Officially headquartered in the metro NY/NJ area, the Halo team works remotely across the U.S. and worldwide.
 

Company Overview

Designed by leaders in GPS, tracking, containment, safety technologies, and dog behavior, Halo was founded in 2018 and has become the first all-in-one dog safety solution to completely revolutionize our industry in over 30 years. With our multi-year lead over the competition, patented technologies, and unique industry expertise, we are pursuing the objective of becoming the world’s first “smart phone” for dogs.

Position Summary

The Creative Director will be an equal parts maker and strategist.

You'll manage a designer and outside partners, plus collaborate closely with a creative copywriter to bring ideas to life across every channel we touch.

This role sits at the intersection of brand, performance, and product — which means you'll need to be comfortable moving fast, thinking big, and making great work at scale.
