About the role

Block’s in-house creative team builds the brand platforms and campaigns behind Cash App, Square, and Afterpay. We’re hiring a creative director for experiential, spatial design, and activations to originate ideas that bring our brands into the world and lead them from concept through production and execution. This is a hands-on individual contributor role: you’ll shape the brief alongside creative strategy, lead project teams, and set the creative standard for experiences that connect with people and culture. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • A portfolio of experiential, spatial design, or activation work you led from concept through execution, showing original ideas, strong creative taste, and attention to the experience people actually have
  • Senior creative experience with a hands-on approach and a track record of setting direction and quality standards across a complex body of work
  • Deep knowledge of experiential production, vendor capabilities, and how to get complex work made without losing the creative intent
  • Experience independently leading cross-functional projects and presenting creative work to senior stakeholders
  • Sound judgment in ambiguous situations, with examples of solving problems, adapting to setbacks, and moving work forward
  • A collaborative, direct communication style. You challenge ideas respectfully and build trust with colleagues, agencies, production teams, and vendors
