The opportunity

We’re looking for a Creative Director to join Adobe’s Brand Studio. As Adobe’s in-house creative agency, the Studio brings our brand to life. Working with an in-house team of makers, production partners, and agencies, the Creative Director will be responsible for developing industry-leading creative for adobe.com — one of the most heavily trafficked corporate websites in the world and the front door for a majority of our customers. The ideal candidate is a passionate collaborator who loves solving complex creative challenges for a broad range of audiences — from individuals to small teams and enterprises. This person is equally adept at maintaining a high level of conceptual thinking while also finessing the details.  

What you’ll do

• Collaborate with product marketing and strategy teams to ensure briefs are strong and built on a solid foundation of customer insights and data
• Direct creative from concept to final delivery, maintaining a high bar for quality across customer journeys and marketing surfaces
• Direct agency and in-house teams on look, feel, voice and tone, and ensure all communications adhere to Adobe’s Brand
• Create templatized solutions that are impactful and efficient to produce at scale
• Act as a player-coach, working with cross-functional teams to bring ideas to life
• Champion hands-on use of Adobe’s emerging tech as part of Studio’s customer zero mindset

What you’ll need to succeed

• A drive to create inspiring, thoughtful, precisely crafted work
• Hands-on maker experience, from concepting to production, with a willingness to rollup your sleeves and get in the weeds of execution
• Experience influencing and building relationships across multiple product and functional marketing teams to define innovative creative content strategy
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, always-on marketing environment
• Ability to provide clear, consistent creative direction to agency partners

• 15+ years of creative direction experience
• Experience directing content to spec within design and web content management systems
• Excellent listening, speaking, and presentation skills
• An open, positive attitude
