We're looking for a Creative Director to make KAST a cult brand.

You'll own our Instagram and TikTok creative direction, shaping how millions of people discover and experience KAST. This is a high-ownership role for someone who combines exceptional creative instincts with a deep understanding of social platforms, culture, and storytelling.

Working closely with Brand, Growth, Product, and Community teams, you'll turn KAST's mission into content that is distinctive, aspirational, and culturally relevant-not just trend-driven.

  • Lead creative concepts for short-form video, creator content, product launches, and brand storytelling
  • Build and manage a network of creators, videographers, editors, and creative partners
  • Direct creative production and maintain a high bar for quality across all content
  • Partner cross-functionally to turn product launches, trends, and community moments into compelling social content
  • Use performance insights to continuously improve creative output while maintaining a premium brand


What You'll Bring
  • 8+ years of experience in creative direction, social, brand, or content for consumer, lifestyle, fashion, media, or technology brands (fintech/crypto are nice to have)
  • Proven success building or scaling Instagram and TikTok for a consumer-facing brand
  • Outstanding portfolio of social-first creative work, especially short-form video
  • Deep understanding of social platforms, creator culture, and platform-native storytelling
  • Strong creative taste with the ability to balance brand consistency and experimentation
  • Experience leading creative production and collaborating across design, marketing, and product teams
  • Excellent communication skills and a high-ownership mindset in fast-paced environments
