Associate Creative Director, Copy

About Mangomint

Mangomint is the platform salons, spas, and beauty professionals use to run and grow their businesses. Thousands of industry professionals rely on Mangomint every day for the workflows that matter most: bookings, payments, client communication, staff operations, marketing, business performance, and more. We’re already the highest-rated salon and spa software platform, and we’ve earned that position by building a product customers love.

We’re an ambitious and collaborative team that comes together in person every few months. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for high-potential, hard-working people who want to do the best work of their careers on a team that’s built to win.

About the Role

We're hiring an Associate Creative Director to run the creative for Mangomint and its sub-brands, managing continuity and helping steer their voices. This is a copy-first role for someone who still loves to write, but can also stand over a design or a cut and make it better. You'll own the words and provide direction on the visuals. You will not be a manager who forgot how to make things.

You'll report directly to the VP of Marketing. Together you'll help set the top-line creative vision, and you’ll be trusted to run with the majority of day-to-day decisions, with the VP there to help unblock you and provide air cover, not to hover.

You also aren't a one-person band. You'll work with a copywriter, a video team, Mangomint’s in-house brand designers, agency partners, and contractor support, plus a Creative Ops lead running traffic. Your job is to lead and elevate, not to be the only one making.

To be clear, this role is not :

A pure director role. If you're done making, this isn't it

A solo IC gig. You'll manage, mentor, and direct others

A performance marketing gig - we want creative, big thinking, and executions that resonate with our audience

A place to get that super bowl ad (yet 😉), we operate professionally-scrappy but with budgets

One flat brand. Mangomint has range — sub-brands and audiences with their own texture you'll have to hold together

In this role you will:

Own brand voice and copy across Mangomint and its sub-brands: campaigns, DMs, web, email, events, launches

Own art direction for video and design: you don't have to be the designer, but you have to have the eye and give notes that land

Own campaign creative direction end-to-end: concept, brief, kickoff, feedback, sign-off with support from the VP of Marketing and the internal Design org

Own quality bar for everything the Creative Studio ships. Living voice guides. Consistency without sameness. Channel-specific tone and language

Lead a Copywriter - direct report; you'll provide a balance of craft mentorship and the autonomy to get the work done

Lead a Sr. Video Production Manager: direct report; you'll offer creative direction and support with space to continue managing their team, content, and process effectively

Lead creative direction (not management) over our internal brand designer and our agency partners' output

You'll partner side-by-side with our Creative Ops lead, who runs traffic and process across the full marketing org, not just the Studio. You run the work; she runs the machine

What We're Looking For

A recently minted ACD, or a senior copywriter ready to step up. Hungry for sure. Experienced thought; that doesn't have to mean tenured. We're not looking for a 10-year CD who stopped writing five years ago

Fast and confident on the page. You can articulate why a line works, not just that it tested well. You understand channel-specificity and move cleanly between performance, campaign, and brand

Range across audiences and formats: B2B SaaS clarity, consumer warmth, editorial voice, and beauty and wellness industry knowledge is a plus

A real eye for design and video, even if it's not your primary craft

Basic AEO/SEO fluency — you understand the concept and how people search now, including AI answers, so you can have the conversation

Low ego. Hands-on, team-first, here to elevate the work and the people around you. Our team is autonomous and good; they need a leader, not a hoverer

What You’ll Love About Mangomint

Health, dental, vision, life & LTD insurance

Generous monthly wellness budget for gym memberships, yoga, etc.

Premium subscription to the Calm app & One Medical membership

Flexible and unlimited PTO

401k plan available (no matching)
