- Bring a strong creative point of view to design reviews – able to discuss not just the what, but the why behind every design choice.
- Maintain and evolve the MNTN brand system to stay modern, premium, and performance-focused.
- Balance vision with execution: knowing when to push creative boundaries and when to optimize for impact.
What you’ll bring
- 10+ years of creative leadership experience, ideally including time leading design or brand teams at a high-growth or public company.
- A track record of shaping a well-known brand and guiding it through moments of scale, transformation, or heightened visibility.
- Deep experience managing and mentoring designers and creative teams.
- Hands-on fluency in digital design tools (especially Figma) and an ability to “speak designer” while leading at a strategic level.
- A portfolio that shows taste, clarity, and the ability to make complex ideas feel simple and human.
- Experience partnering closely with social, content, and performance marketing teams to extend brand storytelling across channels.
- A strong understanding of how creative drives results, not just attention.
- A love of technology, advertising, and building work that performs as beautifully as it looks.
