Creative Director, Brand Studio

Webflow is the agentic web marketing platform for modern marketing teams, helping organizations build, manage, and optimize high-performing web experiences that drive predictable growth and strengthen brand trust. Building at Webflow will need grit, because we move fast, without ever sacrificing craft or quality.

We’re looking for a Creative Director, Brand Studio, to help us build a brand that carries our lineage forward, from the early days of building on the web to the future of designing new worlds online. You’ll steward our brand’s evolution as we introduce Source by Webflow and bring it to marketing teams looking for a new home to run their business. More of Webflow’s brand will soon be made by marketers and AI agents, not only by designers. That makes the brand system the product. You’ll set the creative bar, own our biggest brand surfaces, and build the system that lets everyone else make work that is on-brand by default.

You'll lead a multi-disciplinary senior design studio of brand, web and motion designers who design and build digital and event marketing. You'll sit in Design, next to the teams that build the product like Webflow and Source. Expect to spend about half your time on craft: setting direction, running crit, and doing hands-on work. The rest goes to brand marketing strategy and to running the studio.

• Set the direction for Webflow’s brand: its identity, voice and story, across web, launches, campaigns, motion, events, recruiting and the product itself. Hold the quality bar and decide what ships. Lead by making when it matters: concepts, art direction and identity work for flagship moments.
• Elevate webflow.com http://webflow.com as our biggest brand surface. Partner with Growth, Events, and Marketing so it looks great, performs well and is easy for other teams to extend.
• Encode taste into our harness. Turn guidelines, templates, skills, and agents into a design operating system within our harness. Encode the reasons behind key decisions into self-serve paths that let non-designers make on-brand work, until most routine requests no longer need a designer. Run these tools like products, and run the quality loop: define “good,” set up reviews and evals for generated work, and send each gap back into the system.
