Group Art Director Job at PrizePicks in Atlanta
PrizePicks, Atlanta, GA, United States
At PrizePicks, we are the fastest-growing sports company in North America, as recognized by Inc. 5000. As the leading platform for Daily Fantasy Sports, we cover a diverse range of sports leagues, including the NFL, NBA, and Esports titles like League of Legends and Counter‑Strike. Our team of over 550 employees thrives in an inclusive culture that values individuals from diverse backgrounds, regardless of their level of sports fandom. Ready to reimagine the DFS industry together?
This is not a role for someone who wants to run the show. It's a role for someone who wants to make the show undeniably better.
How We Work Lead with conviction — Be Iverson: Bring work you believe in and have a strong POV. Authenticity matters more than the idea itself. If the idea could live with another brand's logo on it, it doesn't belong here. We'd rather refine a bold idea than try to save a safe one.
Sharpen Each Other — Be Pharrell: Value direct feedback and be comfortable in conflict. Debate makes the work better. Once a call is made, we move together. Mediocre work is a collective failure, not an individual one.
Execute under pressure — Be Jordan: The standard does not change when the moment does. We move with precision and continually refine our judgment. Practice or clutch time, you show up with the same intensity.
Show Up Fully — Be Virgil: Show up wherever you are needed, whenever you are needed, without hesitation. Not for credit — for the outcome. It's not about doing everything. It's about doing what's required to make it right.
What you’ll do: Be the ECD's creative right hand
Partner directly with the ECD on ideation, concepting, and creative strategy — the thinking partner who helps turn vision into direction
Bring wild, well‑reasoned ideas to the table and have the skills to execute them yourself
Represent the ECD's creative standards across every project and every channel
Help push the brand into cultural moments, campaigns, and big swings that feel undeniably PrizePicks
Lead the design team through craft, not authority
Directly manage two Art Directors (Brand and Social) and two specialist designers
Protect and reinforce what George and Brandon own — your role is to elevate their work, not redirect it
Coach through doing: show better work, not just describe it
Create an environment where the team produces the best creative of their careers
Provide direct, actionable feedback that makes the work better every single time
Execute at an elite level across every medium
Design campaign assets from brief to final — digital, social, OOH, CRM, product touchpoints
Animate TV spots, social content and create motion systems from scratch (Not An Option)
Build 3D assets — Blender proficiency strongly preferred
Concept and write alongside copy when the brief demands it — scripts, taglines, platforms
Own the two‑minute drill — real‑time cultural moments demand sharper judgment, not lower standards
Stay locked into culture, sports, and performance
Be chronically online and tapped into sports, culture, and the internet before it hits the mainstream
Bring elite ball knower energy — you understand the moments, the players, the narratives, and why real fans care
Build creative that performs — you understand paid social, know what a winning asset looks like, and never mistake beautiful for effective
Contribute to performance creative strategy alongside Acquisition and Product Marketing
Push What's Possible
Bring new tools, formats and technologies into the workflow.
Experiment constantly.
Drive trends, don’t follow them
Who You Are
A maker first — you'd rather build it than brief it out and your output proves it
Fast — What agencies do in weeks you can do in days if not hours.
Multi‑disciplinary to a rare degree — genuinely elite across design, motion, 3D and concepting
A player‑coach — you lead by doing, not by delegating and the team gets better because they watch you work
Low ego about ownership — Team wins are your wins. You protect swim lanes and make them bigger
A strategic thinker who doesn't hide behind strategy — you can go from big idea to finished asset without losing the thread
Chronically online — you live where culture lives, not where it lands after the fact
An elite ball knower — sports isn't a vertical to you, it's a language you speak fluently
Performance‑aware — great creative has to do something, not just look good
A force multiplier — your presence makes everyone around you sharper without making it about you
What you have Qualifications
8–12+ years of creative execution experience in a high‑performance in‑house or agency environment
Experience managing or mentoring creative talent — you've made other people better
Portfolio that demonstrates genuine range: campaign‑level thinking, high‑end visual design, motion, and 3D
Expert‑level in Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects — these are table stakes
Blender proficiency — strongly preferred, not optional if you want to stand out
Fluency in performance creative — you know what a winning paid social asset looks like and why it converts
Deep understanding of sports and culture — NBA, NFL, and beyond. You know the storylines before the brief is written
Experience in sports, gaming, or entertainment/culture — you already speak our language
Ability to concept, pitch, write and execute at an elite level across every stage of a project
Bonus Points
Experience with AI‑driven creative tools and workflows
Video editing and social‑first content production
Background working with talent, creators, or production teams
Experience building or evolving brand systems at scale
What Success Looks Like In 90 days, you've shipped work that makes people stop scrolling. The team feel supported, not second‑guessed — swim lanes are intact and their work is better. The ECD has a creative partner who thinks at the same level and executes bar for bar with him.
In six months, there's a body of work with your fingerprints on it that has genuinely moved PrizePicks forward. The team is producing more, at a higher level, because you're in the room.
In a year, you're the reason we didn't need an agency.
