About the role

Gamma is used by millions of people every day to create, teach, and persuade. But our brand is just getting started. As Creative Director, you'll build and lead Gamma's creative function while staying deeply hands-on as a designer yourself.

Your mandate is to take Gamma's brand from beloved prosumer tool to a platform trusted by Fortune 100 companies and solo creators alike. With 80% of our users outside the United States, you'll own how Gamma translates across cultures, languages, and business contexts, ensuring the brand resonates everywhere without losing its personality. You'll manage and grow a distributed design team, collaborate closely with a creative team of marketers, and bring cohesion and quality standards across time zones and disciplines.

Our team has a strong in-office culture and works in person 4–5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.

What you'll do

  • Design. Every day. Own creative output for Gamma's highest-visibility moments, from product launches and brand campaigns to enterprise sales materials — set the quality bar by producing the work, not just approving it

  • Manage and elevate a distributed design team while collaborating with marketers on campaigns and brand initiatives. Hire new designers as the team grows

  • Drive AI-first creative production by building repeatable workflows for ideation, asset production, and iteration across your team

  • Own Gamma's brand identity and visual systems across every surface: marketing, social, events, and sales collateral to scale the brand from prosumer delight to B2B credibility

  • Develop creative strategies that serve Gamma's full audience spectrum, from individual creators to Fortune 100 decision-makers, adapting tone and visual approach while keeping the brand cohesive

  • Build frameworks that let regional teams produce on-brand work at speed, and lead localized creative for key markets across AMER, LATAM, EMEA, and APAC

What you'll bring

  • 8+ years of creative experience at an agency or in-house brand-forward company, with a portfolio showing hands-on design craft and strategic brand thinking

  • Active, daily fluency with AI creative tools and a clear point of view on how they transform creative production

  • Experience managing distributed creative teams and collaborating cross-functionally with marketers, PMs, and product designers

  • Proven ability to hire and develop creative talent — you know what great looks like and can attract designers who raise the bar

  • Experience building brand creative across segments, from self-serve and SMB to enterprise, with an understanding of how tone and visual language flex for different buyers

  • A global perspective on design, with experience building localized creative programs or working with international audiences
