Associate Creative Director

Collier.Simon is an independent, full-service creative agency in the Los Angeles/Hollywood area. We work with our client partners to develop creative solutions that truly move the needle. Clients range from Fortune 500-type household names to up-and-comers across a variety of industries / verticals. We're in the midst of a tech-powered transformation, using AI to supercharge creativity, not replace it, and we're looking for curious minds excited to explore AI as a tool to scale, spark, and speed up creativity.

We're growing our creative team and are looking for an Associate Creative Director who can partner closely with a Creative Director on a range of fast-paced, high-impact client work, specifically a Tier 3 auto client.

This is a hands-on lead role—perfect for someone who thrives in performance-driven digital environments, loves building brands, and understands how to bridge creative storytelling with data-informed iteration. You'll work across brand platforms, digital activations, and high-volume creative for paid and organic social content.

You Might Be a Fit If You...

• Have 7+ years of agency or digital creative experience, ideally in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
• Have experience in Tier 2 or Tier 3 auto or similarly structured accounts with localization, dealer support, or platform-specific needs (a major plus)
• Are equally confident leading projects and getting hands-on with design, concepting, and creative problem-solving
• Can support and collaborate with a Creative Director—translating vision into execution, managing day-to-day team flow, and pushing work forward with clarity and care
• Are fluent in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere, After Effects)
• Understand the nuances of platform-specific performance creative—you know what works on TikTok vs YouTube Shorts vs Meta ads
• Are a systems thinker who can help build scalable creative structures without losing freshness or quality

What You'll Do

• Act as the creative partner to the Creative Director—helping lead concepting, execution, and presentation of creative across campaigns and content
• Mentor, guide, and inspire junior and mid-level designers, copywriters, and editors within your creative pod
• Translate creative briefs into smart, platform-native ideas, working across brand, performance, and content formats
• Lead reviews and approvals for creative across channels, ensuring consistency, clarity, and breakthrough quality
• Step in to design, concept, or revise when needed—this is a true player-coach role
• Work closely with Strategy,
