Creative Manager

About Seeking

Seeking is the world’s leading luxury dating platform, connecting ambitious, intentional people who value clarity, confidence, and hypergamous relationships. We sit at the intersection of aspiration and authenticity, helping individuals around the globe find meaningful connections rooted in desire, ambition, and alignment.

Our brand is bold, elevated, and forward-thinking—and we’re looking for creatives who can help bring that to life across every visual touchpoint.

Vision for the Role

The Creative Manager at Seeking is a hands-on leader who combines aesthetic excellence with organizational discipline. This role oversees the day-to-day operations of our creative department, managing people, projects, and output to ensure the highest level of execution across all marketing and product channels.

We’re looking for someone who leads with both vision and skill, who is able to mentor and motivate a team while also jumping in to execute when deadlines are tight or inspiration strikes. This is a collaborative, fast-moving role for someone who’s passionate about great design, luxury branding, and building a team culture based on trust, clarity, and creativity.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys managing a team while remaining actively involved in the creative process. It’s not a Creative Director position—this role requires hands-on execution and day-to-day operational leadership.

If you’re excited by the idea of shaping a global luxury brand through design, storytelling, and digital excellence, we’d love to meet you.
