Creative Director

KAT & Company was founded on the belief that meaningful communication can create real change. What began as a mission to address critical gaps in access to health education has grown into a broader commitment to helping organizations connect with their audiences in ways that are clear, human, and impactful. Across video, social media, eLearning, and more, we create work that is grounded in purpose and designed to make a positive impact.

To create positive, lasting, and measurable change for our clients and the people they serve.

At KAT & Company, we believe creative work should do more than capture attention. It should connect, empower, and drive real change.

We are looking for a Creative Director who will lead our creative vision with both heart and precision. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who is just as comfortable developing big ideas as they are refining the smallest details. You will be the driving force behind our creative concepts, a key voice in our review process, and a mentor to our creative team.

We’re looking for a very specific hire: someone who leads comfortably, possesses abundant creativity, prizes collaboration, embraces flexibility over certainty, and is driven to create work that makes a meaningful, positive impact.

• Business Development Team to contribute creative strategy and insights for proposals and new business opportunities
• Chief Operating Officer to build, refine, and scale creative processes that improve collaboration, efficiency, and overall output

• Serve as the primary creative voice, ensuring all work reflects KAT & Company’s values of empathy, intentionality, and human-centered storytelling
• Develop/guide the development of original, effective creative concepts that drive meaningful engagement and measurable impact
• Ensure continuity of creative concepts across multi-deliverable and multi-year campaigns
• Serve as the final creative reviewer on key deliverables, providing clear, thoughtful feedback and making final decisions 
• Clearly communicate the thinking behind creative decisions to internal teams and clients
• Identify, vet, and manage freelancers and contract creative partners
• Continuously improve workflows, collaboration, and overall creative output

• 3 to 5 years of experience in a Creative Director or senior creative leadership role
• Proven ability to develop strong, original creative concepts and bring them to life
• Experience across video, design, digital and social media
• Demonstrated experience leading and mentoring creative teams
• Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to high-quality work
• Ability to actively contribute to creative work, such as writing, designing, editing, or directing
• Strong portfolio showcasing concept-driven creative across multiple formats
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• Experience prioritizing multiple projects in a collaborative, fast-paced environment
• Proficiency with creative tools such as Adobe Creative Suite
