Job Description

MSI Communications, Inc. is hiring a Creative Director in Anchorage, Alaska to lead the creative team and raise the standard across client work and every channel it touches. This is a senior leadership role at the Anchorage headquarters, built for long-term growth into a VP of Creative Services.

Creative leadership across channels

Own the creative product for every MSI client and channel, including brand campaigns, broadcast and video, digital, social, print, out-of-home, and web design.
Set the bar and run critique: push concepts beyond the first safe idea and keep work moving until it is ready.

New business and client-facing creative

Lead creative for new business through pitches, RFP responses, and spec work that helps win accounts.
Present creative as the agency’s voice: deliver ideas with conviction, take feedback, and return with work the client and the team can align on.

Cross-functional partnership

Partner with strategy, account service, PR, media, and video so ideas are grounded in what the client needs and designed to perform where they will run.

Department ownership and development

Run the creative department as a business: scope creative work, estimate hours, deliver within budget, know what the work costs, what it bills, and the difference between the two.
Mentor designers and art directors daily through critique and hands-on work, supporting growth across the team.
Build a recurring program to sharpen craft, concepting, and presentation skills throughout the department.
Represent MSI creative in the Anchorage business community, the industry, and in award competitions.
Lead by example, working alongside the team when deadlines require it, then returning focus to direction and oversight.

Requirements

10+ years in agency creative, including at least 3 years leading a creative team as a Creative Director, Associate Creative Director, or Group Creative Director.
A portfolio covering integrated campaign work across video or broadcast, digital, social, print, and out-of-home, including results you can speak to and a clear view of which parts were yours.
Craft credibility on at least one side: design and art direction, or copywriting and concepting.
Experience presenting creative to senior clients and leading creative in competitive pitches.
Experience managing the business side of a creative department, including scoping and estimating, budget and timeline management, and directing vendors and freelancers.
Working fluency with generative AI tools in the creative workflow, plus a point of view on where they help and where they do not.

Benefits

Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
