Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible) for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card payments possible for all by turning a mobile phone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Capital, Square Terminal, Square Payroll, and more. We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own terms—and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square.

Square is looking for a passionate Creative Director to lead our "Appointments" creative team, also known as Square for Beauty. This is an exciting team to be part of. Beauty and other forthcoming segments within Appointments are growing quickly which means the creative team is doubling in size in 2022, and has high-budget awareness campaigns to build. Beauty is an aesthetically-inspired audience, and our creative work needs to be beautiful, inspiring, and culturally relevant.

You will work with the Group Creative Director to set the creative strategy, direction, voice, and personality of Square for Beauty and other future Appointments solutions. You will direct creative work across Square's public web, owned channels, integrated campaigns, and performance marketing for your areas of focus, and work with other creative teams on cross-product campaigns.

You will directly manage an experienced creative team to include art direction, interactive and visual design, and copywriters. You will work regularly with partners in video, photography, production, engineering, and operations. Importantly, you will continue to build upon a culture that motivates this team to achieve creative excellence across a variety of media including web, email, film, video, digital, print, direct mail, retail, and events. You will enhance the creative work to meet the ambition of the brand while delivering outstanding results.

You will work with our marketing partners (product marketing, insights, brand, and channel marketing leads) to develop creative work to support their go-to-market plans. Finally, you will be a member of the cross-company creative leadership team, and help set the tone for the creative culture at Square.

You have:

• 8+ years experience in a creative role including 3 or more years leading a creative team;
• Beautiful portfolio that showcases a passion for your craft;
• Experience leading development of integrated marketing campaigns for digital products with cohesive storytelling;
• Working knowledge of production and asset creation in print, digital and video workflows;
• Understanding of performance and awareness marketing strategies for B2B and B2C;
• Experience recruiting, motivating, and leading a versatile team of experienced creatives;
• Curiosity for technology and the future evolution of content creation and distribution.
