GAUI — Art Director
Full-Time · In-Location · Doral, FL
The Role
We are looking for an Art Director with a strong visual point of view, deep cultural awareness, and the ability to take full ownership of creative execution from concept through final delivery.
This is a social-first role. Gaui's brand presence lives primarily on Instagram and TikTok, and the person in this position should have a strong understanding of how visual culture moves within those platforms. What captures attention. What feels relevant versus repetitive. How brands build recognition, trust, and consistency over time through thoughtful creative execution.
We are looking for someone who understands that great creative work is rarely the result of what happens on set alone. The quality of the final outcome is often determined by the planning that happens beforehand and the attention given afterward.
This role requires equal parts creativity, organization, preparation, leadership, and follow-through.
You will work closely with the Head of Marketing and Brand Director while maintaining significant ownership over the creative process and execution.
What the Work Looks Like
Before the Shoot
This is where much of the work lives. It is detailed, methodical, and often invisible in the final output, yet it determines the quality of everything that follows. The right person approaches this stage with one eye on the work being executed today and the other on where the brand is headed tomorrow, ensuring that every decision contributes to a larger creative vision.
Responsibilities during this phase include:
• Building shot lists, mood boards, creative decks, and production plans for campaigns and content
• Helping shape concepts, narratives, and creative direction for upcoming launches and initiatives
• Identifying and securing the right photographer, stylist, hair and makeup artist, talent, and creative partners for each project
• Briefing collaborators with enough clarity and detail that the vision is established before anyone arrives on set
• Managing casting, locations, approvals, budgets, timelines, and production logistics
• Monitoring work in progress while maintaining a forward-looking perspective on future campaigns, brand evolution, and creative opportunities
• Anticipating challenges in advance and creating solutions before they affect execution
On Set
Shoot days move quickly and require strong leadership, clear communication, and attention to detail.
Responsibilities during this phase include:
• Directing talent positioning, movement, energy, and overall performance throughout the day
• Ensuring styling, hair, makeup, props, and creative details are translating effectively on camera
• Collaborating closely with photographers and creative partners to maintain alignment with the vision
• Reviewing imagery in real time and making confident creative decisions throughout the day
• Managing the shot list while maintaining flexibility when opportunities or challenges arise
• Balancing creative excellence with the practical realities of production
After the Shoot
The shoot may be finished, but the responsibility remains the same. This stage is where the final standard is established.
Responsibilities during this phase include:
• Reviewing and selecting imagery with a strong editorial eye
• Briefing retouchers with clear, thoughtful, and specific direction
• Reviewing retouching rounds and maintaining quality through every stage of the process
• Organizing, preparing, and delivering final creative assets
• Adapting imagery across website, email, social media, paid media, and other brand placements
• Ensuring every asset aligns with brand standards and serves its intended purpose across channels
Core Responsibilities
Beyond individual productions, this role is responsible for helping shape and maintain the broader visual identity of the brand.
This includes:
• Defining and maintaining Gaui's visual identity across photography, styling direction, typography, color, and overall creative consistency
• Developing seasonal creative concepts, narratives, and visual frameworks that guide the broader team
• Leading campaigns from concept through final delivery with complete ownership
• Maintaining consistency across all customer-facing creative work
• Staying connected to fashion, culture, art, and the evolving visual language of social media
• Bringing new ideas, references, and creative perspectives into the brand
• Partnering closely with the Head of Marketing and Brand Director on brand initiatives and long-term creative direction
What We're Looking For
• 5 years of experience as a creative with a portfolio that demonstrates a strong and cohesive point of view
• Experience within fashion, women's lifestyle, beauty, or a brand with a strong visual and social presence
• A sophisticated understanding of Instagram, TikTok, and modern visual culture
• Proven experience leading creative productions from pre-production through post-production
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite
• Familiarity with Figma, video editing, or motion design is a plus
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
• The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously without sacrificing quality
• Comfort giving and receiving direct, honest creative feedback
• A strong sense of ownership and accountability
Who This Role Is For
The right person for this role holds themselves to a high standard without needing to be managed into it. They care about the details because they understand that brands are built through consistency. They bring the same level of attention to a creative deck, a casting decision, a retouching round, and a final campaign launch. They are curious, culturally aware, and genuinely invested in the craft of creating strong visual work. They know how to prepare, how to execute, and how to carry a project from the earliest stages of development through final delivery.
Most importantly, they take ownership.
If that sounds like the way you already work, we'd love to hear from you.
