Creative Director

Job Description

Turner Duckworth New York is looking for an experienced, seasoned leader who can effectively inspire world-class creativity, and instill confidence in clients and their brands. We are looking for ambition—someone who is interested in driving original, culturally definitive work that stands the test of time, and who shares a nothing-but-the-best-will-do mentality.

Internally, you demonstrate a proven ability to recognize and nurture potential. You lead work that consistently succeeds commercially, critically, and socially. You are curious, inventive, ideas-driven, and you seek those qualities in others. You’re aware of cultural and creative trends, but consciously choose to forge a new path. Your expectations are sky-high, but you’re able to help your team rise to meet them. Your direction is clear, but you’re able to suggest as well as you prescribe. You lead with rigor but flex when necessary.

Externally, you understand our clients’ objectives and challenges, and you help generate strategic, creative solutions to solve them. You champion our work, knowing that only the best will ever be good enough, and you can deliver a persuasive argument to support it. You can answer any question or criticism with confidence and thoughtfulness, especially under pressure. You’re also a good, active listener that can adjust your mindset in support of a larger goal.

Growth matters to you. You’re interested in the larger community and industry —whether writing, speaking, or judging —you’re up for helping to grow our profile. You’re connected to a larger network of designers, motion designers, typographers, illustrators and photographers, and have the desire to help grow our creative team and their skillsets.
