As a Senior Art Director, you are highly skilled in the latest tools and programs and have a deep understanding of the specific design demands of both traditional, digital and experiential media. You strive to produce innovative and memorable cross‑channel work that continues to make our agency, and the brands we work for, stand out and be talked about in the industry and around the proverbial water cooler.

You are a conceptual and experiential creative athlete, with a proven track record in hospitality‑focused activations for sporting events and beyond. Your expertise spans the full spectrum of experience creation, including spatial and environmental design, programming, digital and social integrations, and live guest engagement (motion design a plus). We’re looking for someone who thrives in diverse and collaborative team environments, finds inspiration everywhere and gets excited about sharing your creative rationale with compelling storytelling, and champions our commitment to fostering a welcoming and inclusive work culture.
