About the Role

We’re hiring a Creative Director, Learning Content to own the creative vision for EasyLlama’s entire course library. This is a high-impact senior IC role reporting to our Program Manager, with responsibility for the look, feel, tone, and quality of every learning experience we ship.

In your first year, you’ll focus on three priorities: refreshing our brand and visual identity across the course library; driving a meaningful uplift in content quality through better storytelling, production value, and instructional design; and launching new content formats (video, animation, interactives) to expand how learners engage. You’ll lead portfolio-level creative direction across many in-production courses while also being a hands-on creative force yourself.

What You’ll Do

Creative Direction & Brand

• Define and maintain a cohesive visual identity and design language that scales across topics, formats, and learner audiences

• Develop and maintain content style guides tailored to specific industries (healthcare, finance, retail, tech) and learner audiences

• Write clear, thorough creative briefs that capture audience, objectives, tone, format, and visual direction so production can begin without back-and-forth

• Continuously refine style guides and QC criteria as the course library grows and learner feedback surfaces new opportunities

Hands-On Production

• Lead creative development of new formats including video, animation, motion graphics, and interactive modules

• Own the end-to-end production pipeline for multimedia content, setting standards and workflows that scale

• Drive hands-on creative work — concepting, scripting, storyboarding, art direction — while directing external vendors and contractors

• Actively use AI-generated media tools (e.g. Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Stable Diffusion (Stability AI), Runway ML (Gen-2/Gen-3), Synthesia, Descript, HeyGen, OpusClip, ElevenLabs, Suno AI, etc.) as genuine efficiency and quality levers, not novelties

• Continuously evaluate emerging tools and trends in content production

Quality & Standards

• Enforce rigorous production quality control at every stage of the content lifecycle, reviewing deliverables against defined specs before they advance or ship

• Own QA review of interactive course content prior to launch — verifying interactions, media playback, and UI elements function as intended

• Document bugs, inconsistencies, and UX issues clearly, ensuring they are triaged and resolved before content goes live

• Maintain and evolve a QA checklist and quality rubric that defines EasyLlama’s standard for production-ready content

Stakeholder Engagement & Performance

• Lead creative vision workshops with executive and senior stakeholders, translating high-level goals into production-ready briefs and creative frameworks

• Regularly review learner satisfaction scores, course ratings, and engagement data to identify what’s working — and what isn’t — and adjust creative decisions accordingly

• Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Instructional Designers, and Engineers on AI-assisted content production workflows

• Serve as the creative point of contact for Marketing, ensuring course content stays aligned with the EasyLlama brand

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of experience in creative direction, content production, or a related field, with a portfolio spanning digital media, video, and/or eLearning

• Proven ability to define and evolve a brand’s visual identity — you’ve done it before and have the work to show it

• Deep expertise in motion graphics/animation, video production, interactive design, and/or instructional media

• Experience authoring content style guides for multiple industries and learner audiences

• Disciplined approach to production quality control: reviewing content against spec, catching issues early, and holding the line before anything ships

• Experience leading creative teams or cross-functional project pods with a track record of shipping high-quality work on deadline

• Strong command of Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere, After Effects, Illustrator, Figma, or equivalents); familiarity with eLearning authoring tools (Articulate, Rise, etc.) a strong plus

• Hands-on experience creating content with AI-generated media tools (Sora, ElevenLabs, Midjourney, Pika, Adobe Firefly, or comparable platforms), with a portfolio to demonstrate it

Nice to Have

• Background in eLearning, workplace training, HR tech, or adjacent SaaS industries

• Experience fine-tuning or prompt-engineering AI models for brand-consistent output

• Familiarity with accessibility standards in digital content (WCAG, Section 508)

• Experience building a creative function from an early or formative stage

Interview Process

The interview process takes about 3 weeks and may include cross-functional stakeholders.

• Recruiter Screen

• Creative Interview (VP of Product)

• Hiring Manager Interview (Program Manager)

• Peer Interview (Senior Product Manager, Content)

• Creative Exercise

  • To be presented during the final (Executive) interview
