The Brand & Creative Direction Lead is accountable for making sure that point of view survives contact with AI production at scale, partnering directly with brand-side creative directors, translating their standards into Adora's AI tooling, and holding the final aesthetic bar on everything that reaches a client.\nThis is a senior individual contributor role. The Brand & Creative Direction Lead leads through taste and craft: staying close to flagship accounts, building real working relationships with the creative directors on the other side of the table, and setting the aesthetic bar the rest of the creative team works to. A Creative Ops Manager owns pipeline throughput and contractor management, freeing this role to focus on brand fidelity and the creative-director relationship.\nWhat You Will Own\nBrand Aesthetic Standards\nHold the final aesthetic bar on all creative before it reaches a customer, asking whether it is actually on-brand, not just on-brief.\n\nLead the review and iteration cycle, weighing feedback from brand-side creative directors against Adora's own standards.\n\nTranslate each brand's visual identity and creative direction principles into standards Adora's AI tooling can consistently produce against.\n\nServe as the escalation point whenever a brand's aesthetic integrity is in question.\n\nCreative Director Partnership\nServe as the direct creative counterpart to creative directors at Adora's flagship enterprise accounts, the person they call when something doesn't look right.\n\nBuild durable relationships with brand-side creative and creative direction teams across Adora's highest-profile partnerships.\n\nJoin customer meetings as the aesthetic and creative-direction point of contact, alongside Account Managers and leadership.\n\nCustomer Enablement & Brand Partnership\nLead onboarding for brand and creative direction teams adopting Adora, teaching them how to creative-direct through AI rather than around it.\n\nBuild enablement resources, including prompting guides, brand-specific style references, and worked examples, that let creative directors steward their own brand inside Adora's tooling.\n\nSales Enablement Creative\nProduce sample creative for top-tier prospect brands that demonstrates range across aesthetics, not just output volume.\n\nPartner with Sales on pitch creative, turning briefs around within sales cycle timelines.\n\nHelp define creative tiering for prospect and pitch requests.\n\nBrand Playbooks & Prompting Systems\nTurn each account's aesthetic standards into documented, repeatable prompting playbooks other people can execute against.\n\nSet the creative brief standard the Creative Ops team briefs contractors against.\n\nProduct Feedback\nFeed what you see across brands back to Product and Engineering: where the tooling helps creative direction translate cleanly, and where it doesn't.\n\nWhat You Will Bring\nA track record in creative direction or brand stewardship for enterprise brands, whether agency, in-house, or studio, with real experience translating brand guidelines into executed work.\n\nStrong aesthetic judgment across diverse brand identities, and the taste to know when something is technically correct but wrong for the brand.\n\nDeep fluency with AI creative production, or a demonstrated ability to master a proprietary AI system quickly and turn it into standards other people can follow.\n\nReal presence with senior client-side stakeholders, including creative directors and brand leads, with the ability to present creative, absorb feedback, and hold a point of view in the room.\n\nComfort with AI-native tools and technical workflows, including prompting and data-informed quality review.\n\nExperience setting a standard for others' output and reviewing work against it.\n\nNice to Have\nFormal design education, or a background as a brand designer or creative director.\n\nExperience inside an AI-native or fast-scaling studio.\n\nLight scripting or API familiarity.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nCreative on flagship accounts reads as unmistakably on-brand, with high creative-director satisfaction and low rework rates.\n\nBrand playbooks and prompting standards are documented and adopted across the team without you in the loop on every piece.\n\nEnterprise brand and creative direction teams can steward their own brand inside Adora's tooling using your enablement materials.\n\nHigh-stakes pitch creative contributes directly to winning new enterprise accounts.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4628,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI
