Brand at Ironclad:

We are looking for an experienced Brand Creative Director to lead our team of Designers and collaborate with stakeholders across the organization. Our central goal is to create exceptional experiences that evoke emotions and build strong brands.

Our ideal candidate excels at bringing cross-functional teams together, leads with empathy and compassion, and pays close attention to intricate details. You inspire us to push the boundaries of our brand's expression and view creativity as a problem-solving endeavor.

• Build scalable systems, playbooks, and processes for consistent high-quality experiences across multiple channels and campaigns.
• Identify and leverage cultural trends in design, music, fashion, tech, and legal.
• Present and discuss creative decisions and their material impacts on the business, brand, and team.
