Job Details

Sanity.io is the Content Operating system platform for structured content, the modern content management system that treats content as data, enabling teams to build content-rich experiences across any channel. We're on a mission to power exceptional digital experiences for the world's most ambitious brands, and we believe brand storytelling is central to that mission.

We're looking for a Creative Director to lead Sanity's brand expression across every touchpoint, digital, experiential, physical, and cinematic. You'll set the creative vision for Sanity, translating abstract ideas into stunning visual narratives and delightful interactions. From designing our web experience and swag store, to crafting immersive event environments and producing short films about our customers — you'll bring coherence, ambition, and taste to how the world experiences Sanity.

This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role for a multidisciplinary design leader who can scale creative output, inspire teams, and operate like a founder in a fast-growing company.

What you would do:

• Brand leadership: Evolve and steward the Sanity brand system to ensure it is consistent, bold and emotionally resonant across all channels.
• Web & digital: Lead the creative strategy and execution of our web properties — ensuring web, ads, emails, and off-line strategies resonate with our audiences and are unique and memorable.
• Brand experiences: Design and direct immersive brand experiences at events (owned and sponsored), from booth design to stage visuals to high production experiences.
• Swag store: Own the visual and experiential design of our swag store — making it an extension of our brand identity and culture.
• Video & film production: Oversee our film efforts, from short docu films, to customer experiences and manage a team of talented video producers.
• Team leadership: Manage and grow a small team of in-house designers, freelancers, and agency partners. Create clear processes for creative collaboration, design critique, and iteration.
• Creative Operations: Implement systems and rituals that enable creative to ship fast without sacrificing quality — including briefs, reviews, tooling, and documentation.
• Cross-functional partnership: Collaborate closely with marketing, product, developer relations, and leadership to bring the Sanity story to life.

About you:

• Based in: This role will be remote from the United States

• You have 10+ years of design and creative leadership experience ideally in fast-paced, product-led companies or creative studios.

• You have a multidisciplinary portfolio that spans brand, digital, physical, and video work.

• You're both a visionary and a doer equally comfortable setting the big picture and getting deep in Figma, Premiere, or even After Effects.

• You deeply understand how a brand shows up across web, marketing, and product, and you care about every pixel and every word.

• You've built and managed high-performing creative teams and understand how to nurture creative talent while driving execution.

• You're comfortable working in ambiguity and speed and thrive when given trust, ownership, and a blank page.

• You believe great creativity starts with listening to customers, to culture, to the weird and wonderful things people do with Sanity.

• Bonus: You've designed for or worked within developer-first or design-first platforms, and understand the nuance of communicating to technical audiences.
