Director, Creative leading experiential design strategies for clients at DEPT®. Orchestrating cohesive brand experiences across physical environments and digital interactions.
Responsibilities
Closely collaborate with multidisciplinary teams of talented people across the agency and projects.
Lead the creative team in rigorous conceptual exploration grounded in our ability to deliver. You must be comfortable driving the work from safe, foundational ideas ("mild") to boundary-pushing, disruptive concepts ("wild"), ensuring we explore the full limits of what is possible before refining for execution.
Orchestrate a seamless story across all physical touchpoints. This includes directing the strategy for in-store digital screens, physical print collateral, and subtle experiential details (texture, lighting, flow).
Partner lock-step with the Senior, Copywriting. You will work as a cohesive unit to ensure the visual environment and the narrative voice are inextricably linked and mutually elevating.
Distinct from one-off installations, you will establish a robust, scalable design system for our client’s stores. This system must be rigid enough to maintain brand consistency but flexible enough to adapt to different footprints and markets.

Strong knowledge of visual design, user-centered experience design, interaction design, brand development, and the creative process.
Ability to lead internal teams with strategic vision and creative inspiration.
An entrepreneurial and independent spirit.
A diverse sense of taste with the knowledge necessary to apply to various challenges.
Bring deep empathy to the users you design for, the brands you help evolve, and the internal teams you lead and collaborate with.
Innovation and experimental thinking that generate innovative thinking.
