About the Role
Block’s in-house creative team builds the brand platforms and campaigns behind Cash App, Square, and Afterpay. This role originates ideas that bring our brands into the world and leads them from concept through production and execution, setting the creative standard for experiences that connect with people and culture.
Responsibilities
- Originate distinctive experiential, spatial design, and activation ideas across Block brands, creating new ways for people to encounter and connect with them.
- Own complex projects independently, from the first concept through production and execution, protecting the idea through the details of the finished experience.
- Shape briefs with creative strategy and cross-functional partners, connecting creative ambition to audience needs and business goals.
- Present creative work to senior stakeholders, explain decisions, and navigate feedback while preserving what makes the work distinctive.
- Work with agencies as an extension of the team, developing ideas and shaping the work together.
- Partner closely with production teams and vendors to bring ideas to life, making thoughtful tradeoffs, solving problems, and maintaining creative quality as constraints change.
- Raise the creative standard across teams through own work, constructive critique, and shared references and learning.
- Build and share better ways of working, including using AI for exploration, prototyping, and reducing repetitive production, applying own taste and judgment to what moves forward.
Requirements
- A portfolio of experiential, spatial design, or activation work led from concept through execution, showing original ideas, strong creative taste, and attention to the experience people actually have.
- Senior creative experience with a hands-on approach and a track record of setting direction and quality standards across a complex body of work.
- Deep knowledge of experiential production, vendor capabilities, and how to get complex work made without losing the creative intent.
- Experience independently leading cross-functional projects and presenting creative work to senior stakeholders.
- Sound judgment in ambiguous situations, with examples of solving problems, adapting to setbacks, and moving work forward.
- A collaborative, direct communication style, challenging ideas respectfully and building trust with colleagues, agencies, production teams, and vendors.
- A connection to culture that informs work, and experience helping others produce more original, thoughtful creative work through critique and shared learning.
- Submit application with a link to portfolio, including password if protected.
