xFoundry is looking for a Technical Creative Director — someone who can own the visual identity and front-end execution of our digital platforms while working hand-in-hand with a fast-moving, collaborative team. This isn't a role where you sit in a corner and push pixels. You'll be embedded in a mission-driven group that builds bold programs at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and higher education.

You'll operate within an established brand system, but you'll be the person who makes it come alive across every digital touchpoint — from our main website to marketing campaigns, event collateral, and social content. You'll bring both a creative eye and the technical chops to ship production-quality web experiences without waiting for someone else to wire things up.

You'll have real ownership and creative latitude — but you'll also be expected to move fast, communicate openly, and show up as a dependable collaborator every day.

Creative direction and brand stewardship

Own the visual consistency and quality of xFoundry's brand across all digital platforms, campaigns, and collateral
Translate brand guidelines into polished, on-brand web pages, landing pages, social assets, email templates, newsletters, and event materials
Ensure every digital front door — website, sub-brands, partner-facing materials — feels cohesive, intentional, and premium
Develop and maintain a self-service brand package (fonts, logos, images, AI prompts, templates) that empowers the broader team to create on-brand materials independently

Front-end development and digital execution

Build and ship responsive web pages and interactive experiences using modern front-end tools (Webflow, Framer, or equivalent)
Implement micro-interactions, scroll-based animations, hover states, and tactile UI details that elevate the feel of our digital experiences
Work with CMS platforms to manage and publish dynamic content (experience with Webflow CMS, Airtable, or similar)
Handle light API integrations and data syncing workflows (e.g., Airtable → Webflow, webhook-based automations, third-party embeds)
Collaborate with the engineering team on front-end components that connect to backend systems (Postgres, REST APIs)

Event creative direction

Own the creative direction, A/V production oversight, and end-to-end visual experience for the annual summits and events, from stage design and environmental graphics to motion content and branded event assets
Advise the events team on venue selection based on A/V, lighting, and production requirements
Lead all Summit-related content across the event lifecycle: event website, promotional campaigns, live visual content, and post-event recaps and highlight packages

AI-augmented workflows

Leverage AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, DALL-E, Canva AI, Google Gemini, Notebook LM, etc.) to accelerate content creation, image generation, and design iteration
Evaluate and recommend new AI-powered design and development tools as they emerge
Help build AI-integrated workflows that reduce manual effort across the creative and marketing pipeline
Create and refine AI prompts that produce brand-consistent outputs for the wider team to use

Qualifications

*Portfolio Required: Applicants must provide a portfolio showcasing live, functional websites they have designed and built, as well as examples of visual assets across digital or print media
Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Web Design, Web Development, Computer Science, or a related field; or equivalent professional experience in visual development
3–5 years of professional experience in a creative/design role with strong front-end development skills
Proficiency in front-end technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and at least one modern no-code/low-code platform (Webflow, Framer, Plasmic, or similar)
Strong visual design sensibility — typography, layout, color, motion, and brand consistency
Experience working with CMS-driven websites and managing dynamic content
Comfort with light API work: connecting services, working with webhooks, integrating third-party tools
Demonstrated proficiency using AI tools in design and development workflows
Demonstrated proficiency using Adobe Creative Suite, or comparable design tools
