Founding Creative Director

Description:

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Founding Creative Director based in France.

As Founding Creative Director, you will define the creative standard for a fast-moving company entering a period of significant product and brand growth. You will own creative direction across launches, positioning, storytelling, design systems, and every major customer-facing artifact. This is a hands-on leadership role where you will personally ship work while establishing the creative bar for the organization. You will work closely with the founding team in a highly autonomous, distributed, and low-bureaucracy environment. Over time, you will build a small internal creative team spanning design, motion, and content. The pace is intense, the feedback loop is short, and your decisions will have a direct impact on what reaches the market. This is an opportunity for a highly opinionated creative leader who wants to set the standard rather than inherit one.
