At Interactive Strategies, we don’t just build brands, websites and marketing campaigns—we help tell the stories that matter. Our work supports organizations tackling the world’s biggest challenges, from climate action to public health. We are looking for a Creative Director to lead the creative vision behind that work, helping mission-driven organizations communicate with clarity, emotion, and impact across every touchpoint. As our Creative Director, you’ll collaborate across disciplines—strategy, UX, design, content, and marketing—to shape ideas from insight to execution. While this is a leadership role, it is not managerial. Consider your projects your direct reports. Your responsibility is to champion storytelling that connects, inspires, and delivers results.

Ensure the essence of a brand is expressed with depth, consistency, and versatility. Collaborate with Intention: Work hand-in-hand with strategists, designers, writers and marketers to co-create bold, insight-driven work—grounded in research and tailored to specific audiences. Be a Trusted Voice: Present and defend ideas with confidence and humility—leading client presentations, facilitating collaborative reviews, and navigating feedback with grace. Lead the Pitch: Play a key role in new business development—helping shape proposals, deliver pitches, and build creative narratives that show what’s possible (and make clients want to be part of it). Expertly Execute: Review and participate in creative output from kickoff to launch, with an eye for detail, a heart for storytelling, and a commitment to raising the bar.
