Brand Director

Job Description
HITT is seeking a Brand Director to lead the vision and execution of our brand across every touchpoint — from graphic design and visual identity to merchandising, creative strategy, and physical environments. This is a senior leadership role for a builder of brands and a developer of talent: someone who can both inspire a creative team and operate as a strategic peer and trusted advisor to the heads of Marketing and Communications.

The Brand Director will serve as HITT’s chief creative voice, setting the aesthetic standard and driving creative output that reflects our position as one of the nation’s top commercial builders. The Brand Director owns the full creative lifecycle — translating brand strategy into compelling visual experiences and ensuring consistency across every platform, campaign, and environment. They report to the VP of MarCom (Department Head) and lead a team of graphic designers, visual branding specialists, and merchandising professionals.

This role demands both strategic vision and executional excellence. The Director must be as comfortable presenting a brand direction to the executive team as they are diving into the details of a campaign or directing a photo shoot. They set the bar for creative quality at HITT, mentor their team to reach it, and continually push the brand forward.
