Art Director

Job Description

About the Role

We’re seeking an Art Director who isn’t just fluent in aesthetics, but obsessed with visual systems that shift perception, provoke curiosity, and unify cross-channel experiences. You’ll partner with writers, designers, motion artists, and product leads to shape narratives that are both creatively brave and commercially grounded. This isn’t a slide-polishing role — we’re looking for someone who can go from moodboards to motion comps, from sketch to shoot direction, and still show up with fresh energy for feedback sessions.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the visual concepting process from pitch to production for campaigns spanning digital, experiential, and out-of-home.
• Develop brand platforms that evolve identity systems while staying strategically on-brief.
• Lead creative reviews, providing clear direction to junior designers, stylists, illustrators, and production vendors.
• Translate abstract ideas into bold visual metaphors — whether through photography treatments, editorial design, or art installation mockups.
• Create storyboards for motion spots and set visual references for directors and editors.
• Ensure design coherence across formats, knowing when to break templates and when to enforce them.
• Push for unexpected formats — QR codes on produce, building projections, typographic interventions — and advocate for ideas that don’t feel safe.
• Partner with strategy and production to anticipate how concepts scale, budget, and land in the real world.

We’re Looking For

• 6–9 years of experience in design or art direction within a creative agency, editorial platform, or brand studio.
• A portfolio that shows conceptual thinking, not just surface polish. We want to see how you built an idea, not just how you wrapped it.
• Deep understanding of typography, grid systems, and spatial hierarchy.
• Hands-on ability with Adobe CC, Figma, and familiarity with motion tools like After Effects or collaborating in Notch/C4D workflows.
• Proven experience with photo and video shoots — from casting to set direction.
• Confident presentation skills and a sharp visual vocabulary; you can talk clients out of clichés without sounding like a snob.
• Curiosity for emerging formats — you notice how Gen Z treats Canva like a meme-generator, and you take it seriously.

Bonus Points

• Experience working on brand campaigns that intersect with architecture, fashion, or performance.
• Familiarity with generative design tools or AI-assisted creative workflows (e.g., Midjourney, Runway, DALL·E).
• You’ve worked with creative technologists and aren’t afraid of pixels doing unexpected things.
