Poolside is a Southern California creative agency focused on marketing for restaurants, hotels and other hospitality brands. We work closely with our clients and creative team to bring ideas to life through thoughtful design and clear communication.
We’re looking for a Creative Project Manager to keep projects moving from the initial request through final delivery. This person will connect our clients, designers and agency owners, making sure the team has the information, feedback and direction it needs to do great work.
The role
You’ll manage design-focused projects across client accounts. You’ll work directly with the owners, who set account priorities, client boundaries and scope. We’re looking for someone who can follow that direction, own the details and speak up when there’s a better way to organize the work.
You should have a creative eye and a background in design or experience working closely with designers. You won’t be the primary designer, but you should recognize strong visual work, identify inconsistencies and help refine projects before they go to a client.
What you’ll do
- Turn client requests into clear creative briefs with copy, assets, specifications, deadlines and approvals.
- Maintain ClickUp tasks with clear owners, priorities, due dates and current files.
- Coordinate timelines and workloads across projects and accounts.
- Communicate with clients about progress, feedback, decisions and next steps.
- Consolidate feedback into actionable direction for the creative team.
- Track revisions, approvals and delivery.
- Review work for brand consistency, visual hierarchy, readability and completeness.
- Bring scope changes and competing priorities to the owners before making new commitments.
- Suggest improvements to briefs, handoffs and workflows.
- Occasionally support shoot coordination with the team member who leads production.
What we’re looking for
- Experience coordinating creative or design projects and communicating with clients.
- A design background or equivalent experience, with a strong eye for cohesive, on-brand work.
- Strong organization, follow-through and attention to detail.
- Clear writing and confidence to flag issues early.
- A collaborative approach and familiarity with ClickUp or a similar platform.
Experience as a creative coordinator, design project manager or client-facing designer could be a good fit. We care more about your ability to do the work than a particular number of years in a title.
How to apply
Apply through Indeed with your résumé and a brief example of a creative project you helped coordinate, your responsibilities and how you kept it moving. You’re welcome to include a portfolio or work sample you have permission to share. A separate cover letter is not required.
Pay: $60,000.00 - $75,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- 401(k)
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
Work Location: In person

Tips for Your Creative Group Head Job Search
Lead your portfolio with campaign systems
Creative group heads are hired to run creative output at scale, so show campaigns with multiple executions across channels, not just one polished spot. Hiring teams want to see that you think in systems, not single ideas.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists creative group head openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Name your team size and direct reports
Your resume should state how many creatives you managed and whether you hired, mentored, or performance-managed them. Vague claims like 'led a team' won't hold up against candidates who list actual headcount and reporting structure.
Tailor your reel to the category
An agency focused on CPG wants to see packaged-goods campaigns, not fintech explainers. Pull together a category-specific cut of your work before applying to any opening so the reviewer sees relevant range immediately.
Prepare a creative brief walkthrough
Many interviews at this level include a live brief exercise or a request to walk through how you got from brief to campaign. Practice narrating your creative process out loud, including the client obstacles and trade-offs you navigated.
Negotiate title alongside scope early
Creative group head titles vary widely in authority across organizations. Before the offer stage, ask directly what the reporting line is and how many accounts or brands the role covers, so your counteroffer reflects the actual scope.
Creative Group Head Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most creative group heads?
Amazon, Apple, and Robert Half are hiring the most creative group heads right now, with openings concentrated in California, New York, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Agency holding companies and large in-house brand teams tend to post the highest volume of these roles.
How many creative group head jobs are remote?
About 66% of creative group head openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with remote arrangements more common for in-house brand roles than for agency positions that require frequent client contact. Integrated and digital-first creative teams are the most likely to offer location flexibility at this level.
How do you become a creative group head?
Most creative group heads start as a copywriter or art director, move into a senior creative or associate creative director role, and build a track of leading campaigns before taking on a group. Getting there faster usually means managing junior creatives proactively before it's formally your job, owning client relationships on major accounts, and building a portfolio that shows strategic range, not just executional craft.
Can you get hired as a creative group head without direct management experience?
It's uncommon but possible, usually at smaller agencies or startups where the role is newly created and the team is being built from scratch. If you lack formal management experience, your portfolio needs to show creative direction at a level that implies leadership, and you should be prepared to explain how you've informally guided other creatives, freelancers, or cross-functional partners on past projects.
What does the creative group head interview process look like?
Most processes run three to four rounds. An initial call with HR or a talent partner is followed by a portfolio review with a creative director or chief creative officer. Later rounds typically include a brief exercise, a team culture conversation, and sometimes a presentation to a client services or marketing leadership panel. References from past creative collaborators are commonly requested before an offer.
Where can I find and apply to creative group head jobs?
You can find and apply to creative group head jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your background and creative focus, and apply directly to each listing that fits.
