OpenAI · San Francisco
A Creative Director shaping brand identity at OpenAI is about as high-stakes as design gets right now. This is the rare role where every decision becomes the public face of the most-watched AI company on the planet. A senior creative leader with a vision for how frontier AI should look and feel to the world.
OpenAI · San Francisco
This is a rare creative leadership role at the epicenter of AI. Directing documentary films about how people actually use AI — with full creative ownership and a $266K+ comp package — is the kind of role that barely exists anywhere else. A dream gig for filmmakers and creative directors who want to shape how the world sees AI.
Anthropic · San Francisco, CA
Anthropic's brand work has set a new bar for AI company aesthetics, and Enterprise is the surface where that brand shows up to Fortune 500 buyers. Art direction here means shaping how the most important B2B relationships in AI get expressed. High-stakes, high-craft.
Mercury · SF, NY, Portland, or remote
Mercury has quietly become one of the most design-forward companies in fintech. An executive creative director role here means leading the creative vision for a brand that's already best-in-class — rare executive-level design leadership at a company that genuinely values craft.
Tolan · San Francisco
Art direction for an embodied AI character product — defining visual identity, character design, 3D style language. Unique creative role at the intersection of AI and interactive design.
Meta · Los Angeles, CA / Menlo Park, CA / New York, NY / San Francisco, CA
Performance-marketing creative leans data-driven, but at Meta it still demands real craft to cut through. This suits a director who enjoys pairing measurable outcomes with strong visual storytelling.
Gamma · San Francisco
Gamma has built one of the most distinctive aesthetics in the AI presentation space — this role sets brand direction as the product moves from indie-feel to mainstream. Small, design-led team in SF, with creative reporting close to the founders. Rare to find a creative director gig at a company where design is the product.
Pocket · San Francisco (or remote with frequent travel)
Pocket is one of those rare "what even is this thing" startups — building ambient intelligence hardware out of San Francisco with a founding team that talks about taste like it's a daily war. A Creative Director role here means defining the visual and narrative DNA of a category that does not exist yet, with frequent travel between SF and Shenzhen. The kind of role where the brand work will be as load-bearing as the product itself.
Chime · San Francisco, CA
Chime is one of the largest neobanks in the US, and this Associate Creative Director role bridges brand and product. It's a chance to define the creative voice of a fintech challenger that's genuinely consumer-loved — high visibility, real design authority.
Gusto · Denver, CO / San Francisco, CA / New York, NY / Los Angeles, CA / Seattle, WA
Gusto's brand voice has always been warm and human in a category that defaults to corporate — this role shapes that voice at the highest level. Group Creative Director signals serious investment in the creative team. A great opportunity for a copy-focused creative leader.
Chime · New York, NY / San Francisco, CA
Chime is one of the more design-aware names in consumer fintech, and a brand creative director sets the tone for how millions of people experience a money app. The scope spans the full brand system, which makes this a meaty leadership seat for someone who thinks in campaigns and craft.
Chime · San Francisco, CA
Chime has invested consistently in brand and product design for a category (consumer fintech) where that discipline is rare. An ACD here runs campaigns at scale — less prestigious than working at a design-led startup, but the audience is massive and the team knows its craft.
Chime · San Francisco, CA
Chime reaches millions of everyday Americans, so its brand work has real cultural reach beyond the usual fintech polish. A creative director seat here means shaping mass-market campaigns with the budget and audience of a household-name challenger bank.
Carta · San Francisco
An internship-level graphic design role in Carta's marketing team. Good entry point for early-career designers interested in fintech.
