Creative Director

We are Rokt, a hyper-growth ecommerce leader. Rokt is the global leader in ecommerce, unlocking real-time relevance in the moment that matters most. Rokt’s AI Brain and ecommerce Network powers billions of transactions connecting hundreds of millions of customers, and is trusted to do this by the world’s leading companies.

We are a team of builders helping smart businesses find innovative ways to meet customer needs and generate incremental revenue. Leading companies drive 10-50% of additional revenue—and often all their profits—from the extra products or services they sell. This economic edge unleashes a world of possibilities for growth and innovation.

At Rokt, we practice transparency in career paths and compensation. We believe in transparency, which is why we have a well-defined career ladder with transparent compensation and clear career paths based on competency and ability. Rokt’stars constantly strive to raise the bar, pushing the envelope of what is possible.

Target total compensation ranges from $221,000 - $300,000, including a fixed annual salary of $182,000 - $230,000, an employee equity plan grant, and world-class benefits. 

Equity grants are issued in good faith, subject to company policies, board approval, and individual eligibility.

About the Role:

Your Mission: A market-leading brand that demands attention.

As Rokt scales and accelerates with AI, our creative output must also scale—without sacrificing quality, clarity, or trust. Our Creative Director, reporting to the Chief Commercial Officer, will:

1. Define the Visual Language of Innovation: You will set the creative standard for executive storytelling and sales enablement. You will establish the operating rhythms and quality gates that ensure every piece of work—from a global campaign to a keynote deck—is a world-class extension of the Rokt brand.
2. Drive AI-Enabled Creative Output: Everyone is using AI to do more. You will use it to do better. You will champion AI as a force multiplier for production, freeing up the creative team’s bandwidth for the "human-only" elements: nuanced design and the high-level craft that machines cannot replicate.
3. Mentor and Cultivate: You believe that the best creative work is a reflection of the powerful relationships through which it is created; you’re building a legacy. You will mentor a high-talent team, coaching them to think bigger, execute sharper, and stay "better together" in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Responsibilities:

• Lead End-to-End Creative Strategy: Drive the visual narrative across all priority channels and moments, ensuring Rokt’s voice is always the most compelling in the room.
• Architect AI-enabled Creative Systems: Build scalable production workflows that leverage automation for speed, while protecting the strategic "white-glove" creative needed for major partner moments.
• Direct Integrated Campaigns: Oversee design, copy, and motion to ensure a cohesive, premium brand experience that earns trust with C-suite prospects.
• Partner with GTM & Product: Collaborate with internal leaders to align creative output with hard business outcomes, making trade-offs that favor impact over volume.

Requirements

About You:

• At least 10 Years of Excellence: You have a proven track record in progressive creative leadership roles with a portfolio that proves you can win at the highest levels.
• A "High-Bar" Obsession: You have a visceral reaction to mediocrity. You know how to give the kind of critique that levels up both the work and the person doing it.
• Operational Sophistication: You can build the creative “machine" (intake, briefs, production, delivery) that enhances the magic.
• Outcome-Oriented: You aren't just here to make things "look pretty." You are here to help Rokt win. You use every tool at your disposal—especially AI—to accelerate the path to "wow."
• Demonstrated People Leadership: You have experience coaching and developing junior talent, establishing team expectations, and creating a high-trust environment with high standards.
• Highly Adaptable: You are able to navigate shifting priorities, make clear trade-offs, and use AI/tools to accelerate delivery—without compromising strategic clarity or brand trust.
