Temporary - Senior Art Director

About the role

As a Senior Art Director , you'll be a hands-on creative force within a multidisciplinary team led by the Group Creative Director. You'll help bring big ideas to life, executing standout work across digital, social, and video with a sharp eye for craft, storytelling, and design excellence. This role sits in the details - designing, building, and refining creative assets - while contributing to broader campaign narratives and visual systems. You'll collaborate closely with Creative Directors, Designers, Copywriters, Producers, and Strategists to deliver work that feels native to the platform, on-brand for a major client (one of the world's leading e-commerce and technology platforms), and scalable across markets. We're looking for a Senior Art Director who is fluent in digital design, strong in visual storytelling, and comfortable creating high-quality work at speed. You'll bring both conceptual thinking and pixel-perfect execution , along with AI fluency to help evolve and activate an established brand system across multiple sub-brands and channels. This is not a role focused on building new brands from scratch. It's about taking an existing brand system and bringing it to life - pushing it forward thoughtfully, expressing it with clarity and consistency, and elevating the work at scale. You'll operate within a complex, multi-brand ecosystem, creating concepts, visual systems, and executions that feel fresh while remaining unmistakably on-brand. Working Hours This role is remote, but the team operates on Pacific Time (PST/PDT) . Candidates must be able to work primarily within these hours. ** This is a 3-6 month temporary role with the potential to be extended or converted to a full-time position.
