EGC Group is hiring: Mid-Senior Art Director in Melville

EGC Group, Melville, NY, USA

Job type: Full Time


We’re looking for a Mid‑Senior Art Director who can lead ideas and bring them to life across everything from brand campaigns to social content. You have strong design instincts, a clear point of view, and understand how creative actually works today—fast, platform‑specific, and constantly evolving. You’re as comfortable concepting big ideas as you are rolling up your sleeves to make them real.
Primary Responsibilities

Lead and collaborate with copywriters, strategists, and designers to develop integrated campaigns across digital, social, and traditional channels
Concept and execute ideas that are built for platforms—not just adapted to them
Design and oversee production of assets including social content, digital ads, landing pages, email, and brand campaigns
Bring ideas to life across formats—from static to video to short‑form content
Lead photo and video shoots from concept through execution—including fast‑turn, social‑first content
Contribute to video and podcast content creation, including editing, formatting, and platform optimization
Present work clearly and confidently, articulating the “why” behind the idea
Maintain a high level of craft while pushing for fresh, modern creative
Leverage emerging tools and workflows—including AI platforms like Midjourney, Nano Banana, Runway—to accelerate and enhance creative output
Mentor junior designers and help elevate the overall quality of the work
Partner with account and production teams to deliver high‑quality work on time
The Ideal Candidate Will Possess The Following Skills

5+ years of experience in an agency or creative environment, with a strong portfolio of integrated work
Proven ability to concept and lead creative—not just execute
High level of proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, with working knowledge of Figma or similar tools
Comfortable using modern creative tools, including AI platforms as part of your workflow
Solid video editing skills (social cuts, podcast edits, pacing, sound, formatting for different platforms)
Understanding of content production workflows, including video and podcast formats
Social‑native—you understand what works across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and evolving platforms
Strong design fundamentals (typography, composition, hierarchy) with a sharp eye for detail
Ability to manage multiple projects and move quickly without sacrificing quality
Confident presenter who can sell ideas internally and to clients
Collaborative, proactive, and not precious—you iterate, test, and improve
Nice to Have

Experience editing podcast/video content (Premiere, CapCut, or similar)
Experience working with UGC creators or social‑first production
Familiarity with performance‑driven creative and iterative testing
