We are hiring a Creative Director, Design to lead visual storytelling for one of the most consequential brands in American life — the place millions turn when they’re navigating the biggest financial and emotional decision they’ll ever make.

The Brand Bureau, our in-house brand and creative organization, has been operating for years with a strong, proud culture built on deeply understanding our audiences and producing creative that moves the business. The VP, Brand and Creative leads the business; you’ll lead the creative evolution alongside our Creative Director for Copy. The team you’re inheriting is talented and ready. They need inspiration, coaching, and organization to make the leap from strong work to category-defining work.

You’re a working creative leader — still in the work, still in the craft, still the person in the room people look at when the idea needs to get sharper.

You’ll set the creative vision for the brand’s visual expression and the team’s craft trajectory — the kind of vision the team can see, believe in, and build toward. You’ll lead the design and art direction across 15+ integrated campaigns a year, spanning consumer (B2C) and client (B2B) audiences across paid, owned, and earned channels. You’ll be a senior creative voice on our flagship celebrity platform with Reba McEntire;

leading the visual craft across the surfaces our team owns and shaping its evolution as the platform matures. And you’ll set the visual standard for the everyday work that compounds into a brand the category can’t ignore.

The brand has earned the right to swing big. Nearly Home with Reba McEntire became an Effie Finalist in its first year. Mission Zero gave the brand a purpose platform with real cultural weight. The work is landing. The category is paying attention. And the team is hungry to do more.

In the last twelve months we’ve expanded The Bureau’s remit to own both consumer and client brand under one creative roof. We split our brand strategy function into dedicated Consumer and Client roles, brought in a Creative Director, Copy from YETI, and added a Senior Manager, Brand Operations with dedicated Program Managers to match the scale and complexity of the work.

The Austin design and copy bench has grown alongside teammates who’ve shaped this brand for 10+ years — institutional knowledge meeting fresh perspective.

The strategy bench is built. The platforms are working. The operating system is evolving. We need a creative leader ready to take the visual craft of this brand somewhere it hasn’t been yet.

For the Work:
Lead design and art direction across 15+ integrated campaigns a year — consumer brand, client brand, product marketing, CRM, social, and corporate communication. Serve as a senior creative voice, leading the visual craft across the surfaces our team owns. Champion big idea platforms that earn cultural attention and move the business. Hold a high bar on briefs, production, and the visual language that carries the brand across every touchpoint.

For the Team:
Lead a team that’s talented and proud of its work — and ready for a leader who inspires, listens, and acts on what they hear. Give feedback that makes the work better and the maker stronger. Invest in structured development, not just mentorship in the margins. Cast people to briefs that match their strengths and stretch their range. Earn trust through consistency, candor, and follow-through.
