Senior Manager, Creative

The Senior Manager, Creative – Video & Photography at Docebo will lead the high-level vision, strategy, and creative direction for all video and photography initiatives across the brand. This role is responsible for shaping a global, scalable visual storytelling framework that drives brand elevation, creative innovation, and cross-functional alignment. Unlike tactical production roles, this position focuses on long-term creative strategy, investment planning, and global enablement ensuring every visual expression of the brand is compelling, consistent, and future-ready. The ideal candidate is a visionary leader with a deep understanding of visual storytelling, brand building, and enterprise-level creative systems.

To succeed in this role, you must bring a bold creative vision and a strategic mindset to every aspect of visual storytelling. You're not just producing content, you're shaping how the brand shows up in the world through video and photography. This role requires a high level of autonomy, creative leadership, and the ability to translate brand goals into scalable, globally resonant visual frameworks. You thrive in setting direction, building systems, and guiding others to elevate their work. A passion for innovative storytelling, a deep understanding of brand building, and the ability to manage creative investments wisely will help you lead the evolution of Docebo's visual identity across every audience and channel.

This role involves regular travel to customer sites, internal and industry events, and corporate offices.

• Investment Planning: Lead the planning and management of video and photography budgets. Prioritize investment based on business needs and brand value, and measure the creative and strategic ROI of key initiatives
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate with brand, product marketing, customer marketing, communications, HR, and other teams to ensure creative strategy aligns with key company priorities and audience goals
• Visual Ecosystem Development: Architect a flexible and modular visual system that supports brand evolution across regions, formats, and channels ensuring cohesion, scalability, and longevity in creative output
• Creative Oversight: Provide high-level guidance and mentorship to internal creatives and external partners to maintain elevated creative standards and inspire innovative execution
