Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Social & Video: Set the art direction for videos and social assets. Define the look, feel, and tone of content that positions Intuit as an innovative technology platform and leader in the era of AI.
  • High-Impact Platform and Partnership Announcements: Lead the creative art direction for major platform release moments, corporate partnerships, and high-stakes press/PR moments, ensuring they are visually arresting and highly shareable.
  • Conceptual Development: Partner closely with our internal team of filmmakers to concept and storyboard the visual expression of high-concept video assets.
  • Executive Storytelling: Collaborate with senior leaders to shape the visual direction of executive social channels and design immersive graphic and video elements for flagship internal and external communications.
  • Hands-on design: You don’t just set direction; you’ll roll your sleeves up and design a high volume of social assets and other creative deliverables. In this role, you’ll get to balance projects where you’re leading the visual direction and others where you’re creating the work yourself.
  • Extended Creative Leadership: Sit on the extended leadership staff, actively contributing to the organization's creative culture, operational strategy, and long-term vision.
  • Design Excellence at Scale: Act as a key conceptual partner. Maintain and model an uncompromising bar for quality, taste, and contemporary design trends, raising the caliber of all creative workstreams.
  • Influential Presenter: Confidently pitch, defend, and articulate strategic art direction concepts to senior executive stakeholders, turning business strategy into emotive creative directions.
  • Mentorship: Act as an inspirational force and mentor to senior designers across the wider creative team, fostering a culture of curiosity and creative excellence.

Requirements

  • Experience: 10–15 years of experience in art direction and creative execution, with a heavy emphasis on video development and social-first campaigns, representing top-tier creative agencies or modern in-house brands.
  • Portfolio of Impact: A stunning portfolio showcasing elite art direction across diverse mediums—specifically high-performing social campaigns, cinematic brand films, and experiential motion design.
  • Production Literacy: Deep understanding of the end-to-end video production process, including pre-visualization, on-set art direction, and post-production (editing, motion graphics, and color grading).
  • Social Platform Expertise: Advanced knowledge of modern social media platforms (LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Instagram, TikTok), understanding their algorithmic behaviors, format constraints, and unique visual vocabularies.
  • Communication & Collaboration: Outstanding written and verbal communication skills; a positive, optimistic team player who builds strong, trust-based relationships with cross-functional partners.
