Executive Creative Director
2 days ago
Patreon is a media and community platform where creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. Over 300k creators are cultivating fandoms and building their businesses each month. Creators can offer free memberships to fans looking to explore more of their work, paid memberships to give access to exclusive media and community, or sell directly to fans with Shops.
Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:
8B+ earned since Patreon's inception
30M free new memberships in the first year of launching that option, and
10M fans paying each month for exclusive access to creators' work and community.
We're continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator products with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for an Executive Creative Director to support our mission.
This role is based in New York or San Francisco and open to those who are able to be in-office 2 days per week on a hybrid work model.
About the RolePatreon is looking for a creative leader to oversee a centralized creative studio of concept, design, copywriting, motion and video. Patreon is a leader in building products and services on behalf of creators, and needs a leader to match that energy in crafting best-in-class marketing assets and launch materials for our creators to get in front of their fans. Reporting directly to the VP of Design, the Executive Creative Director (ECD) will lead the charge of creating a team culture that is obsessed with great, beautifully crafted and innovative work that celebrates the diversity and vibrancy of Patreon’s thriving communities.
Highly creative and self-motivated, you are able to conceptualize, visualize, and communicate your ideas to all stakeholders. You know how to manage the creative process and execute from brief to final delivery. This role will be instrumental in telling inspiring and motivational stories of Patreon creativity and fandom to help reach and deepen our engagement with new and existing audiences.
You get excited at the idea of building and leading a team of full-time and contract employees, you have an expansive network of creative people, and you’re able to execute bespoke projects on large budgets and scaled projects on scrappy budgets. You will have managed and inspired creative teams in an agency, social-savvy media company or within an internal client-side team. Importantly, you will continue to motivate this team to deliver creative excellence across different mediums, and you will constantly seek to elevate creative work to meet the ambitions of the brand while also delivering outstanding business results.
ResponsibilitiesDefine creative strategy, visual language, voice, and personality of Patreon’s creator-centric marketing creative, with a focus on awareness and integrated campaign work.
Manage a growing, decentralized team of creatives.

Partner with internal teams to develop strategies and deliver the best creative concepts and assets.
Use customer and data insights to inspire community and market-specific creative concepts.
Identify creative opportunities by understanding our audience, the competitive landscape, and industry trends to help differentiate us from competitors.
Manage overall quality of creative output and protect the integrity and expression of the Patreon brand.
Guide creative strategies, project roadmaps, and programs forward.
Help allocate creative resources and monitor project milestones and deliverables.
Recruit, coach, develop, and retain top creative talent.
Establish an environment that promotes creative brainstorming, innovation, and risk-taking.
