The Role
We're looking for a Creative Lead to join our NYC team in‑office. This is a senior leadership role on Loop's creative team that will partner closely with our CEO and Head of Marketing. You'll have Creative Director‑level ownership of the work in a hands‑on role for someone who can hold the line on craft while spearheading the kind of work Loop is known for. You'll lead creative end‑to‑end across social, campaign and digital work. Balancing big ideas with the executional rigor that makes them actually land. If the prospect of pushing an idea from zero to millions of impressions sounds fun, you're in the right place.

Please note all Loop roles require mandatory 4 days in office per week, working out of our DUMBO office in Brooklyn.
