Senior Creative Director Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Billion Dollar Boy US is looking for an Associate Creative Director who brings
passion, confidence, leadership, and an obsession with craft to a team already
making waves.
As our Associate Creative Director, you'll sit at the intersection of brands and
culture - turning ideas into work that stops the scroll and actually makes
people feel something. You bring a sharp eye for both brand and creator,
blending visual identity and voice in a way that feels seamless, authentic, and
culturally relevant.
We're looking for a creative leader with a hunger for culture and creators, and a
relentless obsession with craft - someone who rejects the comfortable,
embraces the strange, and knows how to create work that earns attention.
You understand how ideas live across the entire advertising funnel, from social
insights and influencer communities, expanding into the full ecosystem. You
can spot the hook that makes something take off, while also thinking bigger -
tapping into subcultures, shaping narratives, and turning a brand brief into
something irresistible without losing the soul of the creator.
You know how to take a brief, dissect it, and translate it into clear, actionable
direction. You partner closely with Strategy, Account, and Production to shape
the response, then lead your team through execution - ensuring the work is
culturally relevant, emotionally resonant, and built to perform.
You'll serve as the senior creative lead with clients, leading a multidisciplinary
team across creative and production from concept through final delivery. You're
hands-on - breaking down briefs, setting direction, and elevating the work at
every stage.
Our creative north star is simple: reject the comfortable, embrace the strange,
and dominate the conversation. You lead your team to do exactly that.

Hours: Full time
Location: Hybrid / New York City
