Superette is DoorDash’s award-winning in-house creative studio. We create work that’s sharp, memorable, and part of the conversation, blurring the lines between brand and culture, storytelling and utility, entertainment and effectiveness.
We exist to build a brand people actually care about. One that shows up meaningfully across every touchpoint and earns its place in culture through creativity that hits hard and sticks. Our studio is stacked with some of the best talent in the game, and our ambition is simple: raise the bar with every brief.
In 2024, we were named the #2 in-house studio by The One Show and The Drum. DoorDash landed on Fast Company’s Brands That Matter list, US Weekly’s Top 50 Hottest Brands, and was ranked one of the Top 10 Most Creative Brands in the World by Cannes Lions. And we’re just getting started.
About the RoleWe’re looking for an ideas-first Creative Lead / Art Direction background. Someone who starts with a strong concept, not just aesthetics, and takes full ownership of the work from start to finish. This is a hands-on senior creative role for someone who wants to be in the work, not managing from the sidelines. You’ll be one of the senior creatives in the studio, shaping campaigns that move fast, stand out, and leave a mark on culture.
You have a sharp eye for visual storytelling and design. You know how to define the look and feel of a campaign in a way that’s both bold and cohesive. You’re just as comfortable working on large-scale productions as you are creating something powerful on your own. Big budgets aren’t a requirement for you to make something great; you’re proactive, hands-on, and always pushing the work forward. You don’t wait for the perfect brief, you understand the brand, spot the opportunity, and come up with smart, creative solutions that move the needle.
You embrace AI as a creative tool that expands what’s possible. You’ll collaborate with writers, designers, producers, and teams across Brand and Social to craft work that drives real business results while pushing creative standards forward. If you bring fresh, original ideas, obsess over craft, and want to create work people actually talk about, this role is for you.
You will report to our Co-Heads of Creative, Rafael Segri and Julio D’alfonso, within Superette, DoorDash’s In-House studio.
