[Hiring] Founding Creative Director @Lynton

Role Description

As our founding creative director, you own the creative and communication strategy for every website and campaign Lynton ships, both ours and our clients'. You decide what a page says and how it looks. You design how it moves. You make or direct every image, illustration, animation, and film on it. Some weeks you're writing the headline. Other weeks you're lighting a scene in Blender, or telling a client their brand deserves better than stock photography.

What you'll own

• Creative and communication strategy: Own the messaging and visual system for every site and campaign.
• Interactive experience design: Design how every page moves and responds, including SVG and CSS animation, scroll-driven storytelling, micro-interactions, and real-time 3D.
• 3D and real-time scenes: Model, light, and art-direct scenes in Blender, then bring them to the browser with Three.js and WebGL.
• Generated photography and illustration: Build and run the image pipeline, art-direct photography and illustration with image models.
• Video and motion graphics: Produce product films, launch and explainer videos, social cuts, and motion graphics.
• Campaign creative: Own launches and email campaigns end to end: concept, copy, landing pages, imagery, and video.
• New products, services, and brands: Lead the creative for every launch we incubate.
• Creative oversight on every engagement: Review and sign off on all creative the agency ships.
• Performance and accessibility as part of the craft: Ensure every page meets performance standards.
• AI-first production: Direct our agent fleet through the production work.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in digital creative, with at least three leading it.
• A portfolio of interactive work you directed and helped build.
• You write and can edit copy effectively.
• Hands-on across the motion stack.
• Deep, current practice with image and video models.
• Motion and video craft proficiency.
• Taste you can explain.
• Honest with the medium.
• Performance-minded.
• AI-first in practice.
• Ready to build.

Requirements

• Fluent in CSS and SVG animation, GSAP or an equivalent.
• Experience with real-time 3D in the browser with Three.js, React Three Fiber, or similar.
• Ability to prototype with a coding agent.
• Experience in cutting films and designing motion graphics.

Benefits

• Ground floor with credibility.
• The whole creative surface under one person.
• Access to new tools as part of daily workflow.
• Direct access to leadership.
