Creative Lead
Saint-Hubert, Quebec, Canada

  • Location: Saint-Hubert, Quebec
  • Type: Permanent
  • Job #18463

Job Title: Creative Lead

Location: Primarily onsite (just outside Montreal, transit accessible)
Salary Range: $90,000–$110,000
Employment Type: Full-time

About the Role

We are looking for a Creative Lead to own and elevate all visual expression across a design-led, lifestyle-driven brand. This is a highly creative, hands-on leadership role suited for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, multifaceted environment and is excited to push boundaries in a category that blends design, fashion, architecture, and lifestyle.

This role goes far beyond traditional creative execution. You will help define and evolve the brand’s visual language, lead high-end creative productions, and guide a small team of designers while collaborating closely with cross-functional partners. If you are an innovator who enjoys setting trends rather than following them, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and define the overall creative and visual direction across all brand touchpoints

  • Own art direction at scale, including photography, visual assets, and experiential design

  • Conceptualize and deliver a wide range of creative work, including catalogues, digital experiences, events, retail or showroom environments, and branded merchandise

  • Direct and oversee high-volume lifestyle photo shoots (approximately 18–20 per year), including pre-production, on-set direction, and post-production review. A bit of travel in Canada and US is required

  • Collaborate closely with photographers, creative partners, designers, and project managers to bring concepts to life

  • Lead and mentor a lean design team, fostering growth, collaboration, and creative excellence

  • Ensure visual consistency and high standards across both customer-facing and internal communications

  • Balance creativity with pragmatism by listening to leadership and key stakeholders while advocating for strong creative outcomes

  • Manage multiple concurrent projects, shifting priorities fluidly while maintaining quality and momentum

Creative Expectations

  • Strong eye for fashion, editorial design, architecture, interiors, and lifestyle aesthetics

  • Deep experience with lifestyle-driven photography, with an emphasis on storytelling over product-only visuals

  • Ability to confidently communicate creative vision and provide clear direction to photographers and creative partners

  • Comfortable working across diverse formats — from digital and print to environments and events

What We’re Looking For

  • 7+ years of experience in a creative leadership, art direction, or senior design role

  • Proven ability to lead creative direction while remaining hands-on

  • Experience managing and mentoring designers

  • Strong organizational and time-management skills in a fast-paced environment

  • High level of grit, resilience, and adaptability — curiosity and drive matter as much as raw talent

  • Ability to absorb and navigate multiple brands, projects, and creative priorities simultaneously

  • Comfortable working in a small-to-medium-sized company where versatility is essential

Work Environment & Culture

  • Primarily onsite role located just outside Montreal, easily accessible by public transit

  • Collaborative, tight-knit creative and marketing teams

  • Design-forward culture that values innovation, experimentation, and long-term growth

  • Opportunity to shape the creative future of a brand that prioritizes quality, aesthetics, and originality

If you’re a multifaceted creative leader who loves building beautiful things, setting trends, and guiding others to do their best work, we’d love to hear from you.

To recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory we reside on, and a way of honouring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial. Land acknowledgements do not exist in a past tense, or historical context: colonialism is current and ongoing, and we need to centre reconciliation in our actions and in our work. We encourage our team, partners, and clients to learn about the lands in which they live and to work towards reconciliation.
