• Role description

  Hand a blank artboard to most people and they freeze; hand it to you and a campaign falls out, which is why Retail Partners is hiring a Creative Director. Set against the usual creative listings, this remote role at Retail Partners stands out for one reason — it pays $170,000 - $250,000 and trusts you.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver pixel-perfect, production-ready files to engineering and print teams
  • Localize creative for Escondido audiences without flattening the original idea
  • Shape the unboxing moment Escondido buyers screenshot and share unprompted
  • Manage multiple creative projects simultaneously without missing deadlines
  • Reconcile legal's caveats with a layout that still breathes
  • Coordinate with external agencies, freelancers, and print vendors

  What You'll Bring

  • Eagerness to take ownership and run with new responsibilities
  • Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
  • Enough Decision Making to be dangerous, enough Team Leadership to be trusted
  • The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
  • Working knowledge of Decision Making alongside transferable Design Sprints chops
  • The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
