About Us
Eskimi is a full-stack creative and media tech platform designed for brands, agencies, and publishers seeking more than just impressions. It combines a programmatic DSP, in-house creative studio, advanced audience targeting tools, customizable Media Packages, and a Monetization Suite for publishers. The platform powers attention-optimized campaigns with rich media formats and premium local inventory. Teams in over 30 countries provide on-the-ground support, offering valuable insights into local languages, cultures, and performance drivers.
At Eskimi, how we do things is defined by our strong desire to grow, a high sense of ownership, innovation, drive, and collaboration among our teams. With the Eskimi team spread across more than 30 countries and five continents, our global presence creates a dynamic environment that fosters diversity and inclusion.
YOUR TEAM & YOUR MISSION
Our Creative Studio is the brains and innovation behind every rich media banner that brings campaigns to life. As the team that conceptualizes and builds high‑impact banners for clients, our mission is to craft visually stunning and performance‑driven assets that truly stand out and work. This is where strategy meets creativity: by combining data and storytelling, we create banners that capture attention and deliver measurable results—from static visuals to complex interactive rich media formats optimized for client KPIs and user experience.
We are looking for a Creative Director to lead Eskimi's global Creative Studio, with a strong focus on data-driven creative strategy and innovation in programmatic formats. Build creative excellence, insights pipelines, and new rich media solutions that directly boost audience attention, engagement, and campaign results.
What You'll Do
- Collaborate tightly with Commercial, Product, AM, and AdOps to support market growth, unlock upsell opportunities, and plug creative strategy into the full customer lifecycle.
- Drive data-led creativity: Turn audience insights, performance data, and market signals into smarter concepts, formats, and recommendations for brands.
- Lead the Creative Studio (PMs, devs, designer, strategist) across regions, ensuring high-quality output and 24h turnaround for templated and semi-templated work.
- Own innovation roadmap: Lead development of scalable templates, interactive formats, automation, and experimental solutions (3D, dynamic content, etc.) to keep Eskimi ahead of competitors.
- Implement AI-assisted creative approaches: Use AI tools to speed up production, generate ideas, enhance designs, and test concepts, fostering a culture of AI curiosity and experimentation.
- Deliver high-impact custom work for top clients like Samsung, translating briefs into solutions that increase engagement, time-spent, and ROI.
- Build scalable production systems: Implement workflows, time-zone coordination, process optimization, and templatization to accelerate delivery and reduce friction.
- Champion the "Boring Is Expensive" narrative: Educate markets on how creativity influences media efficiency and results.
- Strengthen creative capability across teams through guidance, structure, and proactive alignment with leadership.
What Success Looks Like
- Data and AI is actively shaping creative decisions, not just informing them.
- Innovation output increases (new formats, new templates, new tech-driven workflows).
- Markets use more proactive creative solutions, not just reactive requests.
- Faster, clearer, more predictable delivery pipelines.
- Creative Studio positioned as a strategic driver of revenue and product differentiation.
What's In It For You
- Flexible work arrangements: Hybrid work models in cities with physical offices, and remote work options everywhere else. With our hybrid model, Eskimians enjoy Work Away Days—up to one month of fully remote work each year—and flexible schedules, typically beginning the day at 9 a.m. locally.
- Professional development opportunities: Grow with programs like Leaders Assembly for managers, mentorship programs for growing talents, regular learning sessions, and access to external consultants. Our internship programs also serve as stepping stones for career starters, often leading to full-time roles within the team.
- Recognition & rewards: Your efforts matter, so we reward contributions with bonus programs and Bonusly, our peer-to-peer recognition system that turns appreciation into points for gifts and vouchers.
- Additional perks: Private health insurance (location-dependent), volunteer days, and team get-togethers both online and in-person to foster meaningful connections in Eskimi.
- Take a day off to celebrate your birthday Everyone deserves to unwind and enjoy their special day, so we provide an extra day off just for your birthday.
