THE ROLE

We're looking for a Senior Art Director who lives in the work. This is a hands-on, senior creative who can take an idea from spark to final asset without waiting for permission.


You won't be running a department. You'll be in the work - concepting, designing, producing, and presenting - while partnering across strategy, account, digital, content, and production. Your job is to turn complex business problems into creative that people actually feel across brand, digital, social, campaigns, web, and experiences.

The right person has elite craft, sharp ideas, and the production chops to execute. You're fluent in AI-powered workflows, and you know when to push an idea further and when to bring others in. One day you're pitching a big idea to leadership. The next you're perfecting type, cutting a social video, building motion, or testing a new AI tool to work faster and better.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Lead the Creative

Own concept development across brand systems, campaigns, digital, print, social, web, and experiential

Run projects end-to-end from brief to final delivery with minimal oversight

Turn strategy into visual systems and stories that move people

Present work with clarity and defend the thinking behind it

Build AI into your process - for ideation, production, and exploration

Keep us sharp on what's new in design tech and help us level up

Bring creative fire to pitches and new business

Make the Work

Create exceptional design across every channel: digital, print, web, social, decks, and campaigns

Generate multiple directions and iterate fast with feedback

Design websites, landing pages, and digital experiences in Figma

Craft high-stakes presentations for workshops and executive audiences

Produce motion graphics and animation that bring ideas to life

Edit short-form video for social and thought leadership

Deliver production-ready files for print, digital, and motion

Sweat the details: typography, composition, systems, and craft

Design with UX, accessibility, and responsiveness in mind

Collaborate with photographers, developers, illustrators, writers, and external partners to bring work to life

How You Operate

You're self-directed. You don't need someone checking in daily.

You own your work and finish what you start.

You balance big-picture thinking with getting your hands dirty.

You thrive in collaborative rooms but don't need constant direction.

You're curious. You're always learning, always testing new tools - especially AI.

You're organized and hold a high bar for quality on everything you ship.

You help manage timelines, scope, and deliverables

You oversee vendors, contractors, and collaborators

You make sure everything goes out on-brand, on-time, and on-strategy
