Associate Creative Director

Current Global is looking for an Associate Creative Director who lives at the intersection of culture and creativity. This is a role for someone who knows how to earn attention rather than buy it, creating ideas that travel organically without relying on massive media budgets.

• Lead the development of earned-first creative ideas and big platforms.
• Translate sharp insights and strategy into compelling creative concepts.
• Dream up bold, culturally relevant ideas that flow across social platforms and media channels fluidly.
• Work collaboratively with strategy, media, and client experience teams to build breakthrough campaigns.
• Help drive new business efforts, from the initial ideation and narrative crafting to the live pitch.
• Mentor junior creatives and help shape a collaborative, high-performing team.
• Stay fluent in the feed and remain a student of culture so you can bring fresh, relevant thinking to the work.

• 5+ years of experience in creative roles managing projects and teams across advertising, digital, social media, publishing, or PR.
• A portfolio packed with work that actually earns attention and sparks real conversations.
• Exceptional writing skills across formats and platforms.
• Experience creating integrated campaigns that blend social, influencer, PR, and experiential.
• A team-first mindset, entrepreneurial energy, and a genuine love for great ideas.
• Confidence in the room and the ability to present, persuade, and inspire.
• A commitment to mentorship, inclusivity, and constantly pushing the work forward.
