Tiberius is building technologies that do not stop evolving once they leave the factory, while helping shape a defense ecosystem that connects engineers, operators, manufacturers, governments, and allies into a continuously learning system.\nTo serve our nations with Strength, Honor, and Purpose - forging the systems that defend freedom and shape the future of defense.\nPosition Overview\nTiberius Aerospace is seeking a Creative Director to define how the company’s ambition shows up in the world.\nThis is not a role for someone who simply manages an existing brand system. You will help build the system.\nYou will work closely with company leadership, Marketing and Communications, engineering, and product teams to establish the creative language of Tiberius across everything we put into the world - from major product launches and films to our website, social channels, photography, technical visualisation, events, presentations, and physical environments.\nThe right person combines exceptional taste with the ability to execute. You can take a complicated engineering concept and find the simplest, most powerful way to communicate it. You understand when something needs to be cinematic and when it needs to be restrained. You know the difference between making something look expensive and making something feel important.\nMost importantly, you know how to build a brand people recognise before they see the logo.\nWhat You’ll Do\nDefine and evolve the visual language of Tiberius across typography, graphic systems, imagery, motion, photography, film, digital experiences, and physical applications\nDevelop original creative concepts for product launches, campaigns, company announcements, recruiting, events, and major company moments\nWork directly with engineers and product teams to translate complex systems into clear, compelling visual stories without sacrificing technical credibility\nEstablish how Tiberius products are photographed, filmed, rendered, diagrammed, demonstrated, and introduced to the world\nShape the creative direction of Tiberius.com and establish a recognisable visual language across LinkedIn, X, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging channels\nLead photography, film, animation, technical visualisation, and content production from concept through final delivery\nEstablish a distinctive approach to capturing Tiberius people, products, manufacturing, testing, and deployments\nFind compelling ways to document the engineering process - from laboratories and manufacturing floors to live-fire testing and field demonstrations\nPartner directly with founders, executives, and company leadership on the highest-visibility moments for Tiberius\nBuild scalable creative systems, templates, standards, and frameworks that allow the company to move quickly without diluting the brand\nDetermine which capabilities should be built internally, which should be delivered through world-class external partners, and what the Tiberius creative organisation should become over time\nServe as the final creative filter for how Tiberius presents itself and raise the quality bar across all outward-facing work\nCore Responsibilities\nBrand & Visual Identity\nDefine and continuously evolve a distinctive visual identity for Tiberius\nEstablish clear standards across typography, layout, colour, image treatment, iconography, motion, and graphic systems\nBuild a brand that feels coherent across digital, physical, editorial, product, and campaign applications\nEnsure Tiberius is recognisable through its creative expression, not only its logo\nProduct & Technology Storytelling\nPartner with engineering and product teams to understand what is actually being built\nTranslate sophisticated aerospace, defence, software, manufacturing, and weapons-system concepts into credible and compelling visual narratives\nDevelop standards for product renders, diagrams, technical illustrations, demonstrations, explainer content, and launch materials\nMake advanced technology understandable without turning it into generic science-fiction imagery or oversimplified marketing\nFilm, Photography & Motion\nDirect the visual documentation of Tiberius products, people, manufacturing, testing, and operational environments\nLead photographers, filmmakers, production companies, animators, and other creative partners from initial concept through final delivery\nEstablish a distinctive and repeatable approach to photography, cinematic storytelling, motion design, and technical visualisation\nTurn engineering progress, flight testing, live-fire activity, and operational milestones into high-quality creative assets\nDigital Expression\nShape the creative direction of Tiberius.com and ensure the site reflects the company’s technical ambition, credibility, and point of view\nEstablish visual standards for social and digital channels, including LinkedIn, X, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging platforms\nCreate an integrated digital expression that feels like one company rather than a collection of disconnected posts and assets\nPartner with Communications and Marketing to ensure creative work supports narrative, launches, recruiting, and business priorities\nStrategic Company Moments\nLead the creative direction for major company moments, including:New weapons and platforms\nProduct launches and demonstrations\nFlight and live-fire testing\nGovernment contracts\nManufacturing milestones\nInternational expansion\nPartnerships\nSoftware and GRAIL announcements\nCapital events\nRecruiting campaigns\nFounder communications and high-profile presentations\n\nEnsure each moment is creatively distinct, strategically aligned, and executed to a high standard\nBuild the Function\nBuild a scalable creative capability for a rapidly growing aerospace and defence company\nDevelop creative processes, production standards, review mechanisms, templates, and operating rhythms\nManage agency, studio, freelance, production, and vendor relationships where appropriate\nHelp shape the future internal creative team, including its structure, capabilities, and hiring priorities\nProtect quality while maintaining the speed and urgency required by the business\nWhat You’ll Bring\nSignificant experience in brand design, creative direction, art direction, or multidisciplinary design within an exceptional technology company, design studio, creative agency, or similarly demanding environment\nA portfolio demonstrating exceptional creative work across multiple mediums, including brand identity, digital, campaigns, product storytelling, film, photography, motion, or environmental design\nDemonstrated experience defining or substantially evolving a brand - not simply working within an established identity\nExceptional judgment in typography, composition, photography, motion, visual storytelling, and creative restraint\nAbility to move comfortably between creative strategy, concept development, design critique, production direction, and hands-on execution\nExperience directing designers, photographers, filmmakers, agencies, studios, production companies, or other creative partners\nStrong ability to communicate creative decisions clearly to founders, executives, engineers, and external collaborators\nAbility to take complex technical material and find the story, image, or idea that makes it understandable and memorable\nComfort operating with incomplete information, shifting priorities, and imperfect briefs\nHigh standards for craft, paired with the judgment to know when speed matters more than perfection\nA high-ownership mindset and a genuine interest in building rather than inheriting\nPreferred\nExperience in aerospace, defence, industrial technology, automotive, hardware, architecture, robotics, advanced manufacturing, or another technically sophisticated field\nExperience creating visual storytelling around physical products, technical systems, testing environments, or mission-critical technology\nExperience directing technical renders, 3D visualisation, product photography, industrial photography, animation, or documentary-style film\nExperience building or scaling an in-house creative function\nExperience working directly with founders, CEOs, or senior executives\nFluency in modern creative workflows and tools, including Figma and relevant Adobe Creative Cloud applications\nExperience managing complex, high-visibility launches or campaigns\nWhat We’re Looking For\nA creative leader with exceptional taste and the ability to execute\nSomeone who understands that restraint can be more powerful than decoration\nSomeone who can make a technically sophisticated product feel important without making it feel fictional\nSomeone who can sit with engineers, find the story buried inside complicated technology, and bring it to life visually\nSomeone who understands the difference between a polished asset and a meaningful piece of work\nSomeone comfortable working directly with founders and executives who have high standards and strong points of view\nSomeone who can build creative systems, not simply deliver one-off projects\nSomeone who is willing to protect the standard and say when work is not good enough\nWhat Success Looks Like\nTiberius develops a visual identity that is unmistakably its own.\nOur products become recognisable. Our launches become anticipated. Our engineering becomes understandable without becoming simplified. Our photography and films become assets rather than documentation. Our digital presence feels like one company rather than a collection of posts.\nAs Tiberius grows, the creative standard rises with it.\nYou will be responsible for building that standard.\nGrowth Opportunity\nThis role offers the opportunity to define the creative foundation of a company operating at one of the most consequential intersections of technology, national security, and manufacturing.\nThe systems being built now will influence how deterrence works, how allied nations collaborate, and how quickly advanced technology can reach the people who need it. Tiberius will require more than exceptional engineering to define its place in that future. It will require a creative language equal to the ambition of the company.\nThis is the opportunity to build it.\nHow We Support You\nCompetitive base salary\nEquity participation\nFlexible PTO plus 9 bank holidays, 48 hours sick leave, and 5 days bereavement leave\nParental leave (2 weeks)\nBest-in-class health insurance - medical, dental, and vision coverage with 100% of premiums paid for by Tiberius\nSTD, LTD, Life and AD&D insurance\n401(k)\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nTiberius Aerospace, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
