At Acquisition.com, we don’t just hire for open roles—we hire for
impact. If you’re exceptional at what you do and align with our core values: competitive greatness, sincere candor, and unimpeachable character, we want to know you.
Role
The Creative Director for Acquisition.com is the architect and guardian of our brand. This is not simply a content job, it's a strategic operator role responsible for building and protecting one of the most influential business education brands in the world.
You will be the connective tissue between Acquisition.com’s business priorities and how they translate into content consumed by millions. Your mission is to scale Acquisition.com’s voice into billions of impressions per year
while protecting our positioning rather than diluting it.
This means owning the strategy, story, systems, and standards that fuel the $100M Brand → Advisory Practice → Portfolio flywheel. You’ll combine creative instinct with data discipline, leveraging both human talent and AI-enabled workflows to create content that educates, entertains, and compounds brand equity.

Content Production & Execution
- Oversee pre-production planning and run-of-show for all film days.
