Creative Director

The Role

We’re expanding our go-to-market and creative efforts with a team based in San Francisco. We’re looking for a Creative Director who can define and lead the visual and creative voice of Comfy across model launches, product showcases, community storytelling, and brand moments that move culture.

This isn’t a role for someone who manages from a distance. You’ll be hands-on inside ComfyUI every day—building your own workflows, staying fluent in what the best creators in the ecosystem are doing, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with AI-native creative production. You’ll shape how the world perceives Comfy and set the standard for what creative work looks like in the age of visual AI.

What You’ll Do

Creative Strategy & Brand Leadership

  • Define and own Comfy’s creative identity for go-to-market — build a unified visual language across video, web, events, and campaigns

  • Translate ComfyUI’s technical power into emotionally resonant stories for artists, developers, and enterprise audiences

  • Own the creative brief process: concept, art direction, production, and final delivery across all channels

  • Partner directly with founders, product, and design to shape Comfy’s narrative and how it shows up to the world

ComfyUI-Native Production

  • Use ComfyUI daily as your primary creative production environment — building custom workflows for image, video, 3D, and motion output

  • Lead from the middle - Stay at the bleeding edge of new models, nodes, and techniques — test, adopt and evangelize new models, nodes, and techniques in ComfyUI

  • Prototype and share workflows with the wider Comfy community; model what “creative director as power user” looks like in public

Team & Ecosystem Leadership

  • Lead a team of designers, contractors and agencies

  • Amplify the ComfyUI creator ecosystem — identifying, spotlighting, and building creative loops around our most talented community members

  • Run creative reviews with high standards and constructive precision; keep quality bars high under tight timelines

Launches & Campaigns

  • Own the end-to-end creative execution for product launches

  • Create campaigns that resonate with a multi-layered audience: artists, filmmakers, developers, VFX studios, and enterprise teams

  • Develop showcase content that demonstrates how Comfy is adopted in real-world creative work

  • Collaborate with marketing and community to build campaigns that generate cultural momentum



Who You Are

  • You have shipped work in ComfyUI — real workflows, real output — and can speak to the craft with specificity

  • You have led creative teams as a Creative Director, Art Director, or Head of Creative at a recognizable company or studio

  • Your portfolio shows brand systems with multi-touch consistency and inventive storytelling across multiple formats: video, web, campaigns, brand identity, and motion

  • You have a strong point of view on visual aesthetics and can translate that into direction others can execute on

  • You are fluent in the broader AI content production pipeline: diffusion models, LoRA, ControlNet, video generation, and emerging tooling

  • You are proficient in professional creative tools (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent)

  • You thrive in a small, fast-moving team where everyone does a bit of everything — no waiting for approval, no playing it safe

  • You are highly organized, proactive, and can inspire and motivate collaborators under tight deadlines
