GOLD HOUSE - Creative Director (Contractor)
*LOS ANGELES
https://goldhouse.org/job/creative-director-contractor/
The Opportunity
Gold House is seeking a fractional Creative Director to serve as the visual storyteller and aesthetic authority of our brand, responsible for how it is expressed across mediums. You will bring a point of view and set the creative vision that governs everything Gold House puts into the world: from flagship event design and campaign art direction to digital content, partner activations, and social-native creative. This is a senior creative leadership role that will partner directly with Gold House leadership, including our CEO, COO, and other senior leaders to ensure our look and feel is as compelling and consistent as our mission. The engagement begins at approximately 20 hours per month, with clear potential to grow into a full-time role as Gold House’s creative infrastructure scales.
What You’ll Do
Brand Direction & Visual Identity
Campaign & Content Creative
Events & Experiential
Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership
Note: looking for candidates with prior experience as a Creative Director or equivalent at an established brand, entertainment platform, media company, cultural institution, or agency with analogous clients
Portfolio required. Please include examples of brand identity work, campaign creative, and experiential or event direction in your submission.
What We’re Looking For
10+ years of experience in creative direction, with a portfolio that demonstrates sustained brand-building across visual identity, campaigns, events, and digital
Deep familiarity with brand expression across multiple channels and formats — not just digital, but environmental, experiential, and editorial
Exceptional visual taste and a strong, distinct creative point of view — you know what premium, culturally resonant creative looks and feels like, and you can articulate why
Fluency across design disciplines: brand identity, art direction, typography, layout, photography and video direction, and social/digital formats
Excellent communicator with proven ability to brief and direct creative talent — translating strategic intent into clear, inspiring creative direction
Skilled operator who can work with a lean team, move decisively, and produce high-quality direction without extensive organizational support
Genuine affinity for Gold House’s mission and deep respect for the communities, stories, and leaders we represent
Understanding of Asian Pacific cultural aesthetics, references, and sensibilities — and the sophistication to blend that fluency with broader cultural and mainstream appeal
A pulse on what’s happening across entertainment, fashion, music, art, and culture — and the instinct to translate that awareness into creative decisions that keep Gold House’s brand feeling current and aspirational
The Engagement
This role is structured as a fractional engagement — approximately 20 hours per month to start — designed for a senior creative leader who brings deep experience and operates with a high signal-to-noise ratio. You will be a trusted, visible partner to leadership, not a background contractor. The expectation is a genuine, ongoing creative relationship with Gold House: present for the biggest moments, available for direction on the day-to-day where needed, and invested in the long-term evolution of the brand. Compensation ranges from $125 – $175/hour, commensurate with experience, for an engagement of approximately 20 hours per month.. For the right candidate, this engagement is designed to grow. As Gold House’s content, studio, and marketing functions scale, the appetite for senior creative leadership will increase in kind. We see this as the foundation of a longer creative partnership — and, for the right person, the beginning of a full-time chapter.
