Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Concept and design omnichannel campaigns — from sketches, storyboards and roughs through polished, production-ready art across digital, social, video, print, trade and experiential
  • Take work from idea to final execution on deadline, keeping the craft high and the strategy intact at every step
  • Translate marketing strategy, positioning and audience insight into visual ideas — including making technical or scientific subject matter feel human and compelling for B2B audiences
  • Partner closely across an integrated team of writers, strategists and designers, giving and taking direction generously to make the whole better
  • Present and sell your thinking to clients and internal teams with clarity and confidence
  • Help raise the bar for the team — sharing craft, sparking ideas and bringing fresh references, tools and approaches to the group

Requirements

  • Three–five years of art direction or design experience, with a portfolio that shows range, conceptual thinking and finished craft (Agency experience is a strong plus; B2B, ag, food or animal-health work is even better)
  • Fluency in the Adobe Creative Suite, plus comfort with design and prototyping tools such as Figma
  • A collaborative, low-ego working style — you're at your best in a team and you make the people around you better
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, and the composure to navigate ambiguity, shifting priorities and real deadlines
  • Curiosity about our categories. You don't need to be a farmer or a vet, but you should be genuinely interested in learning audiences you don't already know
  • A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

Preferred

  • Agency experience is a strong plus; B2B, ag, food or animal-health work is even better
  • motion or video skills and familiarity with AI-assisted creative tools are a plus
