Creative Director

About the role

4Creatives is looking for a Creative Director to lead a fully remote production team for a D2C creative agency. The role sits at the center of communication between clients and the internal team and focuses on making sure high-performing creatives and funnels are delivered every week for major German e-commerce brands such as Alpensattel, bedrop, HealthRoutine, and others.

You would be responsible for guiding a small team as if it were your own business, balancing day-to-day operations with strategic oversight. The position offers flexibility in how you organize your time, while still requiring clear ownership of delivery, team leadership, and client communication.

What you'll do

• Make sure the production team consistently delivers end-to-end each week, and step in when someone is unavailable.
• Keep the team aligned with operational performance targets and support them in meeting those goals.
• Brief Creative Strategists, give feedback on scripts and strategy, and provide direction for new clients and onboarding.
• Serve as the main contact for clients in Slack and lead recurring client calls.
• Act as the escalation point for cutters, content managers, and production assistants when they cannot resolve issues with their direct contacts.
• Monitor team capacity, identify when limits are being reached, and take ownership of hiring and onboarding new team members.
• Improve processes, projects, team development, and training on an ongoing basis.

Requirements

• At least 3 years of experience in performance creative, creative strategy, or paid social, ideally in a D2C agency or an e-commerce brand.
• Strong understanding of direct response ads and funnels, including the ability to write copy and judge what makes creatives and funnels effective.
• Solid operational skills and the ability to manage multiple clients, deadlines, and team workloads at the same time.
• Leadership ability without ego, with a focus on guiding the team instead of doing everything personally.
• Self-driven and highly independent, with the motivation to shape work proactively and continuously improve.
• Client-focused communication skills that are clear, professional, and solution-oriented.
• Team spirit and a good sense of humor, with a collaborative attitude and a strong performance mindset.

Benefits

• Above-average pay with the possibility of performance-based bonuses.
• 100% remote work with flexible scheduling and no micromanagement.
• The chance to build and run your own small business within the agency.
• No routine corporate work; the agency positions itself as a growth partner rather than a standard service provider.
• Fast decision-making and rapid testing of good ideas.
• A small, adaptable team with direct communication and a relaxed but goal-driven culture.

How to apply

Interested candidates should send a CV only, without a cover letter, and include a portfolio with case studies or examples. If the profile fits, the team will get back within a few days by email with the next steps.

Additional information

The role is described as 100% remote and full-time. The team emphasizes ownership, speed, and a hands-on approach, with the creative production function treated like a small business inside the agency.
