Creative Director, Flow Studio  

Autodesk builds the tools behind the world around us. From the buildings we live in to the products we use, our customers design and make   what’s   next, and we power that work.     We’re evolving into a Design and Make platform, connecting the full lifecycle from idea to reality.   It’s   a shift from standalone tools to a more connected, intelligent system, and   it’s   changing how things get made.     Within Autodesk, Flow Studio is building a new category at the intersection of AI, creativity, and storytelling.  

Why this role exists  

Flow Studio sits at the intersection of product and culture. We need a Creative Director who can define how the product shows up in the world, not just through campaigns, but through everything we make.     This role requires a builder mindset. Someone who can create a distinct creative voice,   operate   at speed, and bring a level of craft that stands out in a crowded AI and creative tools landscape.  

What   you’ll   do  

Define the creative standard for all content—ensuring it is both visually compelling and technically credible   

Establish a clear point of view on what “great” looks like for VFX-driven product storytelling   

Push the team beyond expected formats into more distinctive, category-defining work  

Lead creative direction across campaigns, product marketing, and always-on social content  

Develop a distinct visual and storytelling language for Flow Studio  

Translate product features, especially AI-driven capabilities, into compelling, human stories  

Partner deeply with marketing and product to ensure creative is grounded in real use cases  

Guide collaboration between:   

Technical artists / VFX   

Design and motion   

Editorial and copy   

Ensure work feels integrated, not handed off between silos   

Bring a strong point of view on film, storytelling, and content formats across platforms  

Build systems that allow us to produce high-quality work at speed   Continuously push the work to feel modern, relevant, and culturally aware  

Provide clear creative direction and actionable feedback   

Mentor across disciplines (design, VFX, storytelling)   

Build a culture of:   

curiosity   

ownership   

high standards  

 

What great looks like  

Flow Studio work stands out   immediately   in a crowded AI and creative tools space  

Creative feels culturally relevant while staying rooted in the product  

We show, not tell. The product is visible, understood, and desirable  

Social content is as considered as campaign work  

The team delivers high-quality work at speed without losing craft   We consistently create work people want to watch, not skip  

What you bring  

Strong portfolio across brand, product, and social content  

Experience in media, entertainment, or film is a strong plus  

Background in fast-moving, content-driven environments  

Ability to concept and execute, not just direct  

High taste level with attention to detail and storytelling craft  

Understanding of how AI is shaping creative workflows and output  

Comfort working across formats including film, social, digital, and product storytelling  

Collaborative mindset with a bias toward making  

 

About the team  

We’re   building a fully integrated marketing and creative team designed for how modern products grow. High taste, high velocity, and a clear focus on impact. We believe the best creative comes from teams that care deeply about the product and move fast enough to keep up with it.
