Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own Visual Execution & Quality
  • Execute assigned creative deliverables independently across platforms, maintaining a high standard of craft, accuracy, and brand consistency.
  • Refine and improve the work beyond the brief rather than simply completing assigned tasks.
  • Own visual quality control for your work, reviewing final assets for craft, consistency, accuracy, accessibility where applicable, and brand alignment before delivery.
  • Manage revisions and production handoffs with care so approved concepts translate cleanly into final assets.
  • Translate Creative Direction & Develop Visual Directions
  • Translate creative strategy and approved concepts into clear, compelling visual directions and design systems.
  • Make confident visual decisions within the creative concept and established direction, knowing when to move independently and when CD alignment is needed.
  • Develop and recommend multiple visual directions, pushing beyond the first solution through iteration, references, AI, and emerging tools before narrowing to the strongest approach.
  • Contribute to concept development and lead visual exploration of approved concepts, with greater ownership of concepting for internal marketing and assigned initiatives.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional design or art direction experience, ideally in an agency or similarly fast-paced creative environment.
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating visual concepting, design craft, and the ability to execute across multiple channels and formats.
  • Demonstrated ability to take creative strategy and concepts and independently develop strong visual directions and solutions within them.
  • Experience managing multiple projects and deadlines while maintaining quality and attention to detail.
  • A sharp eye for typography, composition, hierarchy, brand consistency, and final production quality.
  • Comfort collaborating with copywriters, account teams, production/motion partners, and creative leadership.
  • A proactive communication style: you anticipate needs, raise issues early, and keep work moving.
  • The judgment to know when a visual solution is strong, when it needs another round, and when Lead Creative alignment is needed.

Preferred

  • Curiosity and practical fluency with AI and emerging creative tools, with an interest in using them to expand exploration, iteration, and efficiency.
