Creative Director, Flow Studio

Autodesk builds the tools behind the world around us. As Flow Studio evolves into a Design and Make platform, we are creating a new category at the intersection of AI, creativity, and storytelling. This role exists because Flow Studio sits at the intersection of product and culture, and we need a Creative Director who can define how the product shows up in the world, not just through campaigns but through everything we make.
What you’ll do

Define the creative standard for all content—ensuring it is both visually compelling and technically credible.
Establish a clear point of view on what “great” looks like for VFX-driven product storytelling.
Push the team beyond expected formats into more distinctive, category-defining work.
Lead creative direction across campaigns, product marketing, and always‑on social content.
Develop a distinct visual and storytelling language for Flow Studio.
Translate product features, especially AI‑driven capabilities, into compelling, human stories.
Partner deeply with marketing and product to ensure creative is grounded in real use cases.
Guide collaboration between technical artists/VFX, design and motion, editorial, and copy to keep work integrated.
Bring a strong point of view on film, storytelling, and content formats across platforms.
Build systems that allow us to produce high‑quality work at speed.
Continuously push the work to feel modern, relevant, and culturally aware.
Provide clear creative direction and actionable feedback.
Mentor across disciplines (design, VFX, storytelling) and build a culture of curiosity, ownership, and high standards.
What great looks like

Flow Studio work stands out immediately in a crowded AI and creative tools space.
Creative feels culturally relevant while staying rooted in the product.
We show, not tell; the product is visible, understood, and desirable.
Social content is as considered as campaign work.
Team delivers high‑quality work at speed without losing craft.
We consistently create work people want to watch, not skip.
What you bring

Strong portfolio across brand, product, and social content.
Experience in media, entertainment, or film—a strong plus.
Background in fast‑moving, content‑driven environments.
Ability to concept and execute, not just direct.
High taste level with attention to detail and storytelling craft.
Understanding of how AI is shaping creative workflows and output.
Comfort working across formats, including film, social, digital, and product storytelling.
Collaborative mindset with a bias toward making.
About the team

We’re building a fully integrated marketing and creative team designed for how modern products grow. High taste, high velocity, and a clear focus on impact. We believe the best creative comes from teams that care deeply about the product and move fast enough to keep up with it.
