Art Director

As the Interactive Digital Art Director, the conceptual development and execution of creative deliverables is your focus—including creating and communicating concepts, implementing marketing strategies, and developing interactive design solutions. Balancing creative thinking with interpersonal skills, you champion creative concepts to clients and project teams alike. There’s a line between creative expression and commercial reality—but you’ve got that covered. You want to keep learning, but you want leadership experience, too. Good news—you’ll have mentorship from a Creative Director to help you grow, and you’ll lead a team of designers while collaborating cross-functionally with other technical and content teams.

• Be accountable for successful conception and execution of visual creative direction.
• Regularly review creative work with the group’s senior creative staff to get feedback on direction, and to ensure the work is aligned with other activities in the group.
• Deliver the art direction of an interactive project, from concept to iterations to final development and delivery.
• Develop innovative and on-strategy designs and experiences that meet the objectives of the assignment.
• Solve problems conceptually in collaboration with the broader interactive team, including writers, UX designers, creative technologists, and developers.
• Present and articulate design rationale.
• Communicate effectively, verbally and in writing, with other creatives and product managers, fostering trust and respect.
• Manage the work of interactive designers and art direct photographers and illustrators as necessary.

You Have:

• A drive for pixel-perfect design and visual communication.
• 8-10+ years of agency and/or in-house experience specializing in interactive visual design for web, mobile, app.
• A digital portfolio that showcases your end to end concepts through final designs and launch.
• Numerous examples expressing your design process and concepts – hand sketches, digital comps, rapid prototyping, 3D rendering, wireframes, iterations, etc.
• A collaborative work style and you're comfortable mentoring in a group environment.
• Knowledge on how to bring out the best in the cross-functional team; digital design, copy, ux, and development.
• Insight and experience setting design pace on projects; from casting vision, to communicating and delegating the details, and solving the work in a deep and meaningful way.
• Experience leading a team of designers, production specialists and writers to creative excellence.
