Creative Director

Description

At Living Proof, creativity is how we turn breakthrough science and technology into a brand consumers desire, understand, and love. Our Creative team brings Living Proof to life across product launches, integrated campaigns, social, digital, retail, ecommerce, experiential, and always-on content.

We’re looking for a Creative Director to define and lead the creative vision for the next chapter of Living Proof. Reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer, this leader will build a distinctive, ownable, and elevated creative expression—rooted in our unique combination of superior science, technology, and performance while remaining modern, culturally relevant, and emotionally compelling.

The opportunity is to balance clarity with creativity: making what differentiates Living Proof immediately understandable while building desire, emotional connection, and brand love.
