Art Director Job at Fourth Floor in Miami

Art Director / Graphic Designer (Confidential Beauty Brand)

Coconut Grove, Miami, FL (Hybrid)

Temp-to-Perm | Full-Time

Compensation: DOE (Flexible – Open to Range Discussions)

Start Date: ASAP (Target onboarding before April 22 launch)

A confidential, soon-to-launch beauty brand is seeking a highly creative and strategic Art Director / Graphic Designer to help shape and execute its visual identity ahead of a major Earth Day launch. This is a hybrid, temp-to-perm opportunity based in Coconut Grove, working directly with the Founder and Chief Brand Officer to build a refined, elevated, and system-driven brand world from the ground up.

About the Brand

This emerging skincare brand is built on one belief: The body already knows what to do — it just needs the essentials.

Launching on Earth Day (April 22), the brand prioritizes education, clean formulation, ingredient integrity, and ritual over routine. The aesthetic blends clinical credibility with editorial minimalism and modern apothecary energy.

The Role

This position requires both hands-on design execution and art direction oversight. You must be able to design daily, think systemically, and protect brand integrity at every touchpoint.

As the brand prepares for launch, you will lead the design and creative direction of:

• Educational, minimal informational assets
• Ingredient storytelling visuals
• Clinical data and formulation breakdown graphics
• Product reveal systems (including a 3-product ritual + hero SKU launch)
• Launch campaign creative
• Social media feed architecture + template systems
• Landing page and e-commerce visuals
• Pre-sale and launch materials
• Packaging support and scent storytelling
• Ongoing campaign refreshes post-launch

Design Language & Aesthetic Direction

The visual identity should reflect:

• Luxury restraint
• Editorial structure
• Texture-forward visuals
• Earth-tone palettes (stone, bone, sand, muted clay)
• Clean typography systems
• Intentional negative space
• Clinical but warm minimalism

Avoid:

• Over-designed graphics
• Trend fonts
• Loud color palettes
• Influencer-style glossy skincare aesthetics
• Fast-beauty energy

Key Responsibilities

• Build and refine brand design systems (grids, typography, spacing, visual hierarchy)
• Partner closely with Founder + Chief Brand Officer on campaign creative direction
• Execute digital and print design deliverables
• Maintain consistency across all brand touchpoints
• Translate scientific and formulation data into digestible visual narratives
• Create moodboards and art direction references for campaigns and shoots
• Maintain organized asset libraries and brand files
• Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing and social teams

Qualifications

• 3+ years experience in graphic design and/or art direction
• Strong portfolio within beauty, wellness, fashion, or luxury brands
• Exceptional typography and visual hierarchy skills
• Experience building brand systems (not just standalone social posts)
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, pre-launch environment
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Miami-based or willing to work hybrid in Coconut Grove

Bonus Experience

• Science-forward or clean beauty brands
• Packaging design
• Ingredient transparency storytelling
• Art directing shoots or campaign production

Interview Process

• NDA required prior to interviewing
• Please submit BOTH your LinkedIn profile and portfolio
• If advanced past the first round, you will be asked to:
• Provide 3 past projects aligned with this aesthetic direction
• Include a brief explanation of your role in each project

This is a rare opportunity to build a brand’s visual identity from inception through launch and beyond. Long-term growth potential available based on performance.

If you are passionate about refined design systems, ingredient-forward storytelling, and building a luxury brand with integrity — we would love to connect.
