Senior Creative Director – DTC eCommerce (Whisky Library)

Senior Creative Director – DTC eCommerce (Whisky Library)

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Creative Director to own and drive the creative strategy for Whisky Library across paid and organic channels. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role focused on developing creative concepts, messaging, hooks, and content strategies that drive brand growth and customer acquisition.

You’ll be responsible for bringing strong ideas to the table, providing clear creative direction, and continuously improving our creative based on performance and market insights.

This is a collaborative individual contributor role, not a people-management position. We’re looking for someone who can operate independently, take ownership of the creative strategy, and work closely with the team to execute at a high level.
