We arm people with trusted advice and guidance so they can make informed decisions they feel confident in and get back to doing the things they care about most.\nWe are an experienced team of industry experts dedicated to helping readers make smart decisions and choose the right products with ease. Forbes Advisor boasts decades of experience across dozens of geographies and teams, including Content, SEO, Business Intelligence, Finance, HR, Marketing, Production, Technology and Sales. The team brings rich industry knowledge to Forbes Advisor's global coverage of consumer credit, debt, health, home improvement, banking, investing, credit cards, small business, education, insurance, loans, real estate and travel.\nForbes Advisor is hiring a Director, AI Creative to design and implement how the Creative team uses AI to improve the quality and the quantity of our work across our social verticals. As this is a new department within the Creative team, you will define its function, build the systems that run it, and hire and oversee the required team. The ideal candidate has deep expertise spanning generative AI and tooling, direct response creative, and leadership of creative teams. You and your team will work across Forbes’ portfolio of verticals, partnering with Creative Directors who own end-to-end vertical creative strategy.\nRESPONSIBILITIES\nDesign the strategy, team structure, and systems for embedding AI tools in the creative process, with a focus on producing a high volume of generative AI content designed for paid social creative.\nOwn generative output end to end for paid social and native: stills that hold the same character across every shot, AI video, lip-sync, and generated voiceover, from approved script and storyboard to organized, tagged, editor-ready footage. Set the quality bar for generated work and enforce it.\nArchitect the systems that make generation scale past any one person: pipelines, prompt libraries, character reference libraries, internal tooling, and the automation that connects them.\nMeasure how well AI content, and the systems that produce it, are working. What a finished asset costs to make, how long a job takes from approved script to editor handoff, how often work is accepted on the first pass, and how generated work performs in market against everything else we run. \nHelp raise the AI fluency of the whole creative team. Work with Creative Directors and their teams to design AI-enabled tools, systems, processes that improve quality and quantity of output.\nREQUIREMENTS\n7+ years in creative, production, or content, with at least the last 2 years hands-on in generative AI video and image production. You have stood up an AI capability inside a creative org before.\nA real grounding in direct-response creative. You understand how a DR ad is built, and you can judge whether a cut will convert, not only whether it looks polished.\nDemonstrated generative craft: a reel or portfolio of AI-generated or AI-assisted work that ran as paid creative, with an honest account of what you made versus what the model made, and how it performed. You can hold character and continuity across a whole spot, work out why a render broke instead of re-rolling blindly, and get work through platform filters yourself.\nDeep, current fluency with the generative tools: image models that can hold several characters consistent, AI video both with and without native audio, lip-sync, and AI voiceover. You have opinions on the trade-offs, not a list of tool names.\nYou architect the tooling. You can map out the systems and automations the team needs, build working versions yourself in tools like n8n, Gumloop, or Make, and brief engineering clearly enough that they can build the rest.\nExperience leading people or a function, whether as a manager, a team lead, or the person who built a capability others came to depend on. You can make the case for a hire and then hold the bar you set.\nComfort working inside compliance rails: regulated-category claims, platform ad policy, and partner brand guardrails.\nClear written communication, and the confidence to hold your position with senior people outside Creative, including the buyers and the executive team.\nComfortable in a start-up style operating environment where the tools, and sometimes the plan, change under you.\nSTRONG PLUSES\nVideo editing or motion and VFX background (Premiere, After Effects, DaVinci) that lets you hand editors better material and speak their language.\nFamiliarity with DAM systems (Air, Frame.io, or comparable) and production project-management tooling.\nComfort reading performance dashboards (Looker, Tableau, in-platform reporting) to close the loop between what rendered and what converted.\nA track record of forming a real point of view on brand-new tools fast, because these tools turn over monthly.\nForbes Advisor provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.\nThis policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation and training.\n#LI-REMOTE #LI-NM1","description_format":"text","description_chars":5543,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T02:22:05Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":30,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.666,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":57,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/forbes-advisor-ai-creative-lead-remote","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/forbes-advisor-ai-creative-lead-remote.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T13:38:03Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19581,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4458533},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4458533"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fforbes-advisor-ai-creative-lead-remote"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fforbes-advisor-ai-creative-lead-remote"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fforbes-advisor-ai-creative-lead-remote"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/forbes-advisor-ai-creative-lead-remote\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fforbes-advisor-ai-creative-lead-remote"}]}
