About the

As the fastest-growing Software as a Service (SaaS) company in history, Deel is transforming how global talent connects with world-class companies. In 2024 alone, we paid $11.2 billion to workers in nearly 100 currencies and provided healthcare and benefits to workers in 109 countries. Our momentum is reflected in our achievements: CNBC Disruptor 50, Forbes Cloud 100, Deloitte Fast 500, and repeated recognition on Y Combinator's top companies list, with a 4.83 average rating across G2, Trustpilot, Captera, Apple and Google.

We are building the brand and creative studio to match our growth. We make global campaigns, partnerships, film, design, and social at real scale. We're looking for a creative director who works at the front edge of AI-native production across video and design. Most AI creative work is technically impressive and creatively empty; we want to build the discipline in between. This is a hands-on role where you'll define how we make this work and prove it by making it.

What You'll Be Doing

AI-native creative: Work where generative tools are central to how it's made, at a standard the category hasn't reached.
The stack: Our AI creative tooling and the workflows around it, including the principles for where we don't use it.
Video and motion: Brand films, campaign work, and product storytelling that blend traditional and AI-led production.
A repeatable method: Something the rest of the team can use, so the capability outlives any one project.
You'll sit inside the creative studio and work alongside our Creative Director, the video and motion teams, and the brand designers who'll build on what you establish.
We're a studio, not a request queue. People here make things rather than manage from a distance. We use AI seriously, and we're deliberate about where we don't.

What You'll Bring

At least ten years across video, motion, or design, with direction as well as production.

Recent work made or directed with generative AI that stands up as creative work first.

Deep knowledge of the current tooling, and clear judgment about where it breaks.

Proven ability to build a workflow other people can actually use.

A point of view on likeness, disclosure, and provenance.

Nice to Have

A reel with range across live-action, motion, and generative work.

Experience establishing an AI practice inside a creative team.

A public point of view on AI in creative work.
