The Role:
SPACEPANDA is searching for a high-output Creative Lead to design products, craft engaging content, develop brand guides, and elevate our in-house materials. If you thrive on variety and want to take full ownership of creative output, this role is built for you. You’ll help shape SPACEPANDA’s visual identity while supporting some of today’s most followed visual artists.
You will be the creative backbone of our team, responsible for producing assets that represent our artists and elevate their brands. This includes product mockups, storefront visuals, ad creatives, email graphics, and print files across multiple releases and stores. You’ll oversee projects from concept to delivery and continuously improve internal processes for communication, transparency, speed, and efficiency.
You’ll directly support artists with organic audiences in the millions, including SamDoesArts, Lora Zombie, Loish, and Devin Elle Kurtz. Our creative standard matches that of our clients, and your work will be crucial to their continuing success, and to ours as a dynamic, artist-driven business.
This isn’t a narrowly defined job, and it is highly hands-on. It’s the creative foundation of a fast-growing company. You’ll be executing the work today to help us scale and, over time, build a team around you. It’s a Creative Director trajectory, no massive agency required.
If you seek predictability and rigid structure, this isn’t it. But if you’re ready to help build something significant from the ground up, we want to hear from you.
