The Art Director will play a crucial role in defining and executing the visual and creative direction of a select number of brands in our portfolio across a variety of channels.

Candidates should be comfortable working across all things digital  E-comm, new product launch campaigns, paid social, CRM, promo, and direct mail.

A successful candidate will be able to lead their projects and brands through great design, strategic thinking, partnership with x-functional stakeholders, all while being laser focused on driving revenue and contribution dollars for their brands. Operating in a fast paced, often ambiguous environment is critical.

  • Manage team of production designers and freelance support.

  • Collaborate with producers, copywriters and x-functional stakeholders. 

  • Maintain and evolve brand guidelines. 

  • Work from concept to execution across all channels.

  • Create new creative workflows, document, templatize, and implement them.

  • Conduct competitive research and stay up to date with trends, styles, aesthetics for your brands and categories. 

WHO YOU ARE: 

  • You take ownership. You are comfortable driving projects end-to-end that execute and eliminate blockers, helping you and the company move fast with confidence. You know when to raise your hand and ask for help.

  • You can work through ambiguity. Your experience will enable you to focus on the elements that matter most and drive clear insights that inform the team’s priorities

  • You love to learn . You continually explore ways to improve your skills and knowledge through taking on new challenges and experiences.

  • You are collaborative, organized, and thoughtful. You actively solicit teammate’s feedback and can get things done through informal influence. You demonstrate judicious decision-making and embrace intellectual friction as a feature of improvement, not a relationship bug.

WHAT YOU HAVE:

  • Experienced in dealing with ambiguity. Self starter who can work without a project manager. Equal parts designer and creative operations abilities. 

  • Excellent communication skills and ability to partner will collaborate with x-functional partners. 

  • Strong Understanding of typography, color theory, and layout.
