Role Purpose & Impact We're looking for a Creative Director to own the creative direction and evolution of the Druva brand across everything we make. This is the person who decides how Druva looks, feels, moves, and lands, from the brand system itself to campaigns, video, web, events, product marketing, and the stories our executives tell on the world's biggest stages. It's a rare combination of canvas and craft. You'll inherit a strong, growing brand in a category that's being reinvented in real time by AI, and you'll have the mandate to push it somewhere sharper and braver.

These are people who have genuinely rewired how they and their teams work, using AI to compress timelines, expand exploration, and kill the busywork, without ever letting the human craft, taste, and originality slip. We want more ideas and better craft, not faster sameness. This role reports to the VP of Corporate Marketing and is based at our Santa Clara headquarters on a hybrid schedule.

Evaluate, adopt, and responsibly govern AI tools across concepting, production, and iteration; establish clear standards for where AI accelerates the work and where the human hand is non-negotiable; teach the team to use these tools well. • Lead brand-defining creative moments , including product launches, category campaigns, flagship events, and analyst and customer storytelling, from concept through execution. • Serve a
