The Role
Before the deck, before the launch, before the applause, there's the idea, and VMware wants a Creative Director who lives at that first spark. Join VMware as a contract Creative Director and take real ownership of Iconography work while earning $107,000 - $150,000 and growing your craft.
Key Responsibilities
- Stage A/B variants that isolate one creative variable cleanly
- Keep the design-led brand promise intact while every channel demands its own dialect
- Reframe a tired product story until director stakeholders lean forward again
- Curate the reference wall that keeps a 10-person studio pointed the same way
- Collaborate with marketing, product, and editorial teams based in Chattanooga
- Develop creative campaigns that translate VMware's strategy into compelling storytelling
- Frame the design rationale so director approvers feel smart agreeing with you
What You'll Bring
- Hands-on Style Guides experience that survives a whiteboard interview
- Working understanding of both Typography and Collaboration in real-world settings
- The integrity to flag your own mistakes first
- The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
- A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
From our Chattanooga, TN office, VMware ships craft-obsessed products used by companies large and small. We move fast on Lottie but slow down whenever someone says they feel rushed past good judgment.
We provide $107,000 - $150,000, a wellness budget, retirement matching, and clear milestones for moving up to the next director.
