Responsibilities

• Lead the evolution of Artsy and Artnet’s brand and visual identity across all customer touchpoints, ensuring consistency, clarity, and creative distinction
• Develop scalable creative systems and design frameworks that enable efficient execution across channels and teams
• Shape and articulate Artsy and Artnet’s broader brand strategy, including positioning, storytelling, and visual expression
• Partner closely with Product, Growth Marketing, and Content teams to bring the brand to life in cohesive and collaborative ways
• Lead a small creative team, setting clear direction and priorities, establishing effective ways of working, thoughtfully planning resources, and ensuring high-quality execution
• Build scalable creative systems, design frameworks, and AI-enabled workflows so the team and the wider org move with clarity, brand unity, and speed.
• Grow a small team of 1-2 brand designers while directing contractors, freelancers, and creative partners, and working closely with Product Design

Requirements

• This role is a hybrid role based in London (or our NYC office) and requires 3 days a week in the office
• You have significant experience leading brand and visual identity work for consumer-facing companies, agencies, or culturally relevant brands
• Have worked both in-house and at agencies or brand studios—you’ve seen multiple brands and owned outcomes inside a team.
• Understand and lead on the “why” not just the “what”
• Think in systems: you can take intuitive creative judgment and turn it into direction and frameworks others can execute against, without flattening the craft.
• Are genuinely AI-native — you’re already building AI tools, automation, and modular production into how creative gets made.
• You have led brand-building initiatives across the full brand lifecycle—from defining brand architecture and strategic positioning to developing visual identity systems and bringing them to life through digital and physical/experiential campaigns, content, and activations.
• You are an excellent communicator who can influence cross-functional partners, align stakeholders, and bring teams along through clear creative direction and storytelling.
• Work with cross-functional partners, to concept and plan the execution of integrated campaigns and programs across a wide range of media and platforms: digital, print, video, social and content.
• Craft concepts and partner closely with Product & Product Design to execute across all mediums and audiences including our websites, app, emails, ad campaigns, video and audio, IRL, and more.
