Creative Project Manager - Creative Director
Our ideal Creative Project Manager - Creative Director will blend strong project management skills with creative direction to ensure the successful execution of design projects across various categories, including marketing collateral, video animations, and website/app design. You will be responsible for coordinating all design-related aspects of client projects, ensuring seamless collaboration among multidisciplinary teams, and meeting project timelines. This role involves setting and managing client expectations while applying design processes to deliver high-quality outcomes. Exceptional organization, attention to detail, and communication skills are essential for managing multiple projects simultaneously and ensuring on-time delivery.
Designity is a subscription-based creative platform that enables seamless more efficient collaboration between creatives and businesses through a unique and innovative model. Our unique approach has attracted companies of all sizes, including Calendly, Kung Fu Tea, and Marriott Hotels, who choose Designity for their design and marketing needs over traditional, more expensive, and less efficient alternatives.
We’re revolutionizing the creative industry by introducing more thoughtful, effective, modern design and marketing methods. Companies traditionally hire in-house creatives, which is costly, time-consuming, skill-limiting, and requires substantial supervision. Working with traditional design and marketing agencies offers an alternative but at a high cost. Marketplaces like Upwork and Fiverr claim to offer a more affordable solution, but their model lacks reliability and optimization for creative practices, bringing frustration for businesses.
While we maintain a fast-paced startup environment, we’re also in full scale-up mode. If you’re seeking clear career growth, fully remote work, flexible hours, diverse project opportunities, and a chance to build quality content for your portfolio, Designity is the place to learn, develop, and grow into the creative thought leader you aspire to be.
