The Role The Art Director leads idea generation and brings them to life across everything from brand campaigns to social content. You have strong design instincts, a clear point of view, and understand how creative actually works today - fast, platform‐specific, and constantly evolving. You’re as comfortable concepting big ideas as you are rolling up your sleeves to make them real.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Lead and collaborate with copywriters, strategists, and designers to develop integrated campaigns across digital, social, and traditional channels.
• Concept and execute ideas that are built for platforms - not just adapted to them.
• Design and oversee production of assets including social content, digital ads, landing pages, email, and brand campaigns.
• Bring ideas to life across formats - from static to video to short‐form content.
• Lead photo and video shoots from concept through execution - including fast‐turn, social‐first content.
• Contribute to video and podcast content creation, including editing, formatting, and platform optimization.
• Present work clearly and confidently, articulating the ‘why’ behind the idea.
• Maintain a high level of craft while pushing for fresh, modern creative.
• Leverage emerging tools and workflows, including AI platforms, to accelerate and enhance creative output.
• Mentor junior designers and help elevate the overall quality of the work.
• Partner with account and production teams to deliver high‐quality work on time.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in an agency or creative environment, with a strong portfolio of integrated work.
• Proven ability to concept and lead creative - not just execute.
• High level of proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma and similar tools.
• Comfortable using modern creative tools, including AI platforms as part of your workflow.
• Solid video editing skills (social cuts, podcast edits, pacing, sound, formatting for different platforms).
• Understanding of content production workflows, including video and podcast formats.
• Social‐native - you understand what works across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and evolving platforms.
• Strong design fundamentals (typography, composition, hierarchy) with a sharp eye for detail.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and move quickly without sacrificing quality.
• Confident presenter who can sell ideas internally and to clients
• Collaborative, proactive, and not precious - you iterate, test, and improve.

Nice to Haves

• Experience editing podcast/video content (Premiere, CapCut, or similar).
• Experience working with UGC creators or social‐first production.
• Familiarity with performance‐driven creative and iterative testing.
