• Coordinate with producers and vendors to ensure ideas can be built without compromising creative excellence.

Team & Vendor Management:

• Lead and mentor a growing team of designers, animators, and content creators, ensuring clarity, ownership, and accountability.
• Onboard and oversee freelancers and agencies when needed, providing clear briefs and creative direction.
• Build a feedback culture with high standards and mutual respect.

• Experiment with new tools (AI, prototyping software, real-time collaboration) to speed up and elevate the creative process.

Requirements

• 5 - 7 years of experience in creative direction, art direction, or design leadership roles across agencies, media, branding, or production.
• A strong portfolio that spans branding, digital, motion, experiential, and content — showing taste, systems thinking, and creative leadership.

Mastery of:

• Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere)
• Figma or Sketch for digital and layout collaboration
• Bonus: Lightroom, Final Cut, or DaVinci for production awareness.

Experience overseeing:

• A good balance of artistic instinct and executional discipline.
• A strong understanding of brand storytelling, visual hierarchy, typography, color theory, and spatial design.
