[Hiring] Creative Director @Stagwell Global

Role Description

We’re looking for a Creative Director who can shape bold ideas, tell the story that sells them, and lead teams to bring them to life. This role sits inside our GROWTH & NEXT Pods, working across some of the most ambitious and creatively open territory in the industry:

• Experiential environments — brand worlds, immersive spaces, permanent and touring installations
• Themed entertainment — narrative environments, attraction concepts, destination experiences
• Brand activations — moments that earn attention, build belief, and convert audiences into advocates
• Interactive and technology-enabled work — experiences where the audience participates, not just observes

You’ll lead creative across the full arc: from early pitch and concept development through to final execution.

Responsibilities

• Hands-on fluency in graphic and/or digital design — visual systems, spatial graphics, concept visualization, motion
• 3D environmental modeling, spatial concept development, real-time rendering
• Ability to direct and contribute meaningfully to what’s on screen or in the room

The real question isn’t whether you use AI — it’s how you use it to gain an advantage. We want to understand:

• How AI expands your creative exploration
• How it helps you uncover insights others miss
• How it strengthens ideas instead of flattening them
• How it accelerates thinking without outsourcing judgment

In short: How does AI make you a better Creative Director, not just a faster one?

Required Skills

• Great Work — A portfolio of ideas that live beyond the slide deck, showcasing work that exists in environments, systems, installations, or interactions.
• Pitch Leadership — Ability to shape and sell ideas in competitive environments.
• Storytelling — Craft narratives that capture attention, build belief, and move clients to act.
• Team Leadership — Elevate the people around you with clear direction and strong taste.
• Taste & Clarity of Vision — Understand the difference between novelty and meaning, spectacle and substance.

Qualifications

• Experience across two or more of the following areas:
• Experiential marketing and brand activations at scale
• Themed entertainment, attraction design, or narrative environment development
• Permanent or touring installations
• Technology-forward or interactive experience design
• Cultural moments; festivals, tentpoles, world’s fairs, fan experiences
• Genuine range and the creative ambition to push further in each direction.

Compensation

The salary range for this role is $150,000-$200,000. This range is only applicable for jobs to be performed in Culver City, California.
