(Austin, TX)A little about us
We're looking for a Creative Director to join our digital design and development studio in Austin. You may already be familiar with some of our work; we created the award-winning mobile apps for Obama¹s re-election campaign in 2012 and have designed software for brands ranging from Vice to EA to Honeywell.
We're a small, tight-knit team of designers, developers, and blue sky thinkers who work closely on each project from start to finish. Our work environment is casual and flexible with an emphasis on small team collaboration. Our client engagements are typically project-based, allowing for fresh-thinking, finite project times, and measured successes.
A little about you
You love design and have a strong sense for what looks and works great. You're obsessed with the details and getting things right. You have big ideas, are a great storyteller, and understand the value of executing as a team. More than anything, you are passionate about digital product design and enjoy the thrill of creating a great user experience.
In this role, you'll be responsible for leading a team of talented designers and UX specialists on client-facing projects and in-house initiatives. As a core member of the studio, you'll also play a critical role in shaping our creative strategy and helping us grow as a team.
This is an ideal position for someone who is comfortable with a smaller creative environment and is used to helping guide multiple projects simultaneously. Our idea candidate has several years of agency experience with a focus on digital products.
If this sounds like you, give us a shout!
