Digital Creative Lead

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Rocket Agency Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year
  • Are you ready to own creative vision at one of Australia's best independent digital agencies?
  • We offer amazing culture and benefits + hybrid work. You'd be joining a talented team of genuinely good people.
  • We're a recent winner at "Australia's Best Places to Work"

We're seeking a hands-on, ideas-driven Digital Creative Lead to own creative vision across our diverse range of mid-market clients. You'll report to our Creative Operations Lead and be accountable for delivering standout work that performs.

At Rocket, you'll find a culturally warm, collaborative team that cares about craft, impact and each other.

What you'll do

  • Own the creative: Take full creative control from brief to ship.
  • Concept & narrative: Conceptualise campaign ideas, angles, headlines and visual directions that connect to audience insight and business goals.
  • Design leadership: Set standards and lead our team of designers.
  • Build trust: Confidently present work to clients, articulating the rationale and gaining their trust.
  • Creative oversight: Guide and review the work of our designers and copywriters.
  • Channel-native excellence: Ensure creative aligns with campaign objectives, brand guidelines and platform best practices (Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Google, programmatic, email and more).
  • Test & learn: Partner with our excellent media, social and data teams to drive performance by briefing variations and iterating for measurable uplift.

About You

  • You're a proven Senior Art Director, Creative Director or Senior Hybrid Creative with a focus on digital and social. If digital and social are not your thing, then this isn't the role for you.
  • You'll also have had plenty of agency experience working with mid-market clients. If working on huge brands at global agencies is your sweet spot, then this is also not the role for you.
  • You'll have had solid experience leading a team, and making those around you successful is something you genuinely love.
  • Last but not least, you pride yourself on being entrepreneurial. Perhaps you've run your own business or passion project, but at the very least you know what it means to approach a creative problem with a business and results mindset (both for the agency and the client).
