Creative Director

7+ years experience. 4 days per week. Fully remote role

About Us

We are a creative agency that specialises in brand storytelling, behaviour change and community engagement. With deep experience working alongside government, not-for-profits, and community organisations, we craft campaigns that inspire action and build lasting connections. Our work spans strategy, concept, design, content, video, and animation—always underpinned by insight and creativity. We're a close-knit team who are passionate about making a positive impact, and our team share our drive to create meaningful, purposeful work.

We're looking for a Creative Director who thrives at the intersection of strategy and creativity. In this role, you'll lead the creative vision across campaigns that inspire real-world change—while also being hands-on in shaping ideas through, storytelling, design, copy, and production.

You'll guide and mentor a talented team of designers, animators, producers and collaborators, directing projects from the first spark of an idea through to polished delivery.

You'll pitch, present, and nurture client relationships with confidence, bringing concepts to life in ways that connect with audiences and achieve impact. A natural storyteller, you'll balance big-picture thinking with practical execution—writing, presenting, mentoring, and directing with energy and purpose. This is a role for someone who is both visionary and grounded, who can translate insights into bold creative work, and who is ready to lead ideas that matter.

This role comes with some outstanding benefits — it's a four-day-a-week, fully remote role, with occasional travel required for production. If you're equal parts thinker and maker, and know how to turn insights into ideas, we'd love to hear from you.
