The Creative Lead, Art is a senior creative from a design/art direction background who will brainstorm strategic, attention-getting ways for Linktree to share its brand promise with the world and grab headlines.

What You'll Own

Collaborate with the Creative Director and cross functional partners to unearth strong insights, identify opportunities, and concept fresh, unexpected ways for Linktree to show up in the world. You'll need to be a prolific ideator, ready to keep ideas flowing.
Dig in to strategy, punching up briefs and writing your own when necessary. Stay close with Consumer Insights, always on the hunt for opportunities and inspiration.
Think scrappy! Drive ideas that are rooted in insights that will make people pay attention, rather than rooted in celebrities or million-dollar budgets.
Help the org build a muscle for always-on, reactive initiatives.
Bring ideas for traditional advertising just as readily as you do for nontraditional. Help own campaigns, product launches, partnership offers, etc.
Be a go-to for art direction and design expertise within the team. Bring a passion for crafting work and digging into the details.
Set a high bar for yourself. Strive to develop work that is creatively and aesthetically ambitious.
Remain adaptable and comfortable with change. This is a startup, after all.

10+ years of experience working in highly conceptual, insight-driven creative departments, with at least a few notable earned media successes.
Strategic thinker, able to connect the brand with culture in meaningful, smart ways.
Art direction/design background with strong craft.
Ability to put creative ideas together in a way that feels complete, gettable, on brief, and on brand.
Experienced in the creative production process, knowing how to use it as a tool to push the ideas further.
Flexibility, adaptability, and resilience to keep working at creative projects in the face of rejection or changes.
Willingness to speak up and voice your opinions on the audience, the brand, etc.
Tapped into the zeitgeist, especially the creator economy.

Where and How We Work

We are a global and diverse group offering a truly flexible and family friendly work environment. Kids, pets, and the occasional delivery person are all actively encouraged to appear on our Zoom screens.
