The Art Director leads idea generation and brings 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.

- 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, 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.
