Creative Director, CPG

Who We Are: Power Digital is an AI-Native Growth Firm built at the intersection of world-class talent and proprietary technology. We help leading and emerging brands grow by combining deep vertical expertise, strategic thinking, and enterprise intelligence to drive measurable business outcomes. For more than a decade, we have built our business around one belief: the best technology makes great people better. Our teams of strategists, creatives, analysts, and technologists use Omega, our AI operating system, to surface opportunities faster, investigate what is driving performance, and execute approved work with greater speed and precision. Behind Omega is Iris, our proprietary intelligence layer, built on years of real performance data, strategic frameworks, testing, and learnings from across our client portfolio. AI expands the capacity of our people to think, create, solve harder problems, and make better decisions. Human judgment, creativity, and accountability remain central to how we work. As a people-first firm, we value diversity in backgrounds and experiences. We strongly believe our people and culture are key to our success. We partner closely with our clients as an extension of their teams, working across strategy, execution, and measurement to identify what is truly blocking growth and determine what to do next. Our culture is built on people who are curious, ambitious, accountable, and committed to delivering meaningful results for our clients and for one another. At Power Digital, we believe the future belongs to teams that combine the best talent with the best technology. We are building that future today. ***Proficiency in spoken and written English at an advanced level is required for this role. A day in the life: As the Creative Director, you are the leader of your pod, a hybrid of senior individual contributor, people manager, and product leader for Creative within the division. Reporting to the Managing Director, you own two things above all else: the people on your pod, and the quality of the creative work that pod produces. This is a player-coach role. You are the best generalist on your pod, earning the team’s trust through judgment and craft, not title, and you lead from the front: explaining creative strategy directly to clients, and stepping into concepting, design, or production coverage at an exemplary standard on select high-priority accounts, and for escalations and pitches when needed. You protect your pod from unreasonable client pressure while holding a high, non-negotiable creative bar, and you own the full creative vision for your book of business, from strategy through post-production. Beyond delivery, you push the creative product itself forward, partnering with the R&D team to pilot new tools, formats, and approaches, then translating those innovations into practical gains for your division. This role is on the roadmap to Managing Director, building the people leadership and product judgment that role demands while staying closer to the craft. Key Responsibilities: Team Leadership & Development: Maximize the Team’s Output & Trust Lead and manage a pod of creative professionals (Strategists, Designers, Editors, ACDs), owning hiring, onboarding, and day-to-day leadership. Build development plans, coaching cadences, and mentorship for each team member. Own team retention through trust, positive sentiment, psychological safety, and clear growth paths. Drive performance management using the ARC framework; deliver direct feedback and raise/promotion recommendations. Oversee capacity planning and staffing alignment as client books shift. Facilitate ongoing training and knowledge-sharing on industry trends and tools. Client & Delivery Oversight: Senior Contributor
