Executive Creative Director

About the Role

We're looking for an Executive Creative Director to lead Engine’s Brand Creative organization! This role goes beyond directing campaigns or setting brand standards — it's about building, leading, and maximizing the output of an entire creative team, ensuring everything Engine puts into the world reflects an uncompromising creative bar.

You'll oversee a multi-disciplinary team of creative directors, brand and growth designers, and copywriters — setting the vision, building the culture, and creating the conditions for exceptional work to happen at scale. You’ll not only set the creative vision, you’ll lead the people, systems, and organization that bring it to life consistently, ambitiously, and efficiently.

This role is for a seasoned creative leader who knows that the highest-leverage work at this level is talent, culture, and organizational clarity. You'll work closely with the Sr. Director of Brand and VP of Brand and Design to connect creative output directly to business strategy, and partner meaningfully with our Creative Ops Director to ensure the organization runs efficiently.

What You'll Do

• Define and own Engine's overarching creative vision and expression across brand identity, campaigns, and beyond
• Lead and manage Engine's full creative organization including creative directors, brand and growth designers, and copywriters—setting direction, developing talent, and holding a high bar for creative excellence
• Define the creative culture and standards that shape how the team works, grows, and produces breakthrough output at scale
• Partner with the Sr. Director of Brand and VP of Brand and Design to align creative vision with brand strategy, business objectives, and organizational priorities
• Collaborate closely with the Creative Ops Director to ensure the team is resourced, structured, and operating with the clarity and efficiency the work demands
• Serve as the ultimate creative authority across all brand output including campaigns, design systems, content, product storytelling, and beyond
• Identify and close capability gaps across the organization through hiring, developing existing talent, and building the right mix of internal and external resources
• Represent the creative organization at the executive level, communicating vision, advocating for investment, and driving alignment across senior leadership
• Build and steward relationships with the highest-caliber agency and production partners, elevating the ambition and quality of Engine's creative at every tier
