Role : Creative Director, Embedded Creative Studio

Location : San Francisco / Bay Area

About the role :

We're pairing craft with AI velocity—and we need a Creative Director to lead it.

We're launching an embedded, ai-native creative studio for one of the world's most influential B2B tech brands—a global platform company serving 85% of the Fortune 500. This isn't a traditional agency setup.

You'll be leading a high-output creative studio that operates as a seamless extension of the client's internal global brand team. Your mission : to scale their vision with relentless craft and speed. That means taking hero campaigns, brand R systems, and creative playbooks—and turning them into flawless assets across regions, channels, and formats.

You'll direct a multi-disciplinary team, set the bar for quality, and ensure that every piece of work—whether it's a flagship moment or a localized event—feels unmistakably on-brand. If you're energized by the idea of combining creative excellence with operational rigor, and you thrive when empowering teams to do their best work at scale, we'd love to talk.

What you will be doing :

• Lead and elevate the creative team—while rolling up your sleeves

You'll direct a multi-level team of creatives—developing their skills, sharpening their output, and fostering a culture of craft and excellence. You'll also be hands-on : contributing to concepting, building on ideas, and executing work alongside the team. You'll be coach, conductor, and contributor—a strategic thinker who can elevate the work and deliver it, ensuring the team operates at maximum efficiency and creativity from day one, leveraging the latest GenAI tech stack, while building for a future-state of global studio expansion and scale.

You'll manage, review, and audit all creative work to ensure it meets the client's exacting standards. That means running internal critiques, tightening executions, and being the final eyes on everything before it goes out the door.

Every asset that leaves the studio—whether it's a homepage hero or a regional social post—needs to feel authentically on-brand. You'll ensure that all design collateral is faithful to the client's guidelines, voice, and vision.

You'll work closely with the OLIVER Business Director to ensure the studio runs smoothly, timelines are respected, and the client always feels supported. You're not just managing creative—you're managing the relationship and the experience.

This is a high-volume environment. You'll need to organize and prioritize workloads effectively, especially around tight deadlines, and stay nimble when demands shift or urgency increases.

What you need to be great in this role :

Motivator and Standard-Setter

Proactive Quality Protection

AI-Native Mindset with a Discerning Eye

Capability Builder

Cross-Functional Collaborator
