Asana is looking for a Creative Director to join our team. The company is on a mission to design the future of teamwork, and our Creative Team is responsible for telling compelling stories about the power of collaboration, coordination, and productivity. We are a group of talented designers, writers, producers, animators, and filmmakers. Together we are showing people how people work gets done in more efficient, effective, and dare we say enjoyable ways.

The ideal candidate will be a player / coach – someone with experience managing people who is also comfortable with all aspects of creative direction for campaigns and advertising—from digesting the brief to concept development, to technical aspects of copywriting, design, and art direction. In this role you will manage projects big and small, collaborating with peers on the Creative Team and stakeholders across the company. Your work will range in size from performance ads and pre‑roll videos, to billboards and fully integrated ad campaigns. You will also lead a talented group of writers and designers (and sometimes even animators and filmmakers), making sure that everything is on brand.

This role is based in our San Francisco office with an office‑centric hybrid schedule. The standard in‑office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays. Working from home on Fridays depends on the type of work you do and the teams with which you partner.
