About the studio

Deel is one of the fastest-growing companies in the world, and we're building the brand and creative studio to match. We make global campaigns, partnerships, film, design, and social at real scale, for businesses and for workers in almost every country there is.

We're looking for someone exceptional to raise the bar on what we make. This is a hands-on role. You'd set the standard by making the work.

The role

Deel is a truly global, people-first brand, and it's taking off. We're looking for a creative director who writes. Someone who owns the idea, and then owns the words that carry it. You'd own creative direction across brand campaigns and the biggest work Deel puts in market, and you'd carry the editorial standard for the studio. This is a hands-on role. You'd make the work.

What you'll make

Brand campaigns. The idea, the platform, and the words, from concept through delivery.

The writing. Headlines, scripts, manifestos, the lines that hold a campaign together.

Direction. Designers, motion designers, and production partners moving toward one thought, and keeping it intact.

The editorial bar. The standard for how Deel sounds, everywhere it speaks.

What you bring

At least ten years of creative experience, directing campaigns end to end.

Writing you'd stand behind on its own. The portfolio should read as well as it looks.

Ideas that are clearly yours. Not executions of someone else's brief.

Proven ability to set direction others follow and defend it with senior stakeholders.

Experience directing across disciplines, including with external partners.

Comfort using AI in concepting, with judgment about when it's the wrong tool.

What would set you apart

Campaign work for a global brand across multiple markets and languages.

Experience building a brand platform, not only executing within one.

Award-recognized work.

Who you'll work with

You'll sit inside the creative studio and work alongside our Creative Director, the brand design and motion teams, and partners in marketing and communications.
