Creative Director

Untold Studios is hiring a Creative Director based in Los Angeles to lead creative output across a slate of high-caliber content production. This role sits at the center of the studio’s creative process, responsible for directing multiple projects simultaneously and setting the benchmark for quality across all visual and narrative output. It suits an established creative leader who has built a reputation in commercial, VFX, or branded content production and is ready to shape the direction of an entire studio.

About the Role

The Creative Director at Untold Studios operates across pitching, production, and client development, moving between project-level creative direction and studio-wide decision making. On any given day, this person might be shaping a pitch response for a high-end commercial, mentoring artists through a complex VFX-driven sequence, or representing the studio at an industry event. The role carries genuine autonomy, with the expectation that you direct your focus where your creative contribution is highest.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead creative direction across multiple concurrent productions, maintaining a consistent standard of quality from concept through final delivery.
• Drive the pitch process on high-value projects, developing treatments and creative packages that win work at the top end of the market.
• Build and maintain direct client relationships that generate repeat commissions and long-term creative partnerships.
• Mentor artists at all levels through active project involvement, offering guidance on craft, storytelling, and visual execution.
• Contribute to studio-level decisions on creative direction, culture, and the shape of Untold Studios’ production slate.
• Represent the studio externally through industry events, panel appearances, and contributions to trade publications.

What You Bring

• A substantial body of work as a Creative Director or senior creative in commercial production, branded content, or VFX-led projects.
• A demonstrable track record of winning and delivering projects at a high creative level, with client-facing credits to support it.
• Experience mentoring creative teams through production, with the ability to raise the work of those around you.
• The profile and network to represent a studio externally and attract new creative opportunities.
• Strong instincts across both visual storytelling and production workflow, with an understanding of how creative decisions translate into delivery.

Why This Role

Untold Studios has built a reputation around creative quality and a culture that treats people as its core asset, with genuine investment in individual progression through structured personal development plans. This is a senior role with real influence over where the studio goes creatively, not a position that exists to execute someone else’s vision. The salary range for this Creative Director role is $170,000 to $260,000.
