Premiere Collectibles | Nashville, TN | Full-Time | Senior-Level, Hands-On Creative Leadership
Creative leader. Hands-on designer. Video producer. Marketing-minded problem solver.
About Premiere Collectibles
Premiere Collectibles is a leader in authenticated autographed collectibles, partnering with some of the biggest names in music, entertainment, publishing, sports, and pop culture. We work directly with high-profile talent and their teams to create exclusive products and marketing campaigns that connect fans with signed collectibles from the artists and authors they love.
Our business moves quickly. One day we're launching a campaign with a legendary musician; the next we're developing a custom collectible, producing a celebrity video shoot, or building a pitch for a major partnership. We work on confidential projects with recognizable names, often long before they're announced publicly. Integrity, professionalism, and absolute discretion are essential.
The Role: A Creative Leader Who Actually Creates
Let's be clear: We're not looking for someone who just manages creative. We're looking for someone who makes it.
This is a senior-level position for a versatile creative professional who can personally design, edit, produce, and deliver outstanding work, while also leading and developing a small creative team.
You should be able to jump into Photoshop and create a great ad, edit a compelling video, build a polished business development presentation, develop a custom product design, or direct a professional shoot with high-profile talent. You'll combine strong traditional creative skills with emerging AI design and video tools to produce better work, faster.
You also need to understand marketing. Our creative exists to sell products, drive engagement, build brands, and generate revenue. You should know what makes someone stop scrolling, click an ad, and buy. You don't need to be a media buyer, but you should understand how creative affects conversion rates, customer acquisition, and return on ad spend.
This role is for someone who can balance creative excellence, speed, marketing performance, and hands-on execution , and lead a team to do the same.

2. Marketing-Minded Creative That Drives Results
- Create and optimize assets for Meta, Google, email, SMS, PremiereCollectibles.com, and other channels, in close partnership with our marketing team.

- Use metrics like click-through rate, conversion rate, customer acquisition cost, and ROAS to guide creative decisions.
