An ambitious, fast-scaling growth marketing agency is hiring an Associate Creative Director to help define and lead its creative output at a pivotal stage of growth.

This is a step-up role with a clear path to Creative Director. You’ll set the standard for the work, shape the ideas, and play a central role in building a creative offering that sits at the intersection of brand and performance.

The Role

You’ll act as the creative lead across key accounts and campaigns—owning everything from concept to execution.

  • Lead concepting for major campaigns and pitches
  • Develop ideas that work across paid, social, digital, video, OOH and beyond
  • Partner closely with strategists to turn insight into strong creative territories
  • Review and elevate work across copy, design, motion and production
  • Get hands-on when needed—this isn’t a purely directional role

You’ll also play a key role in shaping how the agency defines great creative as it continues to scale.

  • Set the bar for creative quality across all output
  • Push ideas further—knowing when to refine vs rethink entirely
  • Build a strong feedback culture that improves work quickly and directly
  • Represent the agency’s creative POV in pitches and client conversations

People & Team

  • Mentor and develop creatives across disciplines
  • Lead reviews, critiques and development sessions
  • Support hiring and help shape the future creative team

Client & Commercial Impact

  • Present work confidently to senior stakeholders (Marketing Director / CMO level)
  • Play a key role in new business—leading creative in pitches
  • Partner with account leads to grow client relationships through stronger work

What They’re Looking For

  • 5+ years in creative roles within integrated, digital or social agencies
  • A strong portfolio showing conceptual thinking across channels
  • Experience working across both brand and performance-led creative
  • A natural leader who elevates the work and the people around them
  • Confident presenter, comfortable selling ideas in the room
  • Culturally aware—understands what cuts through today and why
  • Willing to stay hands-on when it matters

Nice to Have

  • Experience in performance / direct response creative
  • Exposure to AI tools in creative production
  • Experience building brand systems, not just campaigns
  • Awards or industry recognition

Why This Role

  • Clear progression to Creative Director
  • High-growth agency with real momentum
  • Work that blends creativity with measurable impact
  • Direct access to founders and senior leadership
  • Opportunity to shape the creative direction of the business
