Entry Level Creative Strategist Jobs (NOW HIRING)

About Creative Spirit

Creative Spirit US is a 501c nonprofit designed to ensure equal employment opportunities for neurodiverse talent, connecting them with fair-wage positions at forward-thinking companies. Since its founding in 2017, we've utilized our coaching, mentoring, training, and job placement services to resolve unemployment. Ensuring neurodiverse employment is even more important now, as 1 in 5 people are neurodivergent (Neuroverse: Powered by Havas, 2025).

Thus far, we've had an almost 100% retention rate for all the clients we have helped find employment. But we're more than just a career coaching service, we collaborate personally with a wide range of companies and business leaders to help them reevaluate their hiring practices. Our goal is to change the status quo for job seekers who are neurodivergent, placing at least 1 million people in fair-wage jobs by 2030 as part of our #HireDifferent agenda.
