Associate Art Director Job at JSR Tech Consulting in New York

MUST HAVE experience in investment management, asset management, or financial services & a Portfolio showing sophisticated art direction, campaign work, data visualization, and strategic branding for financial audiences

Our investment management client just launched a major new brand campaign — and they need a hands-on creative who can help expand and activate it across every channel. Not someone to maintain it from a distance. Someone who wants to be in the work: art directing, designing, storytelling, and pushing it further. If you're a player/coach who gets restless just reviewing other people's decks, read on.

What You'll Actually Do

This isn't a management role with occasional creative input. You'll be the one making the work.

Make great work. Art direct and design high-profile campaigns, pitch decks, and multimedia content. Your output is the benchmark the team rallies around.

Expand the campaign. Take our client's new brand campaign and find new ways to activate and extend it across channels. Build on the visual system, push the narratives further, and find new ways to make complex investment concepts feel compelling and clear.

Elevate the team. Coach and mentor internal creatives through craft, not just critique. Show what world-class looks like by doing it yourself.

Own brand quality. Be the final set of eyes. Keep everything sharp, on-brand, and visually excellent across every touchpoint.

Collaborate and lead. Partner with strategy, production, media, and business units. Manage agency relationships and budgets. Present ideas to senior leadership with clarity and conviction.

Stay inspired. Stay tuned to what's next — in design, technology, and culture — and bring those ideas into the work.
