Associate Creative Director, Customer Stories

Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends. We automate how over $200B in annualized spend flows in and out of 70,000+ companies: authorizing payments, flagging risk, categorizing spend, and closing books.

The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.

We hire people with high agency and high urgency. We look for slope over intercept. We care less about where you trained and more about what you’ve built. At Ramp, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome.

The median Ramp customer saves 5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year – far in excess of businesses operating without Ramp. We believe every ambitious company deserves the same.

If you want to build systems that directly shape how companies move and manage billions, Ramp is the place to do it.

The Creative Director for Customer Stories will set the creative standard for the program, leading the charge on how we celebrate the compelling people and businesses building on Ramp. You’ll own the story bar, bringing narrative clarity, and filmmaker-level craft to every project.

Your job is to define the program’s creative principles, write the treatments, and direct a bench of filmmakers and animators. You’ll apply deep production knowledge to govern our tiers and actively push to break the mold of traditional B2B “customer stories.” Working closely with our Customer Marketing Lead, who writes the stories and sets the narrative priorities, you bring those stories to life on screen: owning the creative ideation, treatment, and direction. You’ll also work closely with animators and filmmakers, directing them through every shoot and edit.

As a creative leader, you’ll set the standard for how Ramp is represented to our customers, partnering across the business to ensure every project meets an exceptionally high bar for craft and storytelling.

• Strong story casting instincts — you can spot the compelling person inside a corporate org and pull a story out of someone who defaults to corporate-speak
