Collier.Simon is an independent, full-service creative agency in the Los Angeles/Hollywood area. We work with our client partners to develop creative solutions that truly move the needle. Clients range from Fortune 500-type household names to up-and-comers across a variety of industries / verticals. We’re in the midst of a tech-powered transformation, using AI to supercharge creativity, not replace it, and we’re looking for curious minds excited to explore AI as a tool to scale, spark, and speed up creativity.

We’re growing our creative team and are looking for an Associate Creative Director who can partner closely with a Creative Director on a range of fast-paced, high-impact client work, specifically a Tier 3 auto client.

This is a hands-on lead role—perfect for someone who thrives in performance-driven digital environments, loves building brands, and understands how to bridge creative storytelling with data-informed iteration. You’ll work across brand platforms, digital activations, and high-volume creative for paid and organic social content.

You Might Be a Fit If You...

Have 7+ years of agency or digital creative experience, ideally in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
Have experience in Tier 2 or Tier 3 auto or similarly structured accounts with localization, dealer support, or platform-specific needs (a major plus)
Are equally confident leading projects and getting hands-on with design, concepting, and creative problem-solving
Can support and collaborate with a Creative Director—translating vision into execution, managing day-to-day team flow, and pushing work forward with clarity and care
Are fluent in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere, After Effects)
Understand the nuances of platform-specific performance creative—you know what works on TikTok vs YouTube Shorts vs Meta ads
Are a systems thinker who can help build scalable creative structures without losing freshness or quality

What You'll Do

Act as the creative partner to the Creative Director—helping lead concepting, execution, and presentation of creative across campaigns and content
Mentor, guide, and inspire junior and mid-level designers, copywriters, and editors within your creative pod
Translate creative briefs into smart, platform-native ideas, working across brand, performance, and content formats
Lead reviews and approvals for creative across channels, ensuring consistency, clarity, and breakthrough quality
Step in to design, concept, or revise when needed—this is a true player-coach role
Work closely with Strategy, Account, and Production teams to align on timelines, deliverables, and optimization cycles
Help develop and evolve visual identities, brand systems, content frameworks, and campaign ecosystem and toolkits
Stay up to date on platform trends, design tools, and AI-driven creative workflows, and help educate and inspire your team accordingly

Strong portfolio that includes brand campaigns, social content, and platform-specific performance work
The ability to think and create across dozens of brands

Comfort working with Account and Strategy to build briefs, interpret data, and iterate against performance feedback
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in design, communications, or visual arts
Experience with automotive accounts (Tier 2 or Tier 3) strongly preferred
