Ready to be part of something extraordinary? At Cooper’s Hawk, connection is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re looking for passionate people to join us. When you become part of our team, you step into a collaborative, supportive culture built on Uncompromising Hospitality, where standards and genuine care come together to create something truly unforgettable. As we continue our exciting journey, you’ll help us deliver unforgettable experiences to our Wine Club Members and the entire Cooper’s Hawk community.

Join us, and let’s turn moments into lasting memories.

Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurants is seeking a visionary and experienced Senior Creative Director to lead our creative team and act as the guardian of our brand’s identity. As the most senior creative leader, you will set the “North Star” for all visual and conceptual output, ensuring our brand remains culturally relevant, authentic, and inspiring across all consumer touchpoints—from digital and social to experiential and retail.

This role is designed for a hands‑on creative leader who leads from the front, thrives in momentum, and gets energy from building, making, and developing great work. You will set the bar creatively, inspire teams by example, and ensure Cooper’s Hawk continues to feel distinctive, cohesive, and emotionally resonant as it grows.
