Responsibilities
We’re looking for an experienced Art Director to lead the creative vision across our projects, from motion design and 3D animation to marketing materials and brand communications. You’ll split your time between hands-on design work and directing a small team of two graphic designers, a 3D artist, and external contractors. This role is equal parts creative leadership and execution: roughly 50% of your time will be spent setting and guiding creative direction across projects, and 50% producing high-quality design work yourself.

- Stay on top of design trends, motion graphics techniques, and emerging tools to keep our output fresh and competitive
Team Direction & Collaboration
- Direct and mentor two graphic designers and a 3D artist, providing clear creative guidance and constructive feedback
- Brief and coordinate external contractors (freelance animators, illustrators, photographers), ensuring their output aligns with the project’s creative vision
- Run internal creative reviews, catching quality or consistency issues before work reaches the client
- Foster a collaborative environment where the team can push creative boundaries while meeting deadlines
Hands-On Design & Production
- Design key visuals, style frames, and hero assets that anchor the creative direction of projects
- Create motion graphics, animated content, and marketing materials as needed
- Build and maintain design templates, brand guidelines, and asset libraries for recurring clients
- Step in on production work when the team needs support during peak periods
Client & Project Involvement
- Participate in client briefings, translating business objectives into compelling creative approaches
- Collaborate closely with project managers to align creative ambitions with timelines, budgets, and scope
- Navigate client feedback rounds, balancing creative integrity with client expectations
- Contribute to proposals and pitches with visual concepts and creative estimates
Requirements
Essential Skills & Experience
- Minimum 5 years of professional design experience, with at least 2 years in a creative leadership or art direction role
- Strong portfolio demonstrating creative direction across motion design, marketing materials, and branded content
- Experience leading or directing a small creative team
- Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, especially After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign
- Solid understanding of motion design principles, animation workflows, and video production pipelines
- Experience working with corporate and enterprise clients on marketing campaigns and brand communications
- Fluent English proficiency (written and verbal), must be able to present to and correspond with international clients
Personal Attributes
- A sharp creative eye with an obsession for visual quality and consistency
- Natural ability to give clear, constructive creative feedback that elevates the team’s work
- Comfortable switching between big-picture creative thinking and hands-on pixel-level execution
- Strong communicator who can articulate design decisions to both creative teams and non-design stakeholders
- Solutions-oriented mindset, you find ways to deliver great work within real-world constraints
- Self-motivated and organized, able to manage your own workload across multiple parallel projects
