Job Description

Experience Without Limits. Come shape the future of brand experience.

At Jack Morton, we create, and build, head-turning, smile-inducing, impact driving brand experiences. We exist to redefine what experiential can achieve, helping clients unlock the full value of experiences.

That takes a team that's bold, curious, and acts as one - building on ideas, pushing boundaries, and showing up for each other. Here, you'll do your best work, grow fast, and collaborate across clients, disciplines, and global teams to bring new ideas to life.

This is a place where curiosity drives what's next, boldness raises the bar, and we win together. Where ownership is expected, egos are left at the door, and the work reflects the people behind it.

Experience without limits — in your work, your growth, and your impact.

**must be able to work hybrid 3 days/week in a US Jack office**

We're seeking a passionate Creative Director (art/design/environmental/architecture background) with an uncompromising eye for detail to join our team, crafting culture-popping lifestyle experiences for iconic global brands—including leaders in the automotive sector.

You should be able to turn strategic insights into innovative brand experiences across sports, travel, art and design partnerships . If you instinctively track cultural shifts , think fluidly across mediums, obsess over craft, and bring refined ideas to life with precision, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do:

• Design culture-forward experiences: Concept and craft brand experiences that tap emerging culture.
• Build stories people feel: Create presentations that marry strategy with smart creative, inspiring clients and building confidence.
• Share an inspiring vision: Present ideas with clarity and charisma—bringing the emotional core of a concept to life.
• Build a brand world: From spatial design to content, from fashion details to culinary touches—you'll ensure every element speaks the same language.
• Collaborate with creators: Work with internal teams and world-class partners, tastemakers, and influencers to deliver creative that accomplishes client objectives.

Key Accountabilities:

Creative Development

• Create ideas that tap what's next: Develop concepts inspired by emerging cultural trends, contemporary design, and audience behavior.
• Build campaigns, not tactics: Work with strategists, designers and account leads to translate brand and business goals into layered, multi-faceted brand experiences.
• Know the audience: Understand the nuances of various demographics—their references, their expectations, their standards.
• Bring cultural intel to the table: Share insights from new tech, architecture and design, the art world, niche communities, and underground trends.

Exceptional Execution

• Own creative from start to finish: Protect the idea through every stage—concepting, build, install, and everything in between.
• Obsess over craft: Partner with creative, production and vendors to ensure every detail is intentional and exceptionally executed.
• Push the work forward: Champion new materials, technologies and talent, always rethinking and reinventing what a brand experience can be.

Collaboration

• Work seamlessly across disciplines: Keep storytelling sharp and design cohesive by partnering closely with design, production, strategy, and account teams.
• Keep the idea alive: Maintain creative integrity even when timelines shift or budgets flex.
• Cultivate community: Help foster a culture where ideas flow, every voice is heard, and collaboration feels energizing and fun.

Requirements:

You Bring

• 7–10+ years in lifestyle or culturally driven brand work (examples of this include immersive dinners, VIP hospitality suite experiences, luxury brand trips for influencers, etc.)
• Strong conceptual instincts and the ability to think in 360-experiences
• Confidence leading multidisciplinary teams

How You Show Up

• You say "yes" more than "no"
• You carry the confidence and polish required to partner with top-tier clients
• You're energized by pace—and thrive in high-style environments

How You Amplify Our Culture

• You elevate teams and bring people together
• You're optimistic, generous, and push others to be their best
• You're creative, but also grounded—someone who can dream big and deliver bigger
