  • Present and defend art direction to internal leadership and external clients, effectively decoding feedback into actionable creative tasks for the broader team
  • Navigate complex project constraints, including tight deadlines and evolving budgets by finding innovative solutions that preserve the integrity of the original vision
  • Manage multiple concurrent projects of varying complexity with precision and adaptability under pressure
  • Act as a primary mentor for junior and mid-level creatives, providing constructive feedback and fostering a culture of high-performance and continuous visual improvement
  • Implement advanced AI tools to supercharge the creative lifecycle, from generating comprehensive visual identities to rapid video asset creation
  • Infuse generative AI into client pitches and prototypes to create hyper-realistic product shots and fully realized campaign mockups that win new business
  • Proactively research emerging AI trends and tools, leading the team in ethical discussions and establishing best practices for AI usage within the creative department
  • Ideate and build effective stories that match the quality of each social platform
  • Excellent communicator who can confidently articulate ideas to others, from storyboard to final work
  • Design visually engaging presentations, create mockups & do light retouching as needed that help sell creative ideas to top clients in the industry
  • Work collaboratively with a large team of creatives from ideation to execution to help to ensure ideas are created and brought to life

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in art direction within a fast-paced agency environment
  • Portfolio demonstrating sophisticated creative thinking, nuanced typography, and expert-level composition across digital and traditional media
  • Experience presenting and working directly with clients
  • Comfortable working in a fast paced environment, and managing multiple projects at once

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
