Our client's Brand & Marketing team is seeking a senior Creative Director to serve as a strategic creative lead and quality control partner on in-market work produced by their agency partners. This is a senior-level role for a creative leader who can hit the ground running, internalize brand standards quickly, and operate as a trusted extension of the internal team.

Role summary

In this role, you will review and approve creative deliverables produced by agency partners before work goes to market. You'll act as the brand steward on the client side, ensuring every piece meets their standards for quality, tone, and strategic alignment. This is not a hands-on production role; it is a senior oversight and partnership role that requires strong creative judgment, clear communication, and the ability to give decisive, actionable feedback.

What you'll do

  • Review and approve agency-produced creative across channels (digital, video, OOH, social, print) before work goes in market
  • Serve as the primary day-to-day creative liaison between the client and their agency partners
  • Provide clear, constructive, and decisive creative feedback rooted in brand strategy and executional standards
  • Rapidly learn and internalize the client's brand guidelines, visual identity, tone of voice, and campaign history
  • Maintain brand consistency and quality control across all in-market deliverables
  • Partner with internal brand, strategy, and marketing stakeholders to align on creative direction and priorities
  • Flag creative risks or misalignments early and escalate with a clear point of view

What makes you stand out

  • You've been the client-side creative voice in an agency/client model before
  • You know how to protect a brand without slowing down production timelines
  • You earn trust fast, with agencies and with internal stakeholders
  • You bring senior judgment without ego; a collaborator who also knows when to hold the line

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in a senior creative role (Creative Director, Group CD, or equivalent)
  • Proven track record working with or managing external agency relationships
  • Experience reviewing, approving, and giving feedback on work that goes to market, not just concepting
  • Demonstrated ability to ramp up quickly on a new brand and operate with confidence in a fast-moving environment
  • Deep understanding of brand systems, campaign architecture, and multi-channel creative execution
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — you can articulate creative decisions clearly and persuasively
  • Experience in financial services or fintech is a plus, but not required
  • Must have a portfolio when applying
