We're looking for a Creative Director to help shape the future of Pok Pok If you love making things, have a great eye for interactive design, and know how to bring a creative team together around an idea, we'd love to meet you. You'll help guide a growing world of digital toys that encourage kids to explore, experiment and follow their imaginations.

About Pok Pok Pok Pok is on a mission to raise the next generation of creative thinkers. We're the team behind the Apple Design Award-winning Montessori app, Pok Pok, and were named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential Companies of 2025. Our award-winning digital toys and videos empower children to think outside the box, dream big, and explore their creativity in a mindful way. We believe screen time can be thoughtful, educational, and just as imaginative as the toys we grew up playing with on the floors of our living rooms.

Pok Pok is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. We encourage people of all races, religions, genders, abilities and sexual orientations to apply. We want the products we develop to reflect the diversity of the world we live in, and it starts with our own team.

About the Role Pok Pok is a growing world of open-ended digital toys for kids aged 2 to 8. Every toy is an opportunity to create something surprising, playful and meaningful, and we're looking for someone to help guide that creative work every day.

As our Creative Director, you'll lead the day-to-day creative direction of the Pok Pok app, working closely with artists, designers and developers to bring new toys and experiences to life. You'll work closely with and report to our VP of Product & Creative Strategy, who will continue to guide the broader product and creative vision.



You'll take ownership of bringing that vision to life, making creative decisions, guiding the team and helping shape how Pok Pok evolves.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who loves both making things and helping others make great things. You'll sketch ideas, guide design decisions, review work, playtest with kids and help the team find creative solutions to interesting problems. You'll also partner closely with our Producer to balance creative ambition with the realities of development.

We're looking for someone with strong creative instincts, a collaborative spirit and the confidence to make decisions independently while keeping the bigger picture in mind. You'll have the freedom to bring your own perspective to the work, challenge ideas and help shape how Pok Pok continues to grow.

This is a hybrid role based in downtown Toronto. We're looking for someone in the GTA who can join us in the office a couple of days a week.
