The Role

We're looking for a freelance Art Director to join our Brand team on a part-time contract basis, starting as coverage during a team member's leave (roughly 1–2 months).

What you'll do

  • Art Direction & Production
    • Concept and lead visual direction for campaigns, product launches, and digital activations
    • Build moodboards, references, shot lists, and visual treatments
    • Direct photo and video shoots on set — lighting, composition, styling, props
    • Manage shoot logistics: call sheets, scheduling, file prep, vendor coordination
    • Guide post-production: selects, editing notes, pacing, and final visual polish
  • Social & Content Direction
    • Lead the creative direction of how the brand shows up on social
    • Help shape how campaigns are conceived for social — not just adapted to it afterward
    • Partner with our social team to elevate content beyond "posting on the grid" into intentional, brand-right storytelling
    • Bring strategic input on how brand and social work together

You might be a fit if you

  • Have proven experience art-directing photo and video shoots, ideally in fashion, beauty, jewelry, or a premium lifestyle brand
  • Are genuinely passionate about social — how brand comes alive there and how to art-direct properly across the channel
  • Bring strong taste and judgment, and can protect the brand while moving fast
  • Are a self-starter who sees around corners and creates momentum
  • Can be on set and in our office as needed

Details

  • Type: Freelance / Contract, part-time
  • Hrs: ~20–30 hours/week (flexes with production schedule)
  • Dur: ~1–2 months coverage, with potential to extend
  • Loc: Hybrid — minimum 1–2 days/week in office, plus on-set days as needed
  • Rep: Head of Brand
  • Comp: Commensurate with experience
