What are the responsibilities and job description for the Executive Creative Director position at MOD Worldwide, LLC?
We’re MOD – a team of dreamers, doers, and boundary-pushers. We turn ideas into bold, unforgettable creative that drives results. Our creative department is where strategy and storytelling come together to make things that matter. With a team spanning Creative Direction, Strategy, Copywriting, Design, Film & Motion, and Engineering, we create experiences people remember – and talk about.
The Role
We’re looking for an Executive Creative Director (ECD) with vision, precision and serious creative chops. Someone who can rally a team of 30 creatives, wow clients and push the work further every time. You’ll lead by example – setting the tone, shaping the ideas and building a culture of excellence. You’ll report to the CEO and be a key player on our leadership team. This isn’t just about making great work – it’s about shaping the future of our agency.
WHAT YOU WILL DO…
Creative leadership
- Inspire and lead with energy, clarity and purpose
- Mentor and grow a high-performing team – from rising stars to seasoned pros
- Develop a strong, scalable creative structure that sets people up to do their best work
- Foster a culture where bold ideas thrive and top-tier work gets made
- Build and evolve our creative talent pipeline

Creative Oversight
- Own the creative output and process from concept to execution
- Uphold MOD’s aesthetic and creative standards across everything we touch
- Push for storytelling that’s compelling and clear – no matter the medium
- Champion consistency, clarity, and excellence—every time, on every touchpoint.
- Jump in when needed to shape ideas, write headlines, steer direction, and get the work where it needs to be
Client Relationships Strategy
- Develop deep, meaningful relationships with clients – they’ll trust your instincts and crave your ideas
- Be a creative partner in the room – whether it’s a pitch, workshop or review, you’ll represent MOD with confidence
- Translate business problems into brilliant ideas that move the needle (and maybe win awards)
- Collaborate with Account, Production, and Strategy teams to shape briefs, scopes and plan that set the team up for success
Why This Role Matters
You’ll be the creative north star. The voice in the room. The leader who inspires and elevates.
We’re not just looking for a title – we’re looking for someone who lives and breathes creative excellence and knows how to lead a team to deliver it again and again.
