Creative Director - Small Business

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 great looks like

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

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

• Collaborative mindset with a bias toward making
