Block, Inc
Creative Director - Social
Block, Inc, La Canada Flintridge, CA
It all started with an idea at Block in 2013. Initially built to take the pain out of peer-to-peer payments, Cash App has gone from a simple product with a single purpose to a dynamic ecosystem, developing unique financial products, including Afterpay/Clearpay, to provide a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our 47 million monthly active customers. We want to redefine the world's relationship with money to make it more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible.
Today, Cash App has thousands of employees working globally across office and remote locations, with a culture geared toward innovation, collaboration and impact. We've been a distributed team since day one, and many of our roles can be done remotely from the countries where Cash App operates. No matter the location, we tailor our experience to ensure our employees are creative, productive, and happy.
The Role
Cash App is seeking a visionary and hands-on Creative Director to lead our social media channels and drive the creative and creative strategy across all social platforms. This role is pivotal in shaping the brand's voice and ensuring that our content remains relevant, engaging, and aligned with our mission. You'll oversee organic and paid campaigns, guiding both in-house teams and external agencies, ensuring a world-class execution across our entire social landscape.
You'll lead the charge in creating experiences that stretch from polished, healthy-budget productions to reactive, fast-moving content that resonates with the pulse of culture. As a creative leader, you'll not only steer the team but will also jump into the work yourself, concepting, designing, writing and producing compelling content that elevates Cash App's social presence.
