Join our team as a Creative Director, Brand & Communications

Orion180 is hiring a Creative Director to lead and elevate our Brand & Communications function, ensuring our brand is expressed with clarity, consistency, and distinction across all channels and key customer and agent touchpoints.

We have recently completed a brand refresh, with a defined manifesto, purpose, and voice already in place. This role is about bringing that foundation to life at a high level: refining, scaling, and translating it into compelling creative and messaging across campaigns and channels.

You will operate as a direct partner to the SVP of Marketing, owning creative direction, campaign development, and production-especially across video and unified marketing efforts. The focus is on raising creative quality, sharpening execution, and building a strong and efficient creative engine that supports both brand and growth.

We are targeting a Director-level hire. Exceptional candidates who are slightly earlier in their career may be considered at the Creative Manager level, with a defined path to Director based on performance. If you bring a balance of creative thinking, strong execution, and sound judgment, we want to hear from you.
