Art & Creative$118k–$150k/yrFull-time

Mammoth Brands (formerly Harry’s Inc.) is the modern CPG company behind brands Harry’s, Flamingo, Lume, Mando, and Coterie. We’re building a new model—and home—for brands, founders, and talent looking to solve unmet needs, improve peoples’ lives, and ultimately challenge the status quo. Our mission is to “Create Things People Like More.” Simply put: everything we do should be better than what already exists. If it’s not, we don’t do it. This guides everything from product development to workplace culture and community impact.

About the Team

The Creative team at Lumē and Mando is small, ambitious, and building something real. We work across both brands—two whole-body deodorants that stop the bacteria causing B.O. anywhere on the body. Our job is to change the conversation around a problem people have always been too embarrassed to talk about. We create campaigns, content, packaging, and activations that help people understand why these products are different—and why they should care. We're in the middle of a major brand transformation, and the work we're doing now will define what these brands look and feel like for years to come.

About the Role

We're looking for an ACD, Art Director who leads with concepts and executes with craft. You'll be the visual creative partner to the ACD Copywriter—concepting campaigns together, pushing ideas to unexpected places, and ensuring the work looks as good as it thinks. You'll shape both what we say and how we say it visually, working across social, digital, packaging, in-store, and activations. Both brands have room to grow and tighten, and we see that as an opportunity. You'll also collaborate with the design and content teams on how campaign creative intersects with the brand identity system, especially through the 2027 rebrand rollout. This is an individual contributor role with real creative ownership.

Responsibilities

  • Concept original campaign ideas across social, digital, in-store, and activations in close partnership with the ACD Copywriter and the rest of the creative team—bringing strong visual thinking to every brief.
  • Art direct content and campaign shoots, working with production partners, photographers, and video teams to ensure the work looks intentional from concept to delivery.
  • Collaborate with the Design Director on how campaign creative intersects with the brand identity system.
  • Direct video and animation concepts for social and digital—not as an editor or motion designer, but as the creative lead who ensures the idea translates correctly through production partners.
  • Maintain a high standard of visual craft across everything the creative team produces, acting as a taste-maker and quality bar for the team.

A Day in the Life

  • Kick off the morning with a concepting session with the ACD Copywriter—building off each other's thinking until an idea neither of you would have landed on alone.
  • Review selects from a Mando content shoot, flagging which frames actually serve the idea and which are just “technically fine.”
  • Jump into a brief kickoff with Brand and Marketing leads for Lumē's next product launch, pushing for a stronger visual insight before the shot list gets locked.
  • Sit down with the Design Director to turn a raw campaign idea into something that actually looks unmistakable—distinct yet on-brand.
  • Give an editor feedback on a social cut, sharpening the pacing and tone so it lands with the concept—and still feels native to the platform.
  • Kill a concept you personally loved because the simpler version tested better in the room.
  • End the day looking back at the work in progress, deciding what's actually strong enough to show tomorrow and what needs another pass.

Qualifications

  • You think in campaigns, not assets. Your instinct is to find the idea first and solve the visual execution second.
  • You have a refined design sensibility and a strong visual POV—you know what looks good and why, and you can articulate it.
  • You're fluent in social and digital—you understand how content lives on platforms and how to make work that feels native, not posted.
  • You can concept for and direct video without being an editor—you communicate clearly with production partners and know how to get what you want.
  • You work well in a copy/AD team model and know how to build on a partner's ideas as well as your own.

Who You'll Work With

  • Reporting to the Head of Creative, Lumē & Mando.
  • Individual contributor role—no direct reports.
  • Primary creative partnership with the ACD, Copywriter.
  • Close collaboration with the Design Director on brand identity and campaign alignment.
  • Regular work with production partners, social teams, and marketing leads.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • 401k match.
  • Equity in Mammoth Brands.
  • Flexible time off and working hours.
  • L&D stipend.
  • 4 weeks sabbatical after 5 years, 6 weeks after 10 years, and 8 weeks after 15 years.
  • 20 fully paid weeks off for parents who give birth, or 16 fully paid weeks off for all other paths to parenthood.
  • Fun IRL and virtual events including happy hours, team building events, and parties on our rooftop.
  • Free products from our family of brands.

Schedule

The Mammoth Brands' working model is in-office Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The office is located in a beautiful 70,000 square foot SoHo space with bagels on Wednesdays, lunch on Thursdays, and fully stocked kitchens with snacks, coffee, and drinks every day.

Pay

The base salary hiring range for this position is $118,000-$150,000. The final compensation offer will ultimately be based on the candidate’s location, skill level, and experience.
