​​About LegalZoom
LegalZoom has been providing accessible and affordable online legal services for over 20 years. Since 2001, we’ve helped millions of customers launch, run, and grow their businesses, secure their intellectual property, and protect their loved ones with estate planning documents.
As the industry leader in business formations, innovation remains at the center of all we do. LegalZoom employees are creative thinkers and problem-solvers who thrive on collaboration and embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion. Together, we’re working to make a positive impact on the world. 
​​Where we work
In an effort to foster a better work-life balance, LegalZoom is committed to a remote-first work environment. Our Austin, Beaverton, Frisco, LA Metro, and SF Bay Area offices allow our Zoomers to collaborate with teammates and offer special onsite events, lunches, and more. 
This position will be based in the Los Angeles area, but is 100% remote and is not required to come into the office.
Overview
LegalZoom’s Brand & Creative team is looking for a design-driven, message-minded Group Manager, Associate Creative Director (ACD) to help lead and scale our in-house creative team. In this role, you'll oversee a team of designers, a senior art director, a copywriter, and a video editor to bring our brand to life across ads, video, social, employer brand, internal assets, and more.

We’re looking for a creative leader who came up through art direction or copy but brings a strong eye for design and visual aesthetics. Your roots in advertising give you a sharp sense for concept and storytelling, but your experience extends beyond ads into building holistic brand systems. With strong in-house experience driving full-funnel campaigns, you know how to create cohesive, effective stories across every brand touchpoint. This role requires a balance of conceptual thinking, brand design, and team leadership.
Note: This is a people management role. Candidates must have experience directly managing in-house individual contributors.
You will
  • Lead the development of creative across advertising, social, video, email, internal comms, and employer brand—ensuring visual and verbal consistency across all touchpoints
  • Manage and mentor a team of designers, an art director, a copywriter, and a video editor; provide clear, actionable feedback to grow their craft and confidence, while also coaching them on how to navigate the organization, present their work effectively, and operate as strong, collaborative corporate citizens.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing channel teams, comms, partnerships, legal, and PeopleOps to deliver strategic creative that meets business needs and inspires action
  • Help shape and maintain our brand identity system, ensuring quality, consistency, and clarity across external and internal creative
  • Partner with channel leads and project managers to scope and prioritize creative work, balancing resources and timelines across a high-volume pipeline
  • Direct creative for photoshoots, video shoots, and asset production—with a working knowledge of how to produce content efficiently at scale
  • Bring fresh creative ideas grounded in insights, cultural trends, and platform best practices
  • Contribute to the team’s operations and growth—helping shape our processes, tools, and creative culture
    You have
    • 7–10+ years of experience in brand or creative roles—with at least 3+ years managing a creative team
    • Strong in-house experience; you’ve built creative across a wide range of formats, not just campaign work
    • A portfolio that shows strong brand storytelling, design craft, and cross-channel thinking (social, web, video, internal)
    • Ability to manage creative development from brief to launch—balancing vision, feedback, and execution
    • Experience collaborating with marketing, brand, legal, and comms stakeholders
    • A people-first leadership style—you build trust, grow talent, and create space for diverse voices
    • Experience directing shoots and working with editors, photographers, and/or illustrators
    • A systems thinker who values consistency and scalable creative solutions
