About the role

  • This is a high-impact creative leadership role with the opportunity to shape how millions of dog owners experience TFD.
  • One Team: We don't think of ourselves as "Acquisition Marketers", "Engineers", "Data Analysts", or "Product Managers".
  • Beyond denoting skill sets and areas of expertise, we don't think departments matter.

Responsibilities

  • Lead art and design efforts for everything from integrated 360 brand campaigns to fast-twitch social content to packaging and installations.
  • Manage a team of designers to ensure that our brand is translated into effective, distinctive, and cohesive design systems. Inspire brave new ideas while keeping a constant pulse on consistency and continuity.
  • Partner with the Creative Director on TVC, video, OOH, and other major advertising assets, advising on art direction and leading the intersection of graphic elements and typography.
  • Partner with Product Design leadership to ensure all our surfaces feel of one brand.
  • You'll immerse yourself in the product, becoming an expert in the unique qualities of our fresh food service, and shepherd creative ideas through the vetting process to co-develop work that serves the business as a whole.
  • You're adaptable to different working styles, mindsets, and personalities, showcasing a willingness to collaborate with all.
  • Being included is just the beginning, it's about contributing your voice, growing through challenges, and building trust through shared goals.
  • This philosophy guides how we lead, how we hire, how we communicate, and how we grow.
  • To date, The Farmer's Dog has delivered over 1 billion meals nationwide and raised over $150M in funding to help us build a company as healthy as the dogs who are eating those meals.
  • Reporting directly into our VP, Creative, you'll manage a team of designers and partner closely with our Creative Director to ensure our brand shows up distinctively and cohesively everywhere it lives.

Requirements

  • You have 10+ years of experience, including 2+ years as a Design Director within an agency and/or in-house team.
  • A portfolio with creative, relevant work for which you were primarily responsible is required.
  • You have worked within both static and video.
  • Direct motion design skills are not required, but a love for video media and the intersection of graphics, art direction, and storytelling is.
  • You have managed a team of creatives and value mentorship as a crucial element of the job function.
  • You can spot a golden nugget in the brainstorm brain dump and help turn it into something great.
  • You can quickly grasp, and bring to life the visual identity of a brand, and help evolve that identity.
