The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Lionsgate is hiring a Creative Director in Norfolk, VA.

• Role description

  We're not after another portfolio with rounded corners and gradient blobs; Lionsgate wants a Creative Director who makes people stop scrolling in Norfolk. At Lionsgate, $129,000 - $178,000 buys a director seat, but 11 years of Stakeholder Management buys you the ownership that comes with it.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver pixel-perfect, production-ready files to engineering and print teams
  • Convert vague people-first adjectives from a brief into concrete, defensible choices
  • Defend a strong idea in the room, then refine it the moment data disagrees
  • Choreograph the handoff so nothing team-oriented gets lost between studio and dev
  • Reframe a rejected idea as the seed of the one that finally lands

  What You'll Bring

  • Solid Interaction Design grounding, plus User Journey Mapping you can pick up on the fly
  • Strong working knowledge of A/B Testing and InVision
  • Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
  • Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a freelance project
  • Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
  • Comfort steering creative conversations toward a decision
  • Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel

  What began as two engineers and a whiteboard in Norfolk is now Lionsgate, a customer-centric team obsessed with getting Affinity Diagramming right. Trust, transparency, and steady momentum are the three things we protect above all else.

  Pair your Usability Testing with our $129,000 - $178,000, our mentors, our benefits, and our flexible Norfolk, VA culture, and the math works in your favor.

  Candidates are being contacted promptly as part of our active search.
