Role Overview:

We’re looking for a Creative Director to be the hands-on creative engine for our marketing team. This is a doer role: you’ll personally produce the work rather than oversee a large internal team. You’ll also manage outside agencies and freelancers when projects call for extra capacity. The ideal candidate has spent years in agency environments working on recognizable brands, knows how to move fast without sacrificing craft, and can shift between a board-level presentation in the morning and a video edit from a trade show in the afternoon. 

You’ll work closely with the CMO and other executives to maintain a consistent, polished visual identity across every format the company touches: investor and sales presentations, marketing collateral, the website and digital properties, and live events. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Design presentations for investor relations, sales, and internal communications, translating dense or technical content into clear, well-built decks 
• Produce marketing materials including sales collateral, one-pagers, brochures, and digital ad assets 
• Maintain and evolve brand guidelines, and act as the internal check on visual consistency across teams 
• Bring an enthusiasm for and understanding of AI tools to improve the creative workflow process 
• Lead the visual execution of events: trade show booths, signage, environmental graphics, and swag 
• Partner with corporate communications, technical writing and growth marketing to develop campaigns and materials 
• Oversee website and digital design work, including landing pages, email templates, and campaign assets 
• Manage video editing for corporate communications, social content, and event recap reels 
• Brief and manage outside agencies and freelancers on overflow or specialized projects such as photography shoots, video edits and website design 
• Partner directly with the CMO and executive team on high-visibility, fast-turnaround projects 

Basic (Required) Qualifications:

• 10+ years of professional design experience, including time at an agency working on well-known, established brands 
• A portfolio showing strong, versatile work across presentations, print, digital, and web 
• Fluency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere) and Figma; strong PowerPoint or Keynote skills 
• The ability to work independently, manage multiple projects at once, and execute without heavy creative direction from others 
• Based in, or willing to relocate to, the Houston or Austin area. ERock has a 2 day remote / 3 day in office-policy. An Austin based candidate will require 2 days per week in office with overnight accommodation. 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience designing for an investor or public-company audience 
• Background in energy, industrial, or infrastructure sectors 
• Motion graphics or animation skills 
• Shoot and edit photography for corporate, event, and facility use 
• Video editing proficiency (Premiere Pro or equivalent) for short-form corporate and social content 

Benfits:

• Competitive Pay
• Medical, Dental, Vision, and Prescription Drug Insurance
• Company-Paid Life Insurance
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• Health Savings Account (HSA) with a company contribution
• Wellness Programs and Incentives
• 401(k) Retirement Plan & Company Match
• Paid Time Off – Sick & Vacation Time
• Paid Holidays
• Hybrid Work Schedule!
