Creative Director

Who We Are

Atlan is building the missing context layer for data and AI, helping enterprises close the AI value chasm. Today, 95% of AI pilots fail because AI systems don’t understand the context behind data: what it means, how it’s governed, and how it should be used.

Atlan connects to every part of the modern data and AI stack to unify this context into a single, shared layer that both humans and AI agents can rely on.

With Atlan, teams can discover, understand, and trust their data; build and collaborate on a shared body of knowledge; and activate that context across analytics, operations, and AI workflows.Trusted by global enterprises like Mastercard, Workday, General Motors, Unilever, Ralph Lauren, FOX, Nasdaq, and Medtronic, we’re backed by world-class investors including GIC, Insight Partners, Meritech, Peak XV, and Salesforce Ventures

Atlan is one of the fastest-growing companies in the modern data and AI stack — trusted by the world’s largest enterprises and loved by a community of more than 140,000 data practitioners.

In one of the noisiest categories in tech, we consistently punch above our weight. From unforgettable multi-channel experiences at industry events like Gartner’s D&A Summit, Snowflake Summit, and Databricks’ Data+AI Summit, to digital campaigns that shape how teams think about data and AI, Atlan’s creativity and execution make us stand out.

We’re now looking for a Creative Director to shape the future of how Atlan shows up to the world — evolving our brand identity for the AI era and building the creative systems that help us lead an entire category.
