Jr. Art Director

Frida, Miami, FL, United States


How You Will Make an Impact
Frida is looking for a Junior Art Director to join our Marketing team and play a key role in shaping how our brand shows up across campaigns, content, and culture. In this role, you’ll partner closely with the Sr. Art Director to develop campaign concepts, build visual worlds, and bring them to life through photography, video, and design. You should have a strong point of view on visual storytelling, with a particular strength in photographic art direction, mood boarding, and translating ideas into compelling shot lists and on‑set direction.

The right candidate is both a thinker and a maker, someone who can contribute to big ideas and execute against them with a high level of taste. You should be comfortable flexing across different tones and aesthetics, from premium brand campaigns to lo‑fi, social‑first content, and know how to build a visual approach that ladders up to the needs of each project.

You won’t just execute; you’ll help shape the work. From concepting campaign ideas and social activations to directing shoots and guiding post‑production (including retouching direction), this role requires both creative ownership and the ability to bring ideas to life.

Translate brand and business objectives into strong visual direction, ensuring all creative work is aligned with Frida’s voice, tone, and strategic goals

Contribute to social‑first concepting, helping shape content that feels culturally relevant while maintaining a strong point of view on art direction and execution

Maintain and evolve Frida’s visual identity, ensuring consistency across photography, video, and design systems while pushing the brand forward

Guide post‑production and retouching direction, ensuring final assets meet a high bar for quality, taste, and brand alignment

Bring ideas to life through hands‑on execution when needed, with strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite—particularly Photoshop for compositing, retouching, and visual storytelling

Collaborate cross‑functionally with brand, marketing, and production partners to ensure creative work is both strategically sound and effectively executed

Manage multiple projects simultaneously, owning timelines and deliverables while maintaining a high level of creative quality

Act as a creative partner across teams, helping connect brand, product, and marketing through strong visual thinking

What You Will Need

Bachelor’s degree in Design, Advertising, or a related field

2–4 years of experience in a creative role (art direction, design, or related), with a strong portfolio demonstrating conceptual thinking and visual storytelling

Experience contributing to or leading aspects of photoshoots and/or video production, including concepting, mood boards, and shot list development

Strong understanding of photographic and video art direction, including composition, styling, casting, and visual storytelling

Ability to develop and communicate visual ideas clearly, from concept through execution

A strong point of view on taste and aesthetics, with the ability to flex across different visual styles depending on the needs of the project

Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, with strong skills in Photoshop (retouching, compositing, image‑making) and Illustrator

Ability to translate ideas into tangible creative, using design and visual tools to help sell in concepts and bring them to life

Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to confidently articulate ideas to cross‑functional teams and leadership
