Creative Director
Talent Global LLC — Remote
Full-Time (40 hrs/week) | US Time Zones | Long-Term Contract
About the Role
Our client is a US-based performance marketing agency that builds and scales creative content for brands across paid social and digital channels. They are looking for a Creative Director to serve as the internal quality gate for all creative output — both video and graphics — before it reaches the client. This person will work closely with the agency's leadership team, taking ownership of creative review, direction, and strategy across active accounts.
Key Responsibilities
* Review and QA all video and graphic creative assets before client delivery, ensuring quality, brand alignment, and strategic clarity
* Provide clear, actionable creative direction to designers and video editors based on client briefs and performance goals
* Develop creative strategies for new content batches — defining concept, visual direction, messaging angle, and format
* Identify creative weaknesses across active accounts and propose improvements proactively
* Maintain a high creative bar across all output, with strong attention to detail in both visual execution and storytelling
Requirements
* Proven experience as a Creative Director, Senior Art Director, or equivalent role at a marketing agency or performance-focused creative team
* Strong portfolio spanning both video and graphic content — social ads, brand content, or performance creative
* Ability to both review/direct existing work and develop new creative strategies from scratch
* Deep understanding of what makes creative perform on paid social channels (Meta, TikTok, YouTube)
* Experience working with or managing designers and video editors
* Excellent written and verbal English — able to communicate creative feedback clearly and professionally
* Self-directed and highly detail-oriented — comfortable working async with a lean team
* Familiarity with AI creative tools (Midjourney, Runway, or similar) is a plus
Ideal Candidate
This role is for someone who has a natural eye for what's working and what isn't — and can articulate why with precision. They thrive in fast-moving agency environments where standards are high and feedback cycles are tight. They are equally comfortable directing a video edit and reviewing a static ad set, and they understand that creative strategy and execution are inseparable. They don't need to be reminded to raise the bar — they set it.
