Creative Director

Build a brand that helps solve one of society's biggest challenges

Most creative leadership roles focus on growing a brand.

At PadSplit, your work could also help expand access to affordable housing.

The company is looking for a Creative Director to lead its next stage of brand growth, building a creative organization that not only produces exceptional campaigns but also earns trust from members, hosts, and partners across every interaction.

If you enjoy combining strategy, storytelling, leadership, and hands-on creative work, this role offers the chance to shape a mission-driven brand at a pivotal moment.

More than creative direction

This isn't a role where you'll simply review concepts from the sidelines.

PadSplit is looking for a leader who enjoys building alongside the team—someone equally comfortable presenting brand strategy to executives, mentoring designers, refining campaigns, and jumping into creative problem-solving when needed.

You'll influence how the brand shows up across marketing campaigns, social media, lifecycle communications, product launches, partnerships, and every major customer touchpoint.

What success looks like

Over time, you'll help:

• Define and evolve PadSplit's creative vision across all channels.
• Lead and develop an in-house creative team, freelancers, and agency partners.
• Create campaigns that strengthen both brand awareness and business growth.
• Build scalable creative processes that improve speed without sacrificing quality.
• Collaborate with Marketing, Product, Engineering, Legal, and Operations from the earliest stages of major initiatives.
• Use customer insights, experimentation, AI tools, and performance data to continuously improve creative outcomes.
• Ensure every piece of communication reflects a consistent and trusted brand identity.

Who will enjoy this role?

This opportunity is well suited to someone who:

• Has at least 8 years of experience leading brand or creative teams.
• Enjoys balancing leadership with hands-on creative work.
• Understands both brand building and performance marketing.
• Has experience creating efficient creative operations and scalable workflows.
• Uses AI tools thoughtfully to improve creative quality and productivity.
• Can connect design and storytelling to measurable business outcomes.
• Wants their work to contribute to a meaningful social mission.

Why PadSplit?

PadSplit is rethinking affordable housing by making it easier for people to access flexible, lower-cost living options.

As Creative Director, you'll help define how that mission is communicated to thousands of members, property owners, and partners while building a brand designed to grow nationally.

If you're looking for a role where creativity has both commercial impact and social purpose, this is an opportunity to shape both.

Compensation & Benefits

• Fully remote within the United States.
• Competitive salary plus equity and company bonus.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Unlimited paid time off.
• 401(k).
• Twelve weeks of paid parental leave.
• Opportunity to work on a mission-driven product tackling the affordable housing crisis.

Salary

USD $150,000–$200,000 per year, depending on experience and expected impact.
