Role
Who you are
- This role is for a creative leader who knows how to set a vision and make it real, someone who balances taste with execution, and brand storytelling with systems thinking
- You’re an experienced brand or creative design leader with 5+ years of experience, with a sharp eye, strong taste, and a portfolio full of visually impactful work
- You have experience working in a fast-paced startup or SaaS environment, ideally with AI-powered products
- You’ve led design teams before and know how to balance direction, hands-on collaboration, and space for your team to thrive
- You’re fluent in both product and marketing environments; just as comfortable evolving UI design systems as you are crafting bold campaign visuals
- You’re obsessed with video as a medium and have examples of video work; whether brand, motion, or social, that show you know what good looks like
- You’re confident partnering directly with the CEO and other senior stakeholders, shaping a visual direction that aligns with company vision and drives brand impact
- You’re energized by storytelling and know how to turn ideas into compelling visual systems that inspire, connect, and bring others along with your vision
- You care deeply about consistency, detail, and craft; but know when to go lo-fi to test an idea fast
- You’re proactive, collaborative, and love working across disciplines to create something bigger than the sum of its parts
- You have a natural spark that brings energy and momentum to creative projects
- Even if you don’t have every skill listed here, we encourage you to apply. We value curiosity, drive, and the ability to learn just as much as existing expertise
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Creative Director to elevate and unify VEED’s visual identity across product and marketing, so every touchpoint feels bold, cohesive, and unmistakably VEED
- You’ll lead a small team of brand and motion designers, working closely with our CEO, product designers, and the marketing team to take full ownership of how VEED shows up in the world: across UI, campaigns, templates, and every visual touchpoint in between
- Your mission: empower our users to create the coolest videos on the internet, the kind that stop the scroll. From product moments to social posts, your work will define how people see, feel, and share VEED
- Brand Leadership: Define and evolve VEED’s brand identity, ensuring visual consistency across all channels and customer touchpoints
- Creative Direction: Oversee the conceptualization and execution for everything users and customers see; from marketing campaigns (web, social, events, brand assets), to the product UI (motion, layout, visual language), to the in-product templates and content that help creators make the best-looking videos on the internet
- Team Management: Build, lead, and mentor a talented team of designers, fostering a culture of creativity, collaboration, and innovation
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Marketing, Product, Growth, and Content teams to bring our brand to life at every step of the user journey
- Design Excellence: Ensure world-class execution with a deep love for the craft, ensuring every brand touchpoint meets the highest standards of creativity, detail, and visual impact
- Influence & Advocacy: Champion brand design across VEED, aligning it with business goals, influencing stakeholders, and acting as a brand guardian to ensure consistency, clarity, and creative ambition in everything we put out into the world
- Operational Efficiency: Establish scalable design processes, workflows, and tools, leveraging AI where it adds value, to enhance efficiency and collaboration across teams
- Next-Gen AI Fluency: You see AI not as a shortcut, but as a creative amplifier. We’re looking for a leader who’s deeply curious about AI’s evolving role in design, someone who can use its potential to streamline workflows, accelerate production, and unlock new levels of creativity across the team
- AI-Driven Content & Experimentation: Leverage the latest AI video generation tools and trends to empower creators, marketers, and small businesses to produce, repurpose, and scale video content. Stay ahead of what’s possible; prompting, editing, and storytelling, so VEED remains at the forefront of next-gen content creation
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Video is the fastest-growing form of content on the internet, with 78% of people watching online videos every week, and 55% every day. Editing video, however, remains a pain point for creators and marketers alike – who have to rely on bloated legacy platforms, the same tools used for feature films.
VEED is an online tool that aims to make video editing as simple as possible. With a user interface stripped down to the bare essentials, VEED allows creators and marketers to edit videos, add subtitles and credits, and share and distribute the end product. By specifically focusing on the needs of a social media-first audience, the founding team have created a product that integrates seamlessly with key platforms and can be used without training.
The platform has grown significantly since its launch in 2018, and now boasts hundreds of thousands of monthly active users, and month-to-month growth. The founders have ambitious growth plans for the coming decade as they build out their team and grow their user base to become the online video editing platform of choice.
