We focus on technical fabrics, functional design, and positive community impact while fostering an inclusive, growth‑focused environment for our team. Responsibilities Art direct global brand identity expressions across campaign, OOH, retail, digital, and beyond. Translate the Creative Director’s and Senior Art Director’s creative frameworks into rigorous, consistent executions. Apply and extend sophisticated brand expression systems: color field treatments, typographic hierarchies, graphic systems, and motion language. Drive concept‑to‑execution on assigned workstreams, partnering with copy, digital, retail, packaging, and strategy teams. Spot inconsistencies across work and the broader channel mix; flag them and propose solutions. Apply the Global Brand Identity design system with rigor across markets and channels. Contribute precise visual examples to brand guidelines and develop presentation materials that build alignment with cross‑functional partners. Use creative performance feedback to sharpen future executions. Partner closely with the Creative Director and Senior Art Director to deliver against the brand’s creative vision. Build strong working relationships across brand marketing, campaigns, product, and regional teams. Brief and review freelancers and contractors on assigned projects; elevate their work to standard. Manage personal deliverable timelines, production schedules, and creative milestones to ensure on‑time, on‑budget delivery. Bring exceptional typographic and compositional craft to every execution. Maintain a pulse on culture—design, fashion, art, sport, music, technology—and bring that fluency into the creative process. Contribute to a studio culture defined by high standards, creative curiosity, and collaborative generosity. Share knowledge and feedback generously with peers and junior team members. Requirements A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional typographic sensibility, compositional rigor, and the ability to execute coherent visual systems, not just beautiful one‑offs. Experience executing brand identity or expression systems for ambitious brands. A genuine and practiced eye for culture and the fluency to translate that into brand‑relevant creative decisions. Strong conceptual thinking: the ability to move from brief to idea, and from idea to a system of executions. Comfort working with freelancers and external partners, with clear and constructive creative feedback. A collaborative working style, generous with ideas and equally skilled at building on others’. Expert proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite; experience with motion, 3D, or emerging design tools is a plus. Strong presentation and communication skills: you can walk a cross‑functional audience through your creative thinking and make them feel what you see. Experience 6‑10 years of experience in brand identity, design, or art direction (agency, in‑house, or studio). Experience mentoring more junior creatives/designers preferred. Experience working on brands with national or global reach. A track record of executing creative at a consistently high standard across multiple channels. Experience contributing to or upholding design systems is strongly preferred. Must‑Haves Recognize the presence of choice in every moment and take personal responsibility for your life. Possess an entrepreneurial spirit and continuously innovate to achieve great results. Communicate with honesty and kindness and create the space for others to do the same.
