Liquid Agency is looking for a bold, visionary, Creative Director to lead and elevate the creative expression of brands to create category leadership.

This is a remote, work-from home position, but you must be based in the U.S. and available to work primarily Central hours.

If you thrive at the intersection of brand, business, design, and creativity, leading teams, shaping breakthrough ideas, and translating strategy into meaningful, high-impact experiences, we want to meet you!

You’ll partner closely with Strategy, Client Services, and Program Management, to shape briefs, guide teams, and deliver work that builds belief and fuels growth.

You are both an inspiring leader and a decisive operator-able to push creative boundaries while maintaining accountability to scope, timelines, and outcomes. You bring gravitas in the room, clarity in storytelling, and the ability to turn a strong idea into a compelling narrative that resonates with clients and audiences alike.

This role requires a balance of creative excellence, strategic thinking, and business acumen-along with a passion for developing teams and building lasting client partnerships.

What you’ll do:

You will serve as the creative lead across client accounts, ensuring all work is grounded in strategy and aligned to the brief

Proven ability to sell and deliver high-impact creative work that drives business results while being on-strategy.

Strong business acumen, including comfort managing scope, budgets, and profitability

Established and demonstrable fluency and skills with a broad range of AI tools, because you already have embraced the benefits of human-first AI-powered creativity

Proven enthusiasm to use modern collaborative creative tools like Figma & Miro. Figma base-level fluency is especially important for the ease of collaboration that ladders directly up into modern application of creative thought applied to experience.
