This job description is designed to attract a high-Caliber leader who can uphold the "topmost shelf" quality standards required for the Galaxy UX Studio restructure. It emphasizes the shift from traditional management to active, Agile-based creative mentorship and final gatekeeping.
Job Description: Creative Director
Company: Galaxy UX Studio
Role Type: Leadership / Creative Governance
Location: Remote
Experience: 10+
Reports to: Head of Studio
Role Objective
The Creative Director is the ultimate guardian of aesthetic excellence at Galaxy UX Studio. Your mission is to ensure that every visual asset and user interface design leaving the studio meets a standard of "nothing short of excellence". You will move beyond high-level oversight into active, hands-on mentoring within Figma files to drive the studio’s creative output to the highest global standards.
Key Responsibilities
1. Quality Gatekeeping & Final Sign-off
Final Approval Authority: Serve as the mandatory final approval point for all UI designs and visual assets before they are submitted to clients.
Excellence Standards: Ensure all deliverables represent "top-shelf" product UI delivery, maintaining the studio's reputation for premium quality.
Transparency: Identify and communicate design shortcomings internally to ensure the team catches gaps before the client does.
2. Active Agile Mentorship
Parallel Design Reviews: Conduct frequent, live reviews within Figma files during the design process rather than waiting for project completion.
Direction & Coaching: Provide specific, actionable creative direction to UI designers and senior UI designers to elevate their craft.
Skill Identification: Collaborate with the Operations team to identify creative skill gaps and recommend targeted training for the resource pool.
3. Cross-Functional Collaboration
PM Integration: Coordinate with Project Managers (PMs) to ensure final sign-offs are completed within the lead time window before client presentations.
UX Alignment: Work alongside the UX Architect to ensure that high-fidelity visuals are built upon compliant and logically sound UX foundations.
Strategy Sync: Partner with the Head of Studio to ensure the creative vision aligns with pre-sales promises and overall studio strategy.
Required Skills & Experience
Expert Visual Artistry: A portfolio demonstrating world-class UI design, visual systems, and brand storytelling.
Figma Power User: Advanced proficiency in Figma, including the ability to provide direction through comments, components, and live file interaction.
Leadership in Agile: Experience working in fast-paced, parallel-review environments where feedback cycles are tight and continuous.
Communication: Ability to provide critical feedback that is both direct and inspiring, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Output Excellence: Measured by the consistency of high-quality UI delivery across all studio projects.
Submission Pass Rate: Efficiency in getting designs to "client-ready" status with minimal rework required after the final CD review.
Mentoring Impact: Measurable upskilling of the generic resource pool as reflected in the "Skill Growth Index."
Lead-Time Adherence: Success in maintaining review protocol in coordination with PMs.
