Senior Art Director

The Role: Senior Art Director

We are seeking a conceptually strong, design-driven Senior Art Director to join our creative team, supporting a leading luxury automotive client across a portfolio of iconic brands.

As a Senior Art Director, you’ll bring strong visual thinking, exceptional craft, and big-brand ideas to a wide range of creative work. You’ll flex between developing original concepts and brand activations and evolving existing campaign ideas across channels, always ensuring the work feels considered, beautifully designed, and true to the brand.

Working closely with Creative Directors, Copywriters, Designers, and cross-functional teams, you’ll help shape creative from the initial idea through execution. You should be equally comfortable concepting a larger brand idea, developing an experiential activation, or finding a smart and visually compelling way to extend an existing campaign.

This is an opportunity for someone who genuinely loves brands, is excited by automotive and luxury, and brings energy and ambition to every brief.

Key Responsibilities:

· Creative Concepting: Develop original creative ideas and integrated campaign concepts that build the brand and connect with audiences across channels.

· Art Direction: Define and execute strong visual directions across brand, digital, CRM, social, experiential, and activation work.

· Brand Activations & Experiences: Concept visually distinctive brand experiences, events, partnerships, and activations that bring the brands to life in memorable ways.

· Campaign Evolution: Adapt and evolve existing global and campaign creative for the North American market, ensuring every execution maintains the strength and quality of the original idea.

· Design & Craft: Bring a sophisticated eye for typography, composition, imagery, and overall design, ensuring the work feels elevated and beautifully crafted.

· Creative Partnership: Collaborate closely with Copywriters and Creative Directors to develop ideas from initial concept through final execution.

· Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work alongside strategy, production, account, CRM, social, and other teams to bring creative ideas to life across multiple touch points.

· Presenting Ideas: Clearly communicate creative thinking and confidently present concepts and visual directions to internal teams and client stakeholders.

The ideal candidate will:

· Be a Conceptual Thinker: Able to develop a strong creative idea, not just execute against an existing one.

· Have Exceptional Visual Taste: Bring a refined design sensibility and a strong point of view on what makes creative work feel premium and beautifully crafted.

· Love Brands: Be genuinely interested in brand building and creating work that strengthens a brand world over time.

· Be Comfortable Flexing: Excited by both larger conceptual opportunities and the day-to-day creative needs of an integrated account.

· Be Highly Collaborative: Enjoy partnering closely with Copywriters, Designers, Creative Directors, and multidisciplinary teams.

· Bring Energy: Be curious, enthusiastic, and excited to get under the skin of the brands and the automotive category.

Qualifications & Experience:

· Experience in an Art Director role within a creative, advertising, or integrated agency environment.

· A strong portfolio demonstrating conceptual thinking, beautifully crafted visual work, and integrated campaign ideas.

· Experience across brand campaigns, experiential, activations, digital, CRM, and/or social.

· Automotive experience is highly valued, with luxury or premium brand experience also a strong plus.

· Experience developing work across multiple channels and formats, from larger brand ideas through campaign extensions.

· Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative creative environment across multiple briefs.

· We are open to strong Art Directors who are ready to take the next step into a Senior Art Director role.

· A degree of some sort will help us understand your background and point of view.
