About The Company
Paleovalley and Wild Pastures were born from a simple but radical idea: real food can heal — people, animals, and the planet. When Paleovalley co-founders Autumn and Chas Smith saw how industrialized food was affecting human health and the health of the land, they refused to play along. Autumn’s own journey of healing through nutrient-dense foods lit a fire that became Paleovalley. From there, the mission grew roots, sprouted wings, and eventually expanded into Wild Pastures to bring regeneratively raised meats directly to families nationwide.
Today, Paleovalley crafts deeply nourishing snacks and supplements made with organic ingredients and honorable sourcing. Wild Pastures connects small American farmers practicing regenerative agriculture with customers who believe better food is worth fighting for. Every product, every partnership, and every decision is guided by a commitment to real ingredients, regenerative practices, and the belief that health is built from the soil up.
We’re a team of grounded doers, curious thinkers, bold builders, and warm humans who like to laugh while doing meaningful work. We're growing quickly, fueled by purpose and a shared desire to repair the food system one thoughtful choice at a time.
If you feel energized by impact, drawn to mission, and ready to join a company rewriting the future of food, we’d love to meet you!
About The Opportunity
Paleovalley and Wild Pastures is seeking an exceptional Creative Director to lead and shape the creative vision of our brands as we scale across direct-to-consumer, retail, and omnichannel distribution.

The Creative Director will guide brand expression across every customer touchpoint — from marketing campaigns and digital experiences to packaging and retail presence. This role partners closely with executive leadership and marketing teams to ensure the brand shows up consistently and powerfully across DTC, retail, ecommerce, packaging, and marketing.
