Job Description

We are seeking a brilliant Creative Director, Art Director with strong and proven conceptual ideas to join our world-class creative team on a client in the Beauty/Luxury category. You should be able to work independently as well as collaboratively, owning a project without any handholding needed. You should be able to work and lead, owning an array of client projects. Excellent client relationship and presentation skills are expected.

Key Responsibilities
  • Concept and collaborate on integrated campaign ideas and digital tactics for a client in the Beauty space with a creative team, while working on multiple projects.
  • Oversee the translation of the client's vision into a roadmap that guides our agency, not only to achieve client goals, but also to generate work that is creatively brilliant, measurable, and culturally impactful.
  • Craft original concepts, execute art based on established voice/tone, and collaborate with mid- and junior-level creatives from concept to execution.
  • Partner with the Group Creative Director to concept, create, present, and defend work while addressing client needs.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across the agency to ensure timely deliverables.
  • Anticipate team and client needs, project risks, and participate in driving resolution.
  • Inspire clients and co-workers through good work, good spirit, and excellent communication.
Requirements
  • Current credibility as either an ACD or Creative Director, with a targeted minimum of 9 years of experience as an Art Director at gradually more senior levels in advertising.
  • The ability to bring original thinking and concepts to life in this space; not just beautiful images or styling that are solely aesthetically pleasing.
  • A passion for - and commitment to - creating work that is truly inclusive, reflecting the full spectrum of Beauty that walks the planet.
  • Experience in the Beauty category is highly valued, though we may have flexibility to consider candidates whose work demonstrates strong conceptual thinking for other transferrable projects.
  • Portfolio with successfully launched client projects and concepts across broadcast work, digital, social, and everything in between.
  • Solid understanding of creative development-from drafting briefs to executing deliverables.
  • Well-versed in the scriptwriting process and in crafting contributions to both short and long-form content.
  • Ability to direct and mentor junior team members.
  • Ability to handle a high-volume environment with rapid turnaround times and manage multiple tasks and project details.
  • Practiced time management skills and a strong work ethic.

This is a unique opportunity to join a world-class creative team and contribute to the development of innovative and impactful work. If you are a creative leader with a passion for art direction and a commitment to inclusivity, we encourage you to apply.

We offer a competitive benefits package, including a generous 401k match, comprehensive health coverage, and a variety of paid time off offerings. We also provide opportunities for growth and development, including training and mentorship programs.
