About BRAVE Culture

At BRAVE Books, we’ve built a team of reliable, relentless high-performers who are loyal to the mission, driven to win, and selfless in execution. We hire individuals who show up hungry, take ownership, and grind with consistency — the kind of people who carry more than their share without needing the spotlight.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a highly adaptable, creative, and driven Creative Associate to serve as a utility player across the creative team. This role is intentionally broad and hands-on, designed for someone who is eager to plug into a variety of creative tasks while we identify and develop their strongest skill sets over time.

The ideal candidate is willing to do the work—whatever that work is—whether it’s brainstorming story ideas, editing copy, supporting design needs, organizing creative assets, or helping move a project across the finish line. You bring strong creative instincts and an eye for improvement, with the ability to look at existing work and identify ways to make it clearer, stronger, or more compelling.

This role is best suited for someone who is creative, humble, coachable, and hungry to learn. Someone who values progress over prestige and takes pride in being useful. You’ll work closely with the Director of Product Development and other creative leads, gaining exposure across disciplines while contributing meaningfully to the mission from day one.
