A day in the life
As Creative Director, you will partner with Designers, CDs, and the Group CD to bring exceptional ideas to life through brand design.
On any given day you might be:
- Concepting and designing alongside the team — not just reviewing work, but actively creating mockups, exploratory directions, and production-ready assets.
- Interpreting a creative brief and rapidly developing design directions that respond to both business goals and customer needs.
- Directing a small team of designers in close collaboration with program managers, production, motion, and media teams.
- Presenting creative concepts to senior executives and cross-functional stakeholders with clarity, confidence, and narrative.
- Developing or refining brand system guidelines that scale across global touch points.
- Advocating for the brand, the design organization, and your team across Amazon's broader partner ecosystem.
- Managing multiple projects simultaneously, maintaining high creative standards against tight deadlines.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 8+ years of driving compelling creative strategy and execution at an agency or in-house creative team experience
- Have an online portfolio demonstrating strong visual design skills and advertising experience across a range of media and platforms, along with work that reflects your design process
- Bachelor’s degree in design, Fine Arts, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Deep understanding of typography, layout, grid, and design principles across digital and print.
- Experience designing transformative interactive experiences: front-end UI, narrative storytelling, systems thinking, prototyping, and production-ready assets.
- Proficiency in Figma, InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator.
- Strong art direction skills and background — experience concepting, directing, and executing photo and video shoots, and developing brand image systems from initial vision through final production assets.
- Experience creating brand guidelines and developing O&O digital campaigns at global scale.
- Understanding of motion design principles and how they integrate into brand systems.
- Experience working with world-class brand-focused design agencies or consultancies.
- Unwavering dedication to craft from first idea to final execution.
- Familiarity with the evolving AI landscape as it applies to design — including awareness of generative image and video tools, AI-assisted workflows, and emerging best practices — with a thoughtful point of view on how these tools can raise the creative bar without compromising craft or brand integrity.

Senior Level Creative Assistant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level creative assistant job?
Employers at this level want candidates who can operate independently, manage competing priorities without close supervision, and support or guide junior team members. A portfolio that shows ownership of multi-phase creative projects carries more weight than a list of tasks. Demonstrating fluency with production workflows, asset management systems, and cross-departmental communication gives candidates a clear edge over those with similar tenure but narrower scope.
Which companies hire senior level creative assistants?
Companies hiring senior level creative assistants right now include HH Global, Amazon, and MrBeast, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from organizations with established in-house creative teams, agencies managing high-volume client work, and media or entertainment companies with ongoing production needs.
Are there remote senior level creative assistant jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by industry and employer. About 28% of senior level creative assistant openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broader workplace flexibility in creative fields. On-site roles remain common in production-heavy environments where physical asset coordination and in-person collaboration are part of the day-to-day scope.
What makes a creative assistant role senior level?
Senior level creative assistant roles go beyond task execution. They involve owning project timelines, coordinating across departments or external vendors, maintaining quality standards without direction, and often mentoring or reviewing the work of junior staff. The scope is broader, the accountability is higher, and the expectation is that you anticipate problems and resolve them before they escalate.
Which industries hire the most senior level creative assistants?
Senior Level creative assistant roles concentrate in Marketing & Advertising, Technology & Software, and Media & Entertainment, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors tend to sustain consistent demand because they operate large creative functions, produce high volumes of content or campaigns, and need experienced support professionals who can keep production moving at scale.
