I wouldn't consider this a red flag. They could be restructuring or current members are transitioning roles.
Depends on a couple factors:
How many people are on the team and are they juniors? I wouldn’t expect my junior staff to have to interview candidates. In my current position, I only interviewed with HR and the hiring manager bc my team was still being built out and only the junior roles were filled.
How desperate are you for a job and is the pay good? You can always accept the job and continue interviewing elsewhere in case it doesn’t work out.
Is this client or agency side? Agencies tend to be extremely siloed, so a cross functional team wouldn’t at all be involved in the hiring process of another team. But if it’s a corporation, a cross functional interview may make a bit more sense if those teams are in constant communication and depend on one another
This happened to me and I later got the job. I think it was just an organizational thing at the time. Turned out to be a pretty good job. But I think that was better than what they do now which is like 3 panel interviews with everyone and their mom: account PM’s etc there just to interview a junior creative. Or idk, maybe there’s a better middle ground. But turned out ok for me.
