The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Honda is hiring a Creative Director in Kansas City, MO.

• Role description

  Somewhere in Kansas City is a designer who's outgrown their current sandbox, and Honda built this Creative Director role to be the bigger one. Few Kansas City employers pair $106,000 - $166,000 with this much creative autonomy, and fewer still ask only 12 years to earn it.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Knit copy and art into a single argument instead of two parallel monologues
  • Map the emotional arc of a launch video, beat by beat, before a frame is shot
  • Reframe a rejected idea as the seed of the one that finally lands
  • Translate abstract briefs into clear, mission-soaked visual directions
  • Distill a hour-long strategy deck into one image that survives the hallway test

  What You'll Bring

  • A MO sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
  • A portfolio that speaks louder than any line on your resume
  • 10+ years owning outcomes, not just completing tasks
  • 10 or more years steering creative projects end to end
  • The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
  • Familiarity with 3D Modeling and related tools or frameworks
  • 12 years of Usability Testing práctica, plus a hunger for what's next

  Founded in Kansas City, MO during a downturn, Honda grew results-oriented and lean while flashier creative rivals burned out. Our values show up in small daily choices, not just a poster on the wall.

  Honda offers $106,000 - $166,000 plus the autonomy to set your own schedule and the support to keep growing.
