Creative Lead - Studio

Some people say “ideas can come from anywhere” but we know some people are just better at ideas than others. We're looking for a real one. An ideas OG.

We're building something unusual: an in-house creative studio for a B2B SaaS brand, producing a wide range of bespoke content under one roof. We need someone to lead it.

We’re looking for someone who’s one part creative director, one part editor-in-chief, one part creative production manager. Think SNL show-runner, not three jobs stitched together. You set the vision, vibe-check everything that goes out the door, and make sure it actually ships. Kind of like our executive chef, except the food is content and ideas are the menu. Lol. Hungry much!?

We have high ambitions for Tracksuit Studio. To build the biggest and most engaged brand and marketing community on the planet: content people look forward to the way they look forward to their Netflix binge. Ambitious? Sure. But who wants to work somewhere with no ambition!?

• A team already assembled and hungry for direction (in-house creator, video editor, writer, social media manager) for you to shape into a newsroom-grade creative engine.
• Real budgets and creative latitude, so you spend your energy on the work, not on convincing people the work is worth doing.
• A direct line to the Head of Brand and genuine authority to set the creative standard across the whole marketing org, not just your direct reports.
• Freedom to build the culture you've always wanted to work in: honest critique, high standards, and ideas flowing like the rivers of Babylon.

• You’ve probably got a diverse creative background, maybe out of alternative media, maybe you ran a branded-content studio inside a media company, or you managed a big-time podcast production. You’ve built teams that look more like a modern newsroom than an old sk00L agency set up.
• Someone who’s made their career out of making things, proactively creating your own opportunities rather than waiting for a brief. Show us.
• Probably a writer's origin, or at least an obsession with language and words. You’ve told a lot of stories, written a lot of taglines, scripts, subject lines, love letters. You’re comfortable being a copy custodian for the brand (not the core writer, more like an editor-in-chief of a newsroom), and you know the power of a great headline and have mourned the death of the em dash.
  
  Thanks AI. #RIP
• Someone who can turn mundane moments into watchable stories, and think conceptually across video, social, and copy without needing to specialise in just one lane.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role as day-to-day creative leader of Tracksuit Studios: setting the creative standard, building a high-performing team, and working with growth, brand, and product to make sure the work lands.

Your crew: an in-house creator, video editor, writer, and social media manager. Plus all future weird and wonderful creative talent you bring in as we scale. Here’s a day in the life:

• Develop concepts, campaigns, and brand platform work across every channel and format.
• Provide creative direction across the full department, your authority extends beyond your direct reports.
• Manage and grow a team of writers, video editors, Tik Tokers, social media managers and other weird, wonderful talent who want to do the best work of their careers.
• Concept and create key pieces yourself to keep your craft-soul alive and stay creatively match fit - you’re a player/coach, not a spectator.
• Work with product, growth, and marketing science to turn briefs into ideas that travel.
• Brief and direct freelancers and production crews during campaign peaks and big brand…
