Creative Director

The empty page doesn't scare you; it's the most honest collaborator you've got, and Community Excellence Foundation wants that fearlessness in a Creative Director. Frame it as Community Excellence Foundation trusting your 11 years with $105,000 - $162,000, a creative mandate, and the room to grow into leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Turn rough briefs into polished Card Sorting deliverables the creative team can ship
• Bring concepts to life through motion, illustration, or interactive media
• Curate and art-direct a consistent visual feed across owned channels
• Own the full creative process from initial brief to final handoff
• Read the room mid-presentation and reorder the deck on the fly
• Support director designers through critique, mentorship, and shared best practices
• Hand engineering specs tight enough that the build matches the mock

What You'll Bring

• Director-caliber judgment about when to **escalate** and when to absorb
• The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
• 12+ years of Card Sorting reps, not just Card Sorting exposure
• A TX sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
• Clarity of thought that shows up in tidy documentation
• 10+ years navigating the politics that creative work attracts
• Calm under the quietly-relentless chaos a director role tends to generate

Everything Community Excellence Foundation ships starts as a bias-to-action argument in a Waco conference room about how Brand Identity should really work. We build psychological safety the boring way: by actually following through on what we say.

Compensation lands at $105,000 - $162,000, mentorship is built in, and the path from here to senior creative work is mapped, not vague.

Newly timestamped, Community Excellence Foundation keeps this director opening on the active board.
