Experiential moments where abstract ideas become clear, irressistible, and tangible.\nOur positioning is simple:\nWe Make It Real.\nWe’re looking for a Creative Director who can do exactly that → shape bold ideas, tell the story that sells them, and lead - not dictate - teams to bring them to life.\nOverview\nTHE WORK\nThis role sits inside our GROWTH & NEXT Pods, working across some of the most ambitious and creatively open territory in the industry:\nExperiential environments - brand worlds, immersive spaces, permanent and touring installations\nThemed entertainment - narrative environments, attraction concepts, destination experiences\nBrand activations - moments that earn attention, build belief, and convert audiences into advocates\nInteractive and technology-enabled work - experiences where the audience participates, not just observes\nYou’ll lead creative across the full arc: from early pitch and concept development through to final execution. That means being as sharp in a competitive pitch room as you are on a build site walkthrough.\nResponsibilities\nHANDS-ON CRAFT\nThis isn’t a role for someone who only directs from a distance.\nWe want someone who can get into the work - who can open a file, shape a frame, and contribute meaningfully to what’s on screen or in the room. Specifically, we’re looking for hands-on fluency in:\nGraphic and/or digital design - Visual systems, spatial graphics, concept visualization, motion\n3D - Environmental modeling, spatial concept development, real-time rendering\nBoth is exceptional. One is the floor. Either way, your hands-on capability should show up in how you direct, how you review, and how quickly you help a team find the right answer.\nTHE QUESTION WE CARE ABOUT\nAI is everywhere.\nClients use it. Teams use it. Partners use it. So do we.\nThe real question isn’t whether you use AI - it’s how you use it to gain an advantage.\nWe want to understand:\nHow AI expands your creative exploration\nHow it helps you uncover insights others miss\nHow it strengthens ideas instead of flattening them\nHow it accelerates thinking without outsourcing judgment\nIn short: How does AI make you a better Creative Director, not just a faster one? (or a lazier one.)\nRequired Skills\nTABLE STAKES\nThere are fundamentals every Creative Director here must bring.\nGreat Work - A portfolio of ideas that live beyond the slide deck. Work that exists in environments, systems, installations, or interactions. Show us things that were actually built.\nPitch Leadership - You know how to shape and sell ideas in competitive environments. You understand what converts opportunity into business - and you can carry a room.\nStorytelling - You craft narratives that capture attention, build belief, and move clients to act. From concept decks to client presentations, your work reads and performs.\nTeam Leadership - You elevate the people around you. Clear direction, strong taste, and the generosity to help others do their best work. Not a gatekeeper. A multiplier.\nTaste & Clarity of Vision - You understand the difference between novelty and meaning, spectacle and substance. You push for both.\n\nQualifications\nBACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE\nExperience across two or more of the following areas will set you apart:\nExperiential marketing and brand activations at scale\nThemed entertainment, attraction design, or narrative environment development\nPermanent or touring installations\nTechnology-forward or interactive experience design\nCultural moments; festivals, tentpoles, world’s fairs, fan experiences \nWe’re less interested in a single lane and more interested in someone who has genuine range and the creative ambition to push further in each direction.\nCompensation\nThe salary range for this role is $150,000-$200,000. This range is only applicable for jobs to be performed in Culver City, California. This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee’s pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4512,"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":["Advertising","Creative Agencies","Market Research","Digital Media"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T15:18:01Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 3","filings_12m":3,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":202500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":81,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.854,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":15,"reasons":["conf:0","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/stagwell-creative-director-growth-experiential","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/stagwell-creative-director-growth-experiential.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T18:41:11Z","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":27728,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"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":1790083},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1790083"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fstagwell-creative-director-growth-experiential"},{"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%2Fstagwell-creative-director-growth-experiential"},{"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%2Fstagwell-creative-director-growth-experiential"},{"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/stagwell-creative-director-growth-experiential\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fstagwell-creative-director-growth-experiential"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3010619}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"stagwellglobal.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3010619},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
