Creative Director/ Director Digital Creation… at Virtual… · Remote

## Job Description

Creative work is changing fast. Are you ready to lead that shift, not just react to it? We're looking for a Creative Director to lead our Digital Creative Unit and raise the bar on our creative output - across digital marketing and communication projects. AI is changing how creative work gets done, but the human behind the idea still matters most. We want someone with a h2, informed point of view on where this is heading, who isn't afraid to push back when needed. If you're ready to hold your team and yourself to a high standard and shape the future of creative work at VI - not just manage it - we want to hear from you.

## What you will do:
• Lead the Digital Creative Unit, both professionally and as their manager — fostering the growth of the team and individual talents
• Shape how the team works with AI — bring your own point of view on pace and direction, and help the team use it to sharpen their craft
• Develop strong creative ideas, shape them further, and lead the team in bringing them to life
• Work closely with the Brand Strategy Unit to build your creative process on solid strategic foundations
• Bring deep expertise in social media and digital advertising, strong visual design skills, and the ability to challenge concepters and designers on their craft
• Understand and lead the full creative process, from concept through production to go-live
• Stay hands-on when needed — you're happy to roll up your sleeves and produce ad materials or videos yourself
• Set clear expectations and hold your ground in conflicts when needed
• Convincingly present creative concepts to existing and potential clients, communicating the value and impact of the ideas

## Requirements

What we expect:
• Experience as Creative Director, Head of Digital, Creative Strategist or similar, in a digital agency environment with a focus on digital marketing and communication
• A genuine point of view on AI and how it changes creative work
• A proven track record of strong, boundary-pushing creative thinking, paired with clear strategic reasoning
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to inspire and motivate a team
• Conflict ability - you can name expectations clearly and stand by them
• Leadership experience is a strong plus
• Fluent German and English is required; based in or near Vienna preferred
