Responsibilities
- Concept and design omnichannel campaigns — from sketches, storyboards and roughs through polished, production-ready art across digital, social, video, print, trade and experiential
- Take work from idea to final execution on deadline, keeping the craft high and the strategy intact at every step
- Translate marketing strategy, positioning and audience insight into visual ideas — including making technical or scientific subject matter feel human and compelling for B2B audiences
- Partner closely across an integrated team of writers, strategists and designers, giving and taking direction generously to make the whole better
- Present and sell your thinking to clients and internal teams with clarity and confidence
- Help raise the bar for the team — sharing craft, sparking ideas and bringing fresh references, tools and approaches to the group
Requirements
- Three–five years of art direction or design experience, with a portfolio that shows range, conceptual thinking and finished craft (Agency experience is a strong plus; B2B, ag, food or animal-health work is even better)
- Fluency in the Adobe Creative Suite, plus comfort with design and prototyping tools such as Figma; motion or video skills and familiarity with AI-assisted creative tools are a plus
- A collaborative, low-ego working style — you're at your best in a team and you make the people around you better
- Strong communication and presentation skills, and the composure to navigate ambiguity, shifting priorities and real deadlines
