Creative Director Location: Las Vegas, NV strongly preferred. Remote considered for exceptional candidates willing to travel regularly for projects, team collaboration, and events. Reports to: Director of Sales & Strategy and CEO Compensation: $100K-$150K, depending on experience The Role We're looking for a Creative Director to lead our in-house creative team and shape the visual identity of the brands we partner with. This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit back and art direct from a distance. You'll be hands-on: building systems, running projects, presenting to clients, and pushing the team to produce work that's both beautiful and effective. You'll lead a team of 6-8 across graphic design, digital design, web, photography, and video production. About 60% of your work will be brand partner creative; 40% will be Neato's own marketing. You'll need to move fluidly between strategic client conversations and operational execution-translating brand goals into creative direction, then making sure the work gets out the door on time and on point. What you'll do: • Lead and develop a creative team of 6-8 across design, web, photo, and video • Own creative strategy and execution for brand partners-from concept through delivery • Present work to clients, translate feedback, and bridge the gap between brand strategy and creative specialists • Build and refine creative operations: workflows, project management, component libraries, and design systems in Figma • Run multiple projects simultaneously across different teams without losing quality or momentum • Push the team to adopt modern tools-AI-assisted design, agentic image generation, platforms like Weavy-to increase output without increasing headcount • Collaborate with marketing leadership on Neato's brand presence across web, campaigns, and events • Set and maintain creative standards that balance premium quality with ecommerce velocity What success looks like: • Brand partners receive creative that elevates their presence and drives performance • The team operates efficiently with clear systems, not chaos • Creative output scales without proportional increases in time or resources • Neato's own marketing looks as good as the work we do for clients Who You Are Required: • 3+ years of experience as a Creative Director or equivalent leadership role • Background in design with agency experience-ideally at branding-focused or consumer-focused shops • Proven ability to lead teams across graphic design, digital design, web, photography, and commercial video production (not film-product and brand-focused content) • Strong client-facing skills: you can present work, take feedback, and translate between business objectives and creative execution • Deep Figma proficiency-not just design, but building component libraries, design systems, and leveraging Figma's newer features for scalable workflows • Experience running multiple concurrent projects across different teams • Strong creative strategy chops: you understand how brand positioning translates to visual identity and campaign execution Preferred: • Experience with or genuine curiosity about AI tools for creative production-image generation, automation, workflow optimization • Familiarity with ecommerce or DTC brand creative and the pace it requires • Experience building creative operations infrastructure (not just inheriting it) • Comfort working in a growing company where you'll shape processes rather than follow them You'll thrive here if: • You want to build, not maintain. We're scaling our creative capabilities and need someone excited to create the systems, not just run them. • You're equally comfortable in a client presentation and a project standup. • You believe great creative and operational efficiency aren't mutually exclusive. • You're energized by variety-different brands, different categories, different challenges. • You see AI and modern tooling as an opportunity, not a threat. Compensation & Benefits • Medical, dental, and vision benefits • Equity opportunity once you achieve the Director level • Hybrid work environment, flexible hours, and room to grow • Work with top consumer brands and see direct impact on their Amazon success • Unlimited PTO policy
