Overview
Creative Director
Location: Las Vegas, NV strongly preferred. Remote considered for exceptional candidates willing to travel regularly for projects, team collaboration, and events.
Reports to: Director of Sales & Strategy and CEO
Compensation: $100K-$150K, depending on experience
About Neato Neato is an ecommerce accelerator that partners with established CPG brands to own and operate their Amazon business. We purchase inventory, take full operational control, and deliver results where brands have historically faced chaos: reseller issues, margin erosion, fragmented partners, and Amazon complexity.
Our creative team is the engine behind how our brand partners show up—across Amazon listings, digital advertising, web, photography, and video. We produce elevated consumer brand creative at the pace and volume that ecommerce demands, without sacrificing quality.
The Role We're looking for a Creative Director to lead our in-house creative team and shape the visual identity of the brands we partner with. This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit back and art direct from a distance. You'll be hands-on: building systems, running projects, presenting to clients, and pushing the team to produce work that's both beautiful and effective.
You'll lead a team of 6-8 across graphic design, digital design, web, photography, and video production. About 60% of your work will be brand partner creative; 40% will be Neato's own marketing. You'll need to move fluidly between strategic client conversations and operational execution—translating brand goals into creative direction, then making sure the work gets out the door on time and on point.
Responsibilities
Lead and develop a creative team of 6-8 across design, web, photo, and video
Own creative strategy and execution for brand partners—from concept through delivery
Present work to clients, translate feedback, and bridge the gap between brand strategy and creative specialists
Build and refine creative operations: workflows, project management, component libraries, and design systems in Figma
Run multiple projects simultaneously across different teams without losing quality or momentum
Push the team to adopt modern tools—AI-assisted design, agentic image generation, platforms like Weavy—to increase output without increasing headcount
Collaborate with marketing leadership on Neato's brand presence across web, campaigns, and events
Set and maintain creative standards that balance premium quality with ecommerce velocity
Success looks like
Brand partners receive creative that elevates their presence and drives performance
The team operates efficiently with clear systems, not chaos
Creative output scales without proportional increases in time or resources
Neato's own marketing looks as good as the work we do for clients
Who You Are Required:
3+ years of experience as a Creative Director or equivalent leadership role
Background in design with agency experience—ideally at branding-focused or consumer-focused shops
Proven ability to lead teams across graphic design, digital design, web, photography, and commercial video production (not film—product and brand-focused content)
Strong client-facing skills: you can present work, take feedback, and translate between business objectives and creative execution
Deep Figma proficiency—not just design, but building component libraries, design systems, and leveraging Figma's newer features for scalable workflows
Experience running multiple concurrent projects across different teams
Strong creative strategy chops: you understand how brand positioning translates to visual identity and campaign execution
Preferred:
Experience with or genuine curiosity about AI tools for creative production—image generation, automation, workflow optimization
Familiarity with ecommerce or DTC brand creative and the pace it requires
Experience building creative operations infrastructure (not just inheriting it)
Comfort working in a growing company where you'll shape processes rather than follow them
Why you'll thrive
You want to build, not maintain. We're scaling our creative capabilities and need someone excited to create the systems, not just run them.
You're equally comfortable in a client presentation and a project standup.
You believe great creative and operational efficiency aren't mutually exclusive.
You're energized by variety—different brands, different categories, different challenges.
You see AI and modern tooling as an opportunity, not a threat.
Why Neato
Real creative ownership: You're not executing someone else's vision. You'll shape how brands show up and build a team that delivers.
Variety: Work across multiple CPG brands in different categories—not the same product shots on repeat.
Growth trajectory: We're scaling aggressively and creative is central to how we win. This role will grow as we do.
Modern approach: We're investing in AI tools, creative ops, and systems that let a lean team punch above its weight.
Compensation & Benefits
Medical, dental, and vision benefits
Equity opportunity once you achieve the Director level
Hybrid work environment, flexible hours, and room to grow
Work with top consumer brands and see direct impact on their Amazon success
Unlimited PTO policy
Neato is an equal-opportunity employer. We hire based on talent, skill, and potential—period. If you're great at what you do and excited about this role, we want to hear from you.
