Junior Art Director

Frida is looking for a Junior Art Director to join our Marketing team and play a key role in shaping how our brand shows up across campaigns, content, and culture. In this role, you'll partner closely with the Sr. Art Director to develop campaign concepts, build visual worlds, and bring them to life through photography, video, and design. You should have a strong point of view on visual storytelling, with a particular strength in photographic art direction, mood boarding, and translating ideas into compelling shot lists and on-set direction.

The right candidate is both a thinker and a maker, someone who can contribute to big ideas and execute against them with a high level of taste. You should be comfortable flexing across different tones and aesthetics, from premium brand campaigns to lo-fi, social-first content, and know how to build a visual approach that ladders up to the needs of each project.

• Maintain and evolve Frida's visual identity, ensuring consistency across photography, video, and design systems while pushing the brand forward
• Guide post-production and retouching direction, ensuring final assets meet a high bar for quality, taste, and brand alignment
• Bring ideas to life through hands-on execution when needed, with strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite—particularly Photoshop for compositing, retouching, and visual storytelling
• Collaborate cross-functionally with brand, marketing, and production partners to ensure creative work is both strategically sound and effectively executed
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, owning timelines and deliverables while maintaining a high level of creative quality
