We're looking for a Creative Director to lead a small but mighty team of Digital Designers embedded within Workato's Product Design team.

Your team sits at the intersection of product and brand — acting as the creative bridge between Workato's global product organization and its customers. You'll define and steward Workato's creative identity across a wide range of surfaces: from YouTube videos and conference decks to in-product illustrations, icons and documentation design. The work is varied, the impact is visible, and the standard is high.

This is a player-coach role. You'll manage the workload and growth of your team while staying personally hands-on with design work. A big part of what makes this role work is stakeholder management — you'll field inbound requests from across the company, align on priorities with leaders in product and marketing, and make sure your team's work lands well with the people it's made for. You're energized by both the people side and the creative side, and you understand that the best design managers are still great designers.

If you love working on complex visual problems, have a sharp eye for craft, and thrive in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment — you'll fit right in.

• →Lead, manage, and mentor a team of Digital Designers — owning their workload, prioritization, and professional growth.
• →Stay hands-on with design work: take on complex creative tasks directly, set the quality bar, and model the standard for your team.
• →Develop and evolve Workato's visual creative identity, keeping it synergetic with the Workato brand language and product design system.
• →Own the design and delivery of a wide range of content, including YouTube videos for Product Hour, presentation decks for customer-facing roadmap sessions and conferences, and digital marketing campaigns.
• →Own the design and delivery of in-product assets, including product illustrations, icons and Pendo guides.
• →Own the design and delivery of assets for Workato's product blog and documentation website — illustrations, GIFs for blog articles, visual assets for product docs pages, and the website design for our documentation site.
• →Manage stakeholder relationships across product, marketing, and leadership — fielding inbound requests, setting expectations, aligning on priorities, and ensuring your team's work serves the right goals at the right time.
• →Collaborate with Product Management and product-led growth teams across Workato's global workforce.
• →Participate in design critiques, iterate on feedback, and contribute to a culture of high craft across the broader Product Design team.
• →Keep up with industry standards and continually refine and innovate on Workato's product perception and creative language.
• →Own processes and streamline workload distribution for your team.
• →Use collaborative tools like Slack, Figma, Jira, and Adobe Creative Cloud to work closely with colleagues across different projects and time zones.

• Experience leading a small team of 2–3 digital designers.
• Experience creating a wide range of creative assets for tech products — videos, animations, icons, GIFs, illustrations, and presentation decks.
• A portfolio that demonstrates your skills across presentation design, videography, animation, illustration, and icon design. Experience in the enterprise SaaS space is a strong bonus.
• An extremely high bar for quality — you notice the details that most people miss, and you hold your team to the same standard.
• Strong stakeholder management skills — you're comfortable navigating competing priorities, communicating clearly with leaders across product and marketing, and advocating for your team's work with confidence and clarity.
• Strong communication skills — verbal, interpersonal, and written. You can give clear feedback, set expectations proactively, and represent your team's work to a wide range of audiences.
• Proficiency with Adobe Illustrator, After Effects, Figma, and Google Slides.
• Comfort working at pace in a fast-moving environment with competing priorities.
• Portfolio requirements: We're looking for a portfolio that demonstrates your skills in illustration, icon design, presentation decks, and UI design, along with examples of animation and videography.
