If you've ever redesigned a cereal box in your head while eating breakfast, the Creative Director role at Citadel might be your natural habitat. Strip away the buzzwords and here's the deal — $121,000 - $176,000, temporary hours, and a creative team at Citadel that actually hands you the keys.


Key Responsibilities



  • Produce polished assets using Design Thinking and Design Sprints from concept through final delivery

  • Balance creative ambition with budget, timeline, and technical constraints

  • Stitch fragmented brand assets into a system that scales past Citadel's next phase

  • Grow a scrappy Design Thinking toolkit into a documented system the next hire inherits

  • Lead brainstorming sessions that surface bold, original ideas

  • Recast dry compliance copy as something a human might willingly read

  • Sustain a 11-week sprint cadence without letting the work go generic


What You'll Bring



  • A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback

  • A collaborator's reflex to share credit and absorb blame

  • 10+ years navigating the politics that creative work attracts

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • Calm under the design-led chaos a director role tends to generate


The team at Citadel is small, gloriously-unglamorous, and entirely convinced that Hot Springs is the best place to reinvent creative. Feedback flows in every direction at Citadel, from the newest hire to the people signing the $121,000 - $176,000 checks.


Open with $121,000 - $176,000, grow your Iconography under a mentor, lean on full benefits, and flex your hours the way grown-ups should.


No cobwebs here: this creative listing was confirmed open this morning.
