Creative & Studio Director

About The Position

Description:

Tailor Brands is a platform that builds businesses – from launch to growth and everything in between. Our “Guidance Engine” creates a personalized plan for every new business, simplifying the process of starting, managing, and scaling. We don’t just give you tools – we guide you through the journey of building a successful business.

As a hyper-growth company at the forefront of the DIY SMB space, we’re laser-focused on user acquisition through discovery channels, driven by highly creative and data-backed campaigns.

We’re looking for a Creative & Studio Director to lead our in-house creative engine – a multidisciplinary team of video editors, marketing designers, and producers. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of performance-driven creativity, data fluency, and production excellence.

You’ll own the development, production, and execution of high-performing creative assets across channels, with a strong focus on discovery platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Meta, and beyond). From concept to delivery, you’ll oversee a team that ideates, scripts, shoots, edits, and tests creative that not only captures attention but converts.

If you’re a creative visionary with a knack for operational efficiency and a deep understanding of performance marketing, this is your chance to scale a studio that drives measurable impact.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and mentor the Creative Studio team, including video editors, motion designers, producers, and marketing designers.
  • Act as a player-coach: personally concept, script, and edit a meaningful share of the studio’s output – especially at crunch times. You add execution capacity, not just direction and feedback.
  • Own the creative roadmap end to end: commit to timelines for strategic initiatives (new formats, creator/UGC programs, new channels) and deliver on them – flagging risks early, not late.
  • Manage team performance actively: set clear output targets per team member, manage capacity and workload allocation, and address underperformance promptly through a structured improvement process.
  • Keep the studio fully staffed: own hiring for the team and close open roles within company time-to-hire benchmarks.
  • Run the full creative pipeline (briefs, in production, delivered) in a single shared system that gives UA, Brand, and leadership full visibility.
  • Be a responsive hub for partner teams – fast, reliable turnaround on requests from HR department and others
  • Be accountable for delivering creative assets for internal employee events and company-wide design requests – on time and to brand standards.
  • Oversee both creative development and production operations, including in-house shoots, post-production workflows, and vendor management.
  • Partner with UA, Brand, Product Marketing, and Data teams to develop breakthrough performance creatives for acquisition campaigns.
  • Manage the full lifecycle of creative assets – from briefing and scripting to production, editing, versioning, and post-launch analysis.
  • Build and optimize repeatable processes for creative testing, performance tracking, and rapid iteration.
  • Use performance data to drive creative strategy, decision-making, and continuous improvement.
  • Foster a culture of creative experimentation and innovation across storytelling formats and platforms.
  • Maintain the highest standards for storytelling, production quality, and brand consistency.
  • Aim for a high pace and a high performing team that runs creative at scale with 25+ creative deliverables every week. 
  • Utilize AI and other advanced methods of creation and operations to hit weekly targets.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in creative leadership roles, ideally in performance-focused environments (e.g., DTC, consumer tech, or growth marketing).
  • Deep understanding of the creative demands of user acquisition on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Meta, and other discovery channels.
  • Proven experience managing and scaling internal creative and production teams.
  • Strong operational background in managing in-house shoots and post-production workflows.
  • Hands-on experience with AI, video and design tools (e.g., Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Figma).
  • Sharp analytical skills – comfortable interpreting data and turning insights into creative direction.
  • Ability to lead with vision, build scalable creative operations, and move fast without sacrificing quality.
  • Strong cross-functional communication and project management skills.
  • A portfolio of recent work you personally created, not only work produced by your team.
  • Proven track record of managing underperformers through to resolution and hiring at pace.
  • Experience running creative-ops tooling (e.g., Monday, Asana, Air) to manage a high-volume creative pipeline.


Bonus Points:

  • Experience working in collaboration with growth and media buying teams.
  • Familiarity with A/B testing, creative analytics platforms, and performance dashboards.
  • Passion for storytelling, branding, and experimentation at the speed of performance marketing.
