For Samsara's Creative Team

Your brand
campaigns launch
faster when your
creative director
already builds with AI.

Samsara is hiring a creative leader who can scale design across B2B, lead a team, and push into new territory. Here's what that looks like from someone who's already there.

What Samsara Gets

Benefits that compound from day one

01

Your design team gets a director who's already led creatives through complex B2B campaigns — not someone learning management on your dime.

Twenty years of directing designers, photographers, illustrators, and developers across brand, marketing, and digital projects. Cross-functional leadership where the creative director bridges the team doing the work and the stakeholders who need it done right.

Proof: Art Director at Boomerang (23 years), Senior Designer / Team Lead at DUO Strategy — managing teams, mentoring juniors, owning client relationships and creative quality across hundreds of B2B and institutional campaigns.
02

Your AI initiatives move faster because your creative director already builds production AI systems — not just uses them.

There's a difference between someone who's tried ChatGPT and someone who's deployed an MCP server on Vercel, built 7 automated agent pipelines, and architected a full SaaS platform powered by Claude. The first takes a workshop. The second takes years you don't have to wait for.

Proof: AI4Love — a relationship intelligence SaaS platform for Canadian nonprofits. Production MCP server, 7 AI agent pipelines handling supporter analysis, campaign generation, and data visualization.
03

Your campaigns stay consistent across every channel because your director thinks in systems, not one-offs.

Design systems, component libraries, brand identity frameworks, visual guidelines — the infrastructure that lets a growing team produce at volume without the creative director becoming a bottleneck. From print collateral to digital product UI to social campaigns, the system holds.

Proof: Built componentized design systems with tokens mapped to frontend codebases. Delivered brand identity systems for government, healthcare, and institutional clients — all designed to scale beyond the original engagement.
04

Your team spends less time in handoff meetings because your director speaks both design and code.

When the creative director understands HTML/CSS, can read a codebase, deploys on Vercel, and works in GitHub — the gap between "design intent" and "what shipped" gets smaller. Fewer revision cycles. Fewer miscommunications. Faster time to market.

Proof: Hands-on with HTML/CSS, JavaScript, WordPress, Shopify. Ships to Vercel. Works in GitHub daily. Builds in Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Canva. Not a developer — but fluent enough to eliminate the translation layer.
A Candid Perspective

You can teach a senior designer your Figma token system in a week. You can't teach someone to build MCP servers and AI agent pipelines.

Tokenized design systems are learnable — they're process and naming conventions. AI fluency at the implementation level is a fundamentally different skill set. Samsara gets both: someone who will adopt your systems quickly and who already builds the AI tools your competitors are still evaluating.
