Creative Director

At Tilt (formerly Empower), we see a side of people that traditional lenders miss. Our mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models look beyond outdated credit scores, using over 250 real-time financial signals to recognize real potential. Named among the next billion-dollar startups, we're not just changing how people access financial products — we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward.

At Tilt, we believe people are incredible — and we’re building a new credit system to prove it. Now we’re looking for a Creative Director to shape our brand soul and tell stories that resonate far beyond fintech. You’ll turn Tilt’s creativity into cultural impact, from a 6-second ad to a full manifesto, while inspiring teams and executives around a bold vision.

• Own Tilt’s narrative and visual identity across campaigns and channels.

• Translate cultural insights into brand stories that drive results and build equity.

• Develop creative frameworks that unify copy, design, video, and social.

• Mentor a multidisciplinary team, elevating the work from execution to ideation.

• Partner with leaders to balance bold creative leaps with operational excellence.

• Champion Tilt’s why, ensuring empowerment shines through every expression.

• 10+ years leading creative in agencies, studios, or in-house.

• Track record of building culturally resonant, business-driving brands.

• Strength in storytelling across copy, design, and video.

• Strong communicator who inspires teams and influences executives.

• Deep cultural fluency, especially at the intersection of money, empowerment, and identity.

Don’t meet every qualification? We care about potential over your past. If you're bringing ambition and drive to what we're building, we want to hear from you.

• Virtual-first teamwork: The Tilt team is collaborating across 14 countries, 12 time zones, and counting. You’ll get started with a WFH office reimbursement.

• Impact is recognized: Growth opportunities follow your contributions, not rigid promotion timelines.

We're looking for people who chase excellence and impact. Those who stand behind their work, celebrating the wins and learning from the missteps equally. We foster an environment where every voice is valued and mutual respect is non-negotiable — brilliant jerks need not apply. We're in this together, working to expand access to fair credit and prove that people are incredible. When you join us, it's not just another day at the [virtual] office, you're helping millions of hardworking people reach better financial futures.

You’re pushing ahead in your career? We can get behind that. Join us in building the credit system that people deserve.
