Creative Director

Wasserman operates at the epicenter of sports, music and entertainment, serving talent, brands and properties on a global scale. Our brands and properties division works with iconic brands and rights holders, supporting business growth through all marketing disciplines. We're a trusted partner to every major league, team and venue, building meaningful connections between brands, properties and fans.

We're looking for a Creative Director who thrives equally when leading high-profile client relationships or working on new business pitches. You love shaping the future of brands across all channels, social platforms, branded content, and beyond.

Based in Sydney, this role requires someone who has a deep understanding of the latest trends happening on social, is fluent in creator/influencer culture, and also knows how to manage teams, and deepen client relationships through great work.

Why You'll Love it Here

You'll join a team that's building something special — a bold, modern creative agency within Wasserman that blends culture, community, and commerce. We move fast, care deeply, and believe in big swings. You'll have the support of a talented team, the runway to grow, and the freedom to bring your point of view to every conversation.

What You'll Do

You'll be responsible for setting the creative vision, leading integrated campaign development, and delivering innovative content and platform-native ideas that drive engagement, relevance, and cultural impact no matter the brands you're working with.

Responsibilities

• Lead the creative vision and execution across always-on and campaign-based content for a globally recognized brand.
• Drive social-first, platform-native ideas rooted in culture, community, and emerging trends — especially those connected to influencer and creator ecosystems.
• Serve as the creative lead on pitches, partnering closely with strategy and business leads to win new opportunities.
• Manage and mentor a multidisciplinary team of art directors, copywriters, designers, and content creators — nurturing a culture of innovation, accountability, and excellence.
• Build and grow trusted client relationships at the senior level by delivering smart, creative, and effective work.
• Work in lockstep with cross-functional teams including Account, Strategy, and Production to ensure cohesive delivery and breakthrough ideas.
• Collaborate with influencer and talent partners to develop branded content that elevates the brand's presence and emotional connection to its audience.

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of creative leadership experience, including social-first campaigns, branded content, and influencer-driven work.
• A keen understanding of how to develop ideas for social channels and the passion to push boundaries while staying grounded in brand strategy.
• Proven ability to lead large-scale integrated campaigns from concept to execution — across paid, owned, and earned channels.
• Experience directing high-level clients, confidently presenting and selling work that drives business and creative objectives.
• Hands-on skills in creative tools (Adobe Creative Suite, etc.) and a clear point of view on design and art direction.
• A finger on the pulse of culture, technology, and emerging social platforms — with the ability to translate trends into brand relevance.
• Strong storytelling and communication skills — you can inspire teams and clients alike.
• A proactive mindset and the emotional intelligence to lead with both swagger and humility.
