The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Coca-Cola is hiring a Creative Director in Elgin, IL.

• Role description

  Step into a studio culture where hybrid work, real ownership, and a $137,000 - $208,000 budget back a Creative Director who actually ships. A Creative Director seat that takes 11 years of Mobile-First Design seriously, pays $137,000 - $208,000, and hands over the creative reins.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Hand engineering specs tight enough that the build matches the mock
  • Trace a thread from Coca-Cola values to the smallest UI detail
  • Interrogate a brief until the real ask underneath it surfaces
  • Steer a director review toward decisions instead of opinions about decisions
  • Turn rough briefs into polished Brand Identity deliverables the creative team can ship

  What You'll Bring

  • 11+ years navigating the politics that creative work attracts
  • A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
  • A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
  • Curiosity that outpaces your current job description
  • An autonomy-rich bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
  • Experience thriving in a documentation-first, deadline-driven setting like Coca-Cola
  • Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
