brand, and leadership full visibility.
* Be a responsive hub for partner teams - fast, reliable turnaround on requests from HR department and others
* Be accountable for delivering creative assets for internal employee events and company-wide design requests - on time and to brand standards.
* Oversee both creative development and production operations, including in-house shoots, post-production workflows, and vendor management.
* Partner with UA, Brand, Product Marketing, and data teams to develop breakthrough performance creatives for acquisition campaigns.
* Manage the full lifecycle of creative assets - from briefing and scripting to production, editing, versioning, and post-launch analysis.
* Build and optimize repeatable processes for creative testing, performance tracking, and rapid iteration.
* Use performance data to drive creative strategy, decision-making, and continuous improvement.
* Foster a culture of creative experimentation and innovation across storytelling formats and platforms.
* Maintain the highest standards for storytelling, production quality, and brand consistency.
* Aim for a high pace and a high performing team that runs creative at scale with 25+ creative deliverables every week.
* Utilize AI and other advanced methods of creation and operations to hit weekly targets.
