About the Role

Ninja One is building something rare… A brand that actually earns attention in one of the noisiest markets in tech. We need a Creative Director who gets that, and wants to own it. This isn't a caretaker role. We’re a hyper-growth company with 3,000+ employees, a global footprint, and creative and financial ambitions that outpace most companies our size. We need a Creative Director who understands the full arc from brand strategy to execution, and knows how to turn a talented team into a high-output creative engine without burning anyone out.

We have a great creative team who deserves the right leaders to support them in creating the best work of their careers. You'll own every touchpoint Ninja One puts into the world: brand identity, website, paid media, OOH, event booths, product marketing, advertising, CTV, and beyond.

We're looking for someone who's done this before. Scaled a brand, grown a team, and ramped creative output to keep pace with a hyper-scaling business that isn't slowing down. If you've navigated that kind of growth and came out with a stronger brand and the team intact, we want to talk.

The Ninja One culture is just different. Not just words on a wall. A top priority for this role is to lead by example and foster a team and work culture that people want to be a part of.

Reports to the Sr. Director of Brand + Design.

  Owning what Ninja One looks like, sounds like, and stands for. Globally, consistently, at scale.

  Owning the identity system, evolving it as we grow, and keeping it consistent across an entire organization that's moving fast.
• Advertising + campaigns:
  You'll partner closely with the integrated media team and own creative strategy and execution. Broadcast TV and CTV spots and cutdowns. A campaign mindset on everything, not just the big launches.

  Designing and evolving the Ninja One website, partnering with UX/UI and Analytics to optimize the user journey from first touch to demo, and using data to back it all up.
• Cross-functional creative partnership:
  Running a high-volume Canva production engine without letting quality slip or burning people out.
