We believe learning is the key to unlocking opportunity, and our mission is to discover, empower, and celebrate the next generation of global expertise. Join us in shaping the future of learning and workforce development! About the Role Degreed is looking for a Senior Creative Lead to help shape the next chapter of our brand. Degreed is at an inflection point. We have a strong product, a clear market position, and a leadership team committed to building a brand that matches our ambition in an AI world. We have an opportunity to evolve our visual identity and strengthen our creative capabilities to better reflect who we are and where we’re headed. This role is a genuine greenfield opportunity to help reshape the Degreed brand. This is an opportunity for someone energized by building, elevating craft, and shaping the future of a growing global brand. Reporting to the VP, Brand & Communications, you will lead the creative vision and expression of Degreed across every major brand touchpoint—from the website, campaigns, events, and digital experiences, to executive storytelling, social content, sales enablement, and thought leadership. You’ll lead and develop a small team of designers while partnering with freelancers and agencies as needed for specialist projects. You will play a key role in raising the bar on design quality, simplifying complex B2B ideas into clear visual stories, and using AI and new creative tools thoughtfully to improve speed, experimentation, and output. This is a role for someone who loves the craft as much as the strategy. You’ll be hands-on enough to art direct Tier 1 work yourself, experienced enough to lead and develop a small team, and curious enough to pioneer AI-enabled creative workflows that help great work happen faster and at greater scale. The balance will shift over time, but right now it’s roughly 50% doing, 30% leading, and 20% building systems. This is an opportunity to make a big impact: to help Degreed become more memorable, more human, and more recognizable in the industry.
