OverviewWe're currently looking for a VP, Creative Director to lead our 14-person Art Direction, Design, Copy, Content and Organic Social team. In this role, you'll shape the creative vision for Brooklinen across every customer touchpoint - building culturally relevant, socially native creative that drives both brand love and business impact.
This role is perfect for someone who combines exceptional creative taste with a modern, social-first mindset and a deep understanding of performance-driven storytelling. You know how to build brands that people want to engage with, share, and live with - and you thrive leading teams to create bold, differentiated work that moves fast and pushes culture forward.

What You'll Do- Build on and evolve Brooklinen's creative platform and brand expression in close partnership with the CMO - ensuring the brand remains culturally relevant, creatively differentiated, and commercially impactful.

- Champion a social-first creative approach, developing ideas designed to travel fluidly across TikTok, Instagram, Paid/Organic Social, Influencer, CTV, Email, Retail, and IRL experiences - not simply adapting traditional campaigns into social formats.
- Drive innovative creative development from concept through execution, ensuring ideas are strategically and consumer grounded, culturally resonant, visually compelling, and performance-minded.
- Push Brooklinen's storytelling and content ecosystem forward through AI, emerging formats, creators, partnerships, trends, and platform behaviors - with a strong understanding of how consumers engage with brands today.
- Lead the development of breakthrough campaigns and social-native storytelling that connect Brand to Product and increase product consideration, engagement, and brand affinity.
- Partner closely with Brand Marketing, Growth, Retention, Merchandising, Product Design, and E-commerce teams to ensure creative is aligned to both business priorities and customer insights.
- Lead and manage Ecommerce photography and creative experience on site.
- Work closely with the Director of Brand Operations to prioritize initiatives, manage workflows, and optimize team resourcing in a fast-moving environment.
- Build a culture of creative experimentation and learning - leveraging testing, audience insights, platform analytics, and performance data to continuously improve creative effectiveness.
- Ensure consistency and evolution of Brooklinen's visual identity, voice, and tone across all customer touchpoints while continuing to push the brand into new and unexpected territory.
- Stay deeply connected to trends across interiors, fashion, design, media, technology, social platforms, and culture at large - bringing fresh perspective and inspiration into the organization.
- Actively mentor and develop creative talent, fostering growth, curiosity, collaboration, and strong creative standards across the team.
We're Looking For- 14+ years of experience in Creative Direction, Brand Design, Content, Video, and Campaign Development across digital, social, and physical experiences.

- A strong social-first creative sensibility and deep understanding of how brands build relevance and engagement in today's media landscape.
- Proven experience developing culturally resonant campaigns, creator-led content, and innovative storytelling that drive both brand and performance outcomes.
- Strong understanding of creative effectiveness, performance metrics, testing, and optimization - with the ability to balance brand-building with business impact.
- A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional taste, original thinking, and the ability to evolve brands in modern, differentiated ways.
- Experience leading and developing high-performing creative teams with a collaborative, inspiring, and low-ego leadership style.
- A progressive, forward-thinking approach to creative development - someone who embraces experimentation, moves quickly, and isn't afraid to challenge convention.
- Exceptional cross-functional partnership skills and a solutions-oriented mindset; comfortable navigating ambiguity and building new processes when needed.
- Passion for interiors, design, home, fashion, culture, and the evolving intersection of lifestyle and commerce.
