TED is on a mission to discover and spread ideas that spark imagination, embrace possibility, and catalyze impact. Our organization is devoted to curiosity, reason, wonder, and the pursuit of knowledge — without an agenda.
We seek:
Curious learners: Individuals seeking meaning, growth, and understanding in a complex world
Builders and creators: People developing ideas, culture, and communities that advance human progress
Connectors and conveners: Leaders, educators, and community builders who bring others together around ideas.
Through talks, media, convenings, learning experiences, and industry-leading storytelling, TED influences how millions around the world think, learn, and engage.
About TED Brand Creative:
The Brand Creative team is focused on how TED’s brand, content, and experiences create a global platform for exchanging ideas and growing community.

You'll be the main link between Brand Creative and the rest of TED, keeping design, illustration, and motion graphics work moving smoothly. You'll report to the Creative Director.
We’re looking for someone who has deep expertise in creative processes and a proven track record of leading high-impact projects within creative agencies, in-house studios, or similar settings. This individual is a proactive problem solver, a strong communicator, and thrives in a collaborative environment.
