We're not just any content creation and motion picture equipment rental company; we're Scarab Digital, a creative powerhouse of innovation in digital production. Born from a desire to do things differently and strive to exceed creative and technological expectations, we've made our mark by transforming the visual storytelling landscape in the design of screen graphics, immersive virtual production experiences, and so much more.  

Our one-stop-shop approach, combining creativity with cutting-edge technology, has established us as a go-to partner for productions seeking to create compelling, visually stunning content.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We seek individuals ready to live "above themselves," embodying our core principles and contributing to our dynamic environment. Scarab Digital could be the right place for you if you align with these principles: 

Accountability: See It, Own It, Solve It, Do It. Become part of the solution.

Proactivity: Act now and always ask, "What else can I do?"

Excellence: Reject average and take personal ownership with pride.

Respect: For others and their feelings, showing others that you care.

Continuous Improvement: Ask for feedback by asking, "What coaching do you have for me?" and "What can I do better?"

If these principles resonate with you and you're ready to surpass average, let's see if you are the fit we seek. Your honesty in assessing your fit with our culture is crucial for your career and our company's success.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As the Creative Director at Scarab Digital, you will lead and inspire the design team to produce the highest-quality graphics within time and budget constraints. You will have a deep understanding of the story and aesthetic requirements of each production, providing clear feedback and direction to designers at key approval stages. Beyond leadership, you will actively contribute by conceptualizing, building, and animating graphics—either ahead of the team or stepping in when needed to support production work. In conjunction with the Playback Producer you will attend creative client meetings, collaborate on budgeting hours for motion graphics builds. 

Key Outcomes:

  • Deliver visually compelling, story-driven results that elevate Scarab Digital's reputation with clients.
  • Foster a culture of efficiency, innovation, and high creative standards within the team.
  • Ensure smooth department operations, maintaining a balance between artistic excellence and production demands.
  • Support growth and development of designers on as the creative team

Core Responsibilities:

  • Hands-on Execution: Step into any project when necessary to assist, refine, or complete designs.
  • Software Proficiency: Expertise in Illustrator, After Effects, Photoshop, Figma, Cinema 4D, and ProtoPie.
  • Art Direction & Feedback: Provide clear visual and written direction to the team, often supplemented with quick mockups to illustrate concepts.
  • Visual Communication: Quickly translate ideas into sketches, references, or motion tests to guide the team effectively.
  • Adaptability & Problem-Solving: Identify and develop creative solutions on the spot, adapting as conditions change.
  • Reference & Inspiration: Maintain a strong library of previous builds and external references to ensure clarity in creative direction.
  • Team Leadership: Providing briefings, check-ins, and discussions on departmental priorities.
  • Coaching & Development: Create development opportunities and support skills development within the creative team
  • Versatility in Style: Maintain a broad design vocabulary across different styles and time periods, seamlessly shifting between them as needed.
  • Design & Animation Expertise: Strong skills in graphic design, animation, and illustration.
  • High-Pressure Execution: Thrive under tight deadlines, ensuring high-quality work despite constraints

This role requires both creative leadership and hands-on execution, blending strategic oversight with an ability to dive into the details when needed. If you're passionate about pushing creative boundaries while maintaining operational excellence, this is your opportunity to shape Scarab Digital's visual impact.
