Requirements
• You have 7+ years of experience, with meaningful time in-house at a brand where you had to hold visual standards across channels without a large team or agency infrastructure doing it for you. You've art directed shoots. You've managed designers. You've been the person who catches drift before it ships. • You think in systems, not assets. You can look at a brief, a collab proposal, or a new product category and ask: what does the brand demand here? And then answer that question with conviction. • You have strong enough design instincts to give the design team real creative direction, not just approvals. You understand the difference between a brand-led product experience and a conversion-optimized one, and you know how to hold the former while respecting the latter. • You have working fluency in both graphic design and UX/UI contexts — enough to direct product designers meaningfully and hold the brand standard across digital surfaces, not just print and campaign. • You manage well. The team here is talented, detail-oriented, and tends toward caution. You bring clarity and creative energy without creating anxiety. You can make a decisive call and move on. • You have a cat, or you're genuinely willing to get one. This isn't a culture fit checkbox — it's functional. You'll be briefing, directing, and evaluating work about cat food, cat behavior, and the cat-owner relationship every single day. The feedback loop of living with a cat is real and it matters. • You're a communicator. You can write a brief, explain a direction, push back on a request, and present your thinking to a founder without hedging everything into mush. • You're comfortable being the operational creative center of the function. The CBO is a strategic leader who comes in for direction, taste, and high-level decisions. The day-to-day runs through you.
