We're Hiring: Director of Strategy + Creative

Lead strategy. Build brands. Serve with purpose.

At Fervor, we believe bold strategy and great creative can move mountains—especially when it's done in service of something greater than ourselves. We're a Kansas City-based agency that partners with faith-led and purpose-driven organizations to help them clarify their voice, strengthen their brand, and grow their impact.

We're looking for a mission-minded Director of Strategy + Creative to lead the charge. This role is equal parts visionary, mentor, and practitioner—bringing together brand strategy, digital marketing, content development, fundraising prowess and creative leadership into one bold package. You'll guide our in-house and contract creatives, partner with our Client Services team, and directly shape the strategies that help our clients thrive.

If you thrive wearing hats—strategy, storytelling, and creative direction—and know how to lead with clarity, humility, and killer instincts... let's talk.

Requirements

• Write with conviction: You'll roll up your sleeves to craft brand language and strategy that helps faith-driven organizations lead with clarity, conviction, and growth.
• Lead the creative: Oversee creative execution across platforms—branding, digital, content, video, email, and campaign strategy. You'll guide the work, review deliverables, and jump in when needed to create
• Mentor and manage: Lead our team of designers, writers, and content strategists, providing feedback, accountability, and encouragement to help them thrive. We say LMA because we use EOS
• Think interdisciplinary: Content, copy, design, campaigns—you speak them all. You bring structure to complexity and clarity to clutter
• Inspire confidence: Present to clients, lead brainstorming sessions, and cast vision that moves ideas forward and drives client buy-in
• Partner for impact: Collaborate closely with our Client Services team to ensure client outcomes are aligned, activated, and always on mission.
