Art Director

We want someone whose Time Management and Adobe After Effects feel less like skills and more like reflexes in the Art Director seat at Strategic Advantage. Picture this: a freelance Art Director seat in Dallas, paying $143,000 - $187,000, where 10 years of doing the work earns you real say over how it gets done.

Key Responsibilities

• Grow a scrappy Adobe After Effects toolkit into a documented system the next hire inherits
• Storyboard motion pieces that hold attention past the three-second scroll mark
• Bridge the Figma vision and the Mobile-First Design reality without breaking either
• Hand engineering specs tight enough that the build matches the mock
• Lead brainstorming sessions that surface bold, original ideas

What You'll Bring

• Solid understanding of creative best practices and industry standards
• Demonstrated calm when a Dallas, TX client changes scope mid-stream
• Willingness to commute to Dallas, TX or work flexibly as needed
• Practical Mobile-First Design skills sharpened in a freelance setting
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, forward-thinking environment

The joyfully-rigorous founders of Strategic Advantage built it in Dallas to fix the exact creative problems that drove them crazy elsewhere. Around here, "I don't know yet" is a perfectly respectable sentence and often the start of something good.

Money matters, so we lead with $143,000 - $187,000; then come the wellness perks, the Mobile-First Design training, and hours you actually control.

Live and listening, the hiring team reads new applications as they arrive.
