Global Head of Creative

About this role

At Blue Bottle, our mission is to connect the world to delicious coffee. From seed to cup, we elevate the craft of coffee in everything we do. We strive to build a better tomorrow by investing in what matters: a sustainable future for our people, the company, and our planet.

About the job

We are seeking a visionary creative leader to join Blue Bottle Coffee's Global Brand Center of Excellence. Reporting to the Chief Brand Officer, the Global Head of Creative is responsible for defining, evolving, and protecting Blue Bottle's creative vision around the world. Through exceptional creative judgment, premium brand experience, and influential leadership, you will ensure every expression of the brand is unmistakably Blue Bottle while empowering regional teams to create work that is locally relevant and culturally resonant. As the steward of Blue Bottle's global visual and verbal identity, you will establish the creative direction for major campaigns, product launches, collaborations, and brand initiatives across five primary markets—the United States, Japan, Korea, Greater China/Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia—with continued global expansion ahead. Working closely with regional marketing and creative leaders, you will lead through influence, creating alignment across a matrixed organization rather than through direct authority alone.

Your work will span every creative touchpoint—from brand campaigns and digital experiences to retail, packaging, photography, film, and content. Beyond the creative itself, you will strengthen the Global Brand Center of Excellence by establishing creative frameworks, operating standards, governance, and ways of working that enable consistent, world-class execution while giving regional teams the confidence and flexibility to meet local market needs.

The ideal candidate brings exceptional taste, deep experience building premium consumer brands, and a proven ability to lead multidisciplinary creative organizations through periods of growth and transformation. You are an inspiring creative leader who earns trust through vision, collaboration, and craft, and you excel at leading through influence across diverse cultures, markets, and functions. Equally strategic and operational, you are comfortable shaping long-term creative direction while building the systems, teams, and processes that enable outstanding creative work at scale.   Employees are required to be based within 50 miles of one of the following established Blue Bottle Coffee geographic locations: The San Francisco Bay Area or Los Angeles
