iRESTORE is hiring: Sr. Art Director in Los Angeles

iRESTORE, Los Angeles, CA, USA

Job type: Freelance


About iRESTORE
iRESTORE is a fast-growing company dedicated to providing innovative solutions in the wellness and beauty space. Our mission is to restore confidence by providing safe and effective solutions for improving health and beauty. As we continue to scale, we are looking for a Sr. Art Director who will play a key role in supporting our people operations and ensuring a seamless employee experience across the organization.

About The Position
As we scale output, brand consistency and creative quality cannot depend on manual effort alone.

The Head of Creative & Content Production owns the content engine.

This role exists to own the brand execution layer and build an AI-assisted production system in partnership with the Head of Creative & Content Production. You are responsible for:

Elevating visual standards

Building modular design systems

Integrating AI into design workflows

Increasing output without increasing friction

This is not a conceptual-only role.

This is not a campaign-only role.

This is an AI-enabled, execution-driven Art Director role inside a performance-led organization.

Your mandate is to:

Elevate and protect brand standards across all surfaces

Build modular systems that enable speed and scale

Leverage AI to increase design velocity and reduce production friction

Support performance creative without slowing it down

Creative quality must improve.

Velocity must increase.

Manual dependency must decrease.

Minimum Qualifications - we have this first as we value your time as well as ours

5+ years in design or art direction within DTC, beauty, health, or consumer products

Strong portfolio demonstrating digital, packaging, and performance-adjacent work

Deep expertise in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite

Demonstrated experience integrating AI tools into design workflows

Experience building modular design systems (not just campaigns)

Understanding of how design impacts conversion and customer trust

Health, Beauty, or CPG experience is strongly preferred.

Key Areas of Accountability
1. Brand Systems & Visual Standards (Primary Ownership)

Own and evolve iRESTORE’s visual identity system

Maintain layout logic, typography systems, hierarchy, spacing, and visual language

Build brand guidelines that are usable and modular — not theoretical PDFs

Ensure consistency across paid, organic, web, email, packaging, and product

As output increases, brand cohesion must strengthen — not fragment.

2. AI-Assisted Design Workflows (Core Requirement)

AI is not optional in this role. You will:

Integrate AI tools into daily design workflows

Use AI for concept exploration, layout iteration, static variant generation, and asset adaptation

Rapidly generate design variations to support paid testing (e.g., “static swarms”)

Build prompt libraries and structured workflows that other designers can reuse

Reduce time-to-first-draft and time-to-iteration across surfaces

The expectation is not novelty — it is operational leverage.

3. Web & CRO Design Systems

Design and iterate on homepage, PDPs, and landing pages

Partner closely with CRO to build test-ready creative modules

Develop reusable UI components that accelerate experimentation

Use AI to generate layout variations and testing mockups quickly

Design decisions must balance aesthetic elevation and conversion performance.

4. Lifecycle & Email Systems

Build modular email systems that allow Lifecycle managers to self-serve

Create scalable promo, launch, and evergreen frameworks

Use AI to generate layout variations and creative refreshes without full redesign cycles

The goal: speed without sacrificing clarity.

5. Paid & Organic Design Support

Develop modular static systems for performance creative

Create visual overlays, motion templates, and graphic systems for short-form video

Support thumbnail and hook-driven creative design

Use AI to accelerate variant testing for paid

You are not responsible for media buying — but your design must support testing velocity.

6. Packaging & Physical Product (Execution + Systems)

Design and iterate on product packaging and inserts

Establish scalable packaging systems that support future product launches

Maintain visual hierarchy and clarity across physical touchpoints

Use AI-assisted mockups and rapid prototyping to accelerate iteration

7. Workflow & Team Contribution

Collaborate closely with the Head of Creative & Content Production

Manage freelance designers as needed

Maintain clean asset libraries and organized design systems

Ensure brand, paid, lifecycle, and product teams can execute without design bottlenecks

What Success Looks Like

Strong brand cohesion across all surfaces

Faster design turnaround due to modular + AI-assisted systems

Increased variant production for paid testing

Reduced dependency on one-off design cycles

High-quality web and email design that supports conversion

Clean, scalable packaging systems

What This Role Is Not

Not a brand-only conceptual role

Not a campaign-only role

Not isolated from performance

Not a manual-only designer resistant to AI

Not purely managerial — you will execute
