About YOUNG Studio
YOUNG Studio is the creative engine behind every company, brand, campaign, and venture within the YOUNG ecosystem. We do not operate like a traditional agency; we build, support, and accelerate our own companies. Every website, social campaign, video, event, brand identity, presentation, product launch, and creative concept is developed with support from YOUNG Studio.
We are looking for someone to lead that engine—someone who thinks like an entrepreneur, takes ownership, and gets things done.
Your Mission
Build and lead a high-performing internal creative agency that supports the entire YOUNG ecosystem. You will be responsible for everything that leaves the studio—from strategy to execution, planning to delivery, and creative quality to operational efficiency. You will ensure that every YOUNG brand looks exceptional, communicates clearly, and moves quickly, while building a cost-efficient operation with strong processes, smart resource allocation, and scalable workflows.
What You Will Do
- Lead YOUNG Studio as the internal agency for all YOUNG companies and brands.
- Own the studio’s creative output, planning, priorities, and delivery.
- Oversee branding, design, social media, content, video, photography, and creative production.
- Develop and manage social media strategies, content calendars, and campaigns.
- Translate ideas and business objectives into strong creative execution.
- Ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and at a consistently high standard.
- Build efficient workflows and scalable production systems.
- Improve speed, quality, and cost efficiency across the studio.
- Manage internal talent, freelancers, agencies, suppliers, and production partners.
- Negotiate rates and control external production costs.
- Allocate resources based on impact, urgency, and business value.
- Introduce AI tools, automation, and modern creative workflows.
- Safeguard brand consistency across every company, campaign, and touchpoint.
- Create clear briefs, timelines, budgets, and responsibilities.
- Identify bottlenecks and solve them before they become problems.
Who You Are
You are equally comfortable reviewing a brand identity, improving a social campaign, managing a production budget, and restructuring an inefficient workflow. You combine creative instinct with commercial discipline.
Requirements:
- Experience leading a creative team, studio, agency, or internal agency.
- Strong knowledge of branding, content marketing, and social media.
- A clear understanding of how to grow and manage social channels.
- Strong project, production, and stakeholder management skills.
- Commercial awareness and a cost-conscious mindset.
- Experience managing budgets, suppliers, freelancers, and external partners.
- The ability to balance creativity, speed, quality, and efficiency.
- Experience building workflows, systems, and processes that scale.
- A strong interest in AI tools, automation, and modern content production.
- Excellent communication and leadership skills.
- A high level of ownership.
We Love People Who
- Take ownership and get things done.
- Think in solutions.
- Move fast without sacrificing quality.
- Think commercially and care about details.
- Challenge unnecessary costs.
- Build systems instead of creating chaos.
- Know when perfection matters and when speed matters more.
- Make the people around them better.
- See problems as opportunities to improve.
What Success Looks Like
- YOUNG Studio becomes the trusted internal partner for every company in the ecosystem.
- Brands receive better creative work, faster.
- Social channels become more consistent, relevant, and effective.
- Projects are properly prioritized and delivered on time.
- Production costs become more transparent and efficient.
- External suppliers are used strategically rather than by default.
- Workflows become scalable, repeatable, and AI-enabled.
- The creative standard across YOUNG continues to rise.
Where You Will Work
We hire talent, not locations. This role offers the flexibility to work remotely; however, close collaboration with the YOUNG team and founders in the Netherlands is an important part of the position.
- You must be willing and able to spend approximately one to two weeks per month in the Netherlands.
- Travel, flights, and accommodation related to these working periods will be fully covered by YOUNG.
What You Will Get
- A key leadership role within the YOUNG ecosystem.
- Responsibility for the creative backbone of multiple companies and brands.
- The freedom to shape YOUNG Studio’s team, processes, and operating model.
- The opportunity to build an internal agency from the ground up.
- Work across multiple brands, ventures, and industries.
- Direct collaboration with founders and senior decision-makers.
- A fast-moving and entrepreneurial environment.
- Significant ownership, autonomy, and room to grow.
- Competitive compensation.
- Fully covered travel and accommodation for required working periods in the Netherlands.
Is This For You?
This role is for builders who thrive on ownership and understand that creativity only creates value when ideas become reality. If you are looking for a role where you can wait for instructions, this is not it. If you want to build, lead, and continuously improve the creative engine behind an entire ecosystem, we would like to meet you.
