Creative Director, Flow Studio

Why this role exists

Flow Studio sits at the intersection of product and culture. We need a Creative Director who can define how the product shows up in the world, not just through campaigns, but through everything we make.

This role requires a builder mindset. Someone who can create a distinct creative voice, operate at speed, and bring a level of craft that stands out in a crowded AI and creative tools landscape.

What you'll do

  • Define the creative standard for all content-ensuring it is both visually compelling and technically credible


  • Establish a clear point of view on what "great" looks like for VFX-driven product storytelling


  • Push the team beyond expected formats into more distinctive, category-defining work


  • Lead creative direction across campaigns, product marketing, and always-on social content


  • Develop a distinct visual and storytelling language for Flow Studio


  • Translate product features, especially AI-driven capabilities, into compelling, human stories


  • Partner deeply with marketing and product to ensure creative is grounded in real use cases


  • Guide collaboration between:


  • Technical artists / VFX


  • Design and motion


  • Editorial and copy


  • Ensure work feels integrated, not handed off between silos


  • Bring a strong point of view on film, storytelling, and content formats across platforms


  • Build systems that allow us to produce high-quality work at speed
    Continuously push the work to feel modern, relevant, and culturally aware


  • Provide clear creative direction and actionable feedback


  • Mentor across disciplines (design, VFX, storytelling)


  • Build a culture of:


  • curiosity


  • ownership


  • high standards


What great looks like

  • Flow Studio work stands out immediately in a crowded AI and creative tools space


  • Creative feels culturally relevant while staying rooted in the product


  • We show, not tell. The product is visible, understood, and desirable


  • Social content is as considered as campaign work


  • The team delivers high-quality work at speed without losing craft
    We consistently create work people want to watch, not skip


What you bring

  • Strong portfolio across brand, product, and social content


  • Experience in media, entertainment, or film is a strong plus


  • Background in fast-moving, content-driven environments


  • Ability to concept and execute, not just direct


  • High taste level with attention to detail and storytelling craft


  • Understanding of how AI is shaping creative workflows and output


  • Comfort working across formats including film, social, digital, and product storytelling


  • Collaborative mindset with a bias toward making


About the team

We're building a fully integrated marketing and creative team designed for how modern products grow. High taste, high velocity, and a clear focus on impact. We believe the best creative comes from teams that care deeply about the product and move fast enough to keep up with it.
