About the Role

We’re looking for an Associate Creative Director who sits at the intersection of brand, creative, and e-commerce — a strategic thinker who’s equally comfortable designing, directing, writing, and building.
You’ll help lead creative development for our internal brands, shape launch campaigns for new creator-led products, and work closely with our design, marketing, and operations teams to bring ideas to life across digital touchpoints.
This is a hands-on creative leadership role that reports directly to the Creative Director / Head of Brand. You’ll work collaboratively within a small, fast-moving team and play a key role in translating brand vision into execution across all channels.

Responsibilities

Creative Direction, Brand Development & Design

• Partner with the Creative Director to concept and execute creative across internal brands (FluffCo, Jiggies) and creator-incubated ventures (Notorious Cookware).
• Oversee art direction, photography, design systems, and brand identity extensions.
• Develop campaign concepts for paid, organic, retail, and email.
• Collaborate with video editors, designers, and copywriters to ensure consistent creative quality and voice.
• Create and refine design systems and layouts for web, landing pages, and product pages.
• Make design changes and updates to websites directly in Figma, ensuring consistency with brand guidelines and UX best practices.
• Collaborate with developers to implement design updates accurately and efficiently
• Support packaging, print, and digital design needs as they arise across brands and ventures.



Organic Content & Marketing Strategy

• Work closely with brand marketing and social teams to shape organic content strategy across social, email, and owned channels.
• Collaborate with marketing teams to develop email and social content plans aligned with campaign objectives.
• Translate brand narratives into content frameworks that drive engagement, storytelling, and growth.
• Support creative execution for brand campaigns, partnerships, and special projects.

A Strong Desire to Learn

You don’t need to come in with deep e-commerce or technical operations experience — but you should have a genuine interest in learning how modern DTC brands are built, launched, and scaled.

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to learn:

• How Shopify storefronts are structured, merchandised, and optimized
• How conversion, UX, and analytics influence creative decisions
• How Klaviyo and email marketing systems integrate with brand storytelling
• How e-commerce launches and cross-functional workflows come together behind the scenes

We’re looking for someone curious, proactive, and excited to grow into the e-commerce side of creative leadership as the team scales.

You’re Right for This Role If You:

• Are equal parts strategist, designer, and operator — comfortable jumping between creative direction and hands-on execution.
• Have 2–5 years of experience across both creative agency and brand environments.
• Are fluent in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects preferred).
• Can concept and direct photo/video shoots with a refined sense of aesthetics and storytelling.
• Understand social platforms, organic content strategy, and what makes brands grow online
• Are a self-starter who thrives in a small, fast-moving startup environment and is comfortable wearing multiple hats.
• Communicate clearly, think collaboratively, and take ownership from ideation through launch.
• Are excited to learn new tools, systems, and workflows — especially around e-commerce, UX, and DTC marketing.

Tools & Platforms

Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Shopify, Klaviyo, Notion, Slack.
(Experience with Shopify/Klaviyo not required — but motivation to learn is.)

Compensation

Competitive salary commensurate with experience, with growth potential as the creative function scales across new brands and ventures.
