Senior Art Director, 2D Illustration

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. We need to parse the posting. First, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove the intro marketing fluff? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep substantive info about role, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule. The intro about Whatnot is maybe not substantive? It's about company description; maybe we can keep as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a heading for description of role. The initial paragraph about Whatnot is company overview, not role specifics. Might be considered not needed? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." It doesn't say to drop company overview. However we need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content for it. The "About the role" could be the description of role after the heading "Role". The posting includes a section starting with "💻 Role Whatnot is looking for a multidisciplinary Designer and Illustrator..." That's role description. So we can put that under

About the role

with paragraphs. Then responsibilities: The bullet list under "In This Role, You Will" includes many items. Those are responsibilities. So we can make

Responsibilities

with

• each. Then requirements/qualifications/skills: The "👋 You People who do well..." section includes traits and then "As an Art Director, 2D Illustration, you should have 7+ years of experience..." then "Candidates Should Have Experience — ..." then list of items like Storytelling, Taste, Creative Tools, Driven, Meticulous, Self-Belief, Self-awareness, Creative Buffer, Move uncomfortably fast, Experimental, Respected. Then "Nice To Have ..." list. We need to decide how to split into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we have headings defined: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content. We have responsibilities (clear). We have requirements/qualifications/skills: we could put all under Requirements (or Qualifications) but better to separate: Requirements (years of experience, experience creating work...), Qualifications (maybe the list of traits like Storytelling, Taste, etc.) Skills (tools proficiency). However the posting lumps them together. We need to decide based on content. Let's extract: - Experience: 7+ years across brand, campaign, or creative studio work, portfolio shows strong visual thinking and hands-on execution. - Candidates Should Have Experience — industry experience creating work for similar products or brands, in-product experiences, visual identities, large-scale campaigns, social media, and merchandise. - Storytelling — showcases an exceptional ability to communicate ideas, stories, and narratives through static and animated creative assets. - Taste — a portfolio or presentation showcasing a high level of taste, strong art direction, strategy, knowledge, and experience working within or developing visual systems, and highly polished illustration and graphic design solutions. - Creative Tools — proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Figma Weave, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other creative tools. - Driven — this role requires someone that is driven with a ‘figure it out’ mentality. They are proactive, curious, and passionate about making great creative. - Meticulous — You know when to templatize, when to self-edit, and where to push in order to deliver the best possible outcome. - Self-Belief — you have experience leading creative work from start to finish, while collaborating closely with brand, product, engineers, and other cross-functional partners. - Self-awareness — we’re looking for someone with a low-ego, and a high sense of ownership. You’re able to identify new opportunities to push our work and the brand. You’re able to take and deliver hard feedback in a thoughtful way, catered to each person’s personality and preferences of work style. You’re also able to see when the team needs you to jump in and get your hands dirty. - Creative Buffer — showcase a strong ability to refine ambiguous briefs, find the real problem, and create an actionable gameplan for themselves or teams they partner with. - Move uncomfortably fast — you’re comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and making decisions with incomplete information. - Experimental — This person is self-motivated, and loves learning new skills or tools. They’re not afraid to push their work, within reason, to evolve Whatnot’s brand into the creative vanguard. - Respected — this person is well-respected in the design community, and maintains strong ties to industry peers. - Nice To Have Experience in a high-growth startup, marketplace, consumer app, creator platform, or fast-moving creative studio. - Experience in art directing motion, illustration, design, or creating capsule collections in fashion. - Passion for AI tools and experimentation with vibe coding. - Experience building illustration systems for in-house creative teams. - Building creative tools to help support a large-scale design organization. Thus we have many items that could be considered skills (tools, storytelling, taste, etc.) and qualifications (experience, years). Could map: Requirements: 7+ years experience, industry experience creating work for similar products..., portfolio strong visual thinking, etc. Qualifications: maybe the list of traits like Storytelling, Taste, Driven, Meticulous, Self-Belief, Self-awareness, Creative Buffer, Move uncomfortably fast, Experimental, Respected. Skills: proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Figma Weave, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other creative tools; also maybe Nice-to-have items. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section "Requirements" and put all the experience and traits there. Then Skills separate for tools and nice-to-have. But we have headings defined; we can choose to include only those with substantive content. Let's see if we have content for Pay and Schedule. Pay: At end: "Compensation Range: $158K - $200K". That's pay info. So we can include Pay section. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's mention of flexibility to work from home or from hubs, and team members must live within commuting distance of hubs. That's location, not schedule. No explicit schedule (full-time, part-time). So we should not create Schedule section. Benefits: There's a big benefits list under 🎁 Benefits. So include Benefits. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay. We need to decide which headings to use. Use

  . We must not repeat job title. The job title is "Art Director, 2D Illustration". Not to be used as heading. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract the role description paragraph: "Whatnot is looking for a multidisciplinary Designer and Illustrator to join the Brand Experience team as an Art Director, 2D Illustration. We’re a small, collaborative team of 2D and 3D illustrators and designers that care deeply about our respective craft. The Brand Experience team works across a wide range of surfaces at Whatnot, including digital experiences, marketing campaigns, growth, events, and merchandise. This is a hands-on generalist role for someone with a high level of taste, craft, and creative range. This person should show a strong ability to simplify complex concepts into unique, intuitive, and visually compelling metaphors. The role requires a strong point of view and an ability to communicate actionable feedback or guidance to the team, empowering them to do their best work. This role requires a self-starter who is driven, proactive, and truly loves the creative process and working with others in a collaborative setting. They are comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-paced environments while maintaining a high level of craft. The right person brings strong 2D design craft, a point of view on art direction, and the ability to make smart creative calls with minimal guidance or information. Someone who isn’t afraid to experiment or learn new skills and keeps a pulse on design trends, propelling Whatnot’s visual identity in the creative vanguard." That's the role description. Now responsibilities list: Under "In This Role, You Will" bullet points: - Develop visual strategies, art direction, and creative to extend Whatnot’s brand into digital experiences, product launches, events, social, and other high-impact surfaces. - Work collaboratively across business verticals with designers, engineers, copywriters, marketers, and creative leads from the initial brief to delivery. - Move fast from the initial brief to execution, cutting scope when possible while maintaining a high bar for craft. - Maintain and evolve visual strategies through moodboards and sketches to create bespoke, beautiful, production-ready assets. - Bring a meticulous eye with an ability to communicate actionable feedback in a productive way. - Maintaining a collaborative and positive environment that motivates the team to do their best work. - An ability to see a project from start to finish, with an ability to verbalize the concepts in a convincing manner. - Works with tools like Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and AI workflows to communicate ideas, streamline processes, and make the work better, faster. - Keep a pulse on current fashion and design trends, pop culture, commerce, creators, and the Whatnot community to create a genuine connection to a wide variety of demographics.
