Lemonade is hiring : Creative Director in New York

Not your everyday company

Lemonade completely reinvented how insurance works. As a customer-centric tech company, we created an insurance experience that is smart, instant, and delightful.

At Lemonade, you'll be working with a group of like-minded makers, who get a kick out of moving fast and delivering great products. We surround ourselves with some of the smartest, most motivated, creative people who are filled with positive energy and good karma.

Unlike most publicly traded companies, we're nimble and efficient. We take pride in the fact that we still think and operate like a startup. We don't care much about titles and hierarchy and instead focus on innovation, bold moves, and challenging the status quo.

We're built as a lean, data-driven organization that relies on a common understating of objectives and goals to provide teams with autonomy and ownership. We don't like spending our days in meetings and we skip committees altogether. At Lemonade, there's no such thing as going over someone's head. We have zero tolerance for bureaucracy, office politics, and lean-back personalities.

As a Public Benefit Corporation and a certified B-Corp, we deliver environmental and social impact using our products and tech. Through our Giveback program, we partner with organizations such as the ACLU, New Story, The Humane Society, Malala Fund, American Red Cross, 360.org, charity : water, and dozens of others, and have donated millions towards reforestation, education, animal rights, LGBTQ+ causes, access to water, and more.

We're looking for a Creative Director who sees insurance not as a boring industry, but as an endless opportunity for groundbreaking creative. Someone who can turn legal disclaimers into poetry and make people want to talk about insurance at dinner parties.

This role is about transforming Lemonade's disruptive ethos into campaigns that truly shake up the industry and create cultural moments.

• Collaborate like your ideas depend on it (they do) : This individual contributor (IC) role is highly collaborative. You'll work closely with our in-house creative and design agency, product teams, PR, and executives to ensure every customer touchpoint feels unmistakably Lemonade
• Stay three steps ahead of culture : Monitor trends, predict what's next, and strategically position Lemonade at the forefront of conversations that matter to our customers
• Execute end-to-end with obsessive attention : This is a hands-on role. You'll manage projects from the initial spark of an idea through final delivery, ensuring every detail maintains our high creative standards
• Confidently pitch, present, and sell ideas to senior leadership and the executive team. You'll craft compelling narratives that not only inspire but also gain buy-in at the highest levels of the company
