Was it fate that brought you here? Or maybe the eye for a transformative opportunity. We’re Pennebaker, a Houston-based branding agency with a reputation for big ideas. And we need an experienced designer with a knack for leadership, an aptitude for strategy, an instinct for execution, a flair for teamwork, and a hunger for breakfast tacos. Hey, you can’t change the world without breakfast tacos. Sound like you? Let’s talk.
What You Will Do
We’re looking for an Associate Creative Director who can juggle creativity and leadership with equal skill. This is a hands-on role—so you’ll be designing, brainstorming, and concepting as much as you’re directing. Your days will be spent doing things like:
Creating and Executing
Developing high-quality concepts and designs that meet (and exceed) the creative brief
Designing visual identities, brand systems, and UX/UI for web projects
Collaborating closely with our teams to bring campaigns and content ideas to life
Ensuring pixel-perfect design execution, whether for digital or print
Leading & Managing
Working closely with the Creative Director to ensure alignment on vision and execution
Overseeing and mentoring designers at all levels, guiding their creative and technical growth
Running creative briefings, leading critiques, and managing workflow for your team
Presenting ideas and campaigns to clients with confidence and clarity
Art-directing photo shoots, illustrations, and video projects
Keeping multiple projects moving while meeting deadlines (and keeping your cool)
What You Bring
Advanced skills in Figma, Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator
Strong grasp of UX/UI best practices
Solid understanding of print processes (bonus points for basic HTML5 knowledge)
The ability to think conceptually—both visually and verbally—with a copywriter
A track record of award-winning work and the ambition to keep growing
