About the role

  • You see campaigns as visual systems, not individual assets.
  • You're driven by strong conceptual thinking grounded in strategy and cultural trends and insights.
  • You bring high-level visual thinking, strong copy collaboration instincts, and a deep understanding of what makes work culturally resonant.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the visual concepting and art direction of campaigns across social, digital, video, OOH, retail, and experiential. From the first rough idea to the final deliverable.
  • Develop campaign visual languages that are ownable, scalable, and built to travel across markets and touchpoints without losing their identity.
  • Collaborate closely with Copywriters and Creative Directors to build fully integrated campaign ideas where the visual and verbal thinking are inseparable.
  • Stay ahead of design trends, visual culture, and emerging creative formats. Bring fresh references and push the team's visual vocabulary forward.
  • We move fast, we build bold, and we do not settle.
  • You direct shoots, push design trends, and never stop asking whether the work is as good as it could be.
  • Our Outrageously Extraordinary mindset drives us to tackle the impossible, push boundaries, and deliver results that others only dream of.
  • We support ALL associates in bringing their authentic selves to work, making an impact, and having the opportunity for career acceleration.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of art direction experience at a creative agency, in-house team, or equivalent, with a portfolio that demonstrates both conceptual range and executional craft.
  • A genuine conceptor. You do not just make things look good. You build the idea from the ground up and carry it through execution.
  • Mastery of the Adobe Creative Suite and Figma. You are fast, precise, and never let tools slow your thinking down.
  • Fluency with AI-powered creative generative AI tools such as Weavy and Claude and how to use them to accelerate visual execution and concepting, not replace it.
  • Strong typographic instincts and a sophisticated understanding of layout, color, and visual hierarchy across digital and physical formats.
  • Proven experience directing photo and video production, including working with photographers, directors, and production teams on set.
  • You give clear direction that makes work better, not just different.
  • Cross-category versatility. You can art direct a launch film, a retail endcap, a social campaign, and a product page and make all of them feel like they belong to the same world.
  • Cultural fluency and a strong point of view on what makes visual work feel relevant and current without feeling disposable.
  • Comfort working at speed without sacrificing craft. Creative Labs moves fast and the Sr. Art Director sets the pace, not just keeps it.

Nice to have

  • Experience with motion design or working closely with CGI and motion graphics artists to bring campaigns to life in dynamic formats.
  • Experience designing for global markets with an understanding of how visual systems adapt across local cultures without losing creative force.
  • We don't do ordinary.
  • If you are the kind of Art Director who believes great visual thinking and disruptive creative can change the way people see a product and a brand, you will thrive here.
