Senior Creative Director

The Creative Director will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure products or services adhere to the company’s brand and overall vision. The successful candidate will be responsible for the company’s look and feel by developing original visuals and generating compelling creative materials (graphics, blogs, product manuals, pitch decks, social posts, product presentations, videos, podcasts, etc.).
