About the Role

We’re looking for a conceptually fearless, socially fluent senior art director who leads with ideas that move culture. You don’t think “film first” or “ad first” You think social first. You understand that today’s best ideas have legs and made to be  shared, remixed, and talked about. 

As a senior art director, you’ll guide multidisciplinary teams through concepting and execution, from social media to traditional media to emerging platforms. You’ll have a deep understanding of how each channel works and how to make brands feel native, fresh, and alive within them.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and inspire an  art  director, designers,  copywriters, performance creative strategists, and content creators in developing bold ideas that drive brand relevance and performance.

  • Elevate the creative product, ensuring work is not only platform-optimized but strategically grounded, visually captivating, and culturally resonant.

  • Partner closely with creative, strategy, and production to shape creative the  strategy and the work – guiding campaigns from concept to launch, and uphold the agency’s creative standards.

  • Be active in  shoots and content creation. From scrappy social productions to larger integrated campaigns, you’ll help  guide the  storytelling built to flex across multiple formats and feeds.

  • Mentor and grow talent, providing clear feedback, actionable direction, and a creative environment that encourages experimentation and ownership.

  • Stay ahead of culture and platforms, infusing emerging trends, creators, and tools (including AI and new production approaches) into the team’s creative process.

  • Present work confidently internally and to clients, articulating the “why” behind the creative and selling ideas with clarity and conviction.
