We are seeking an experienced Art Director who is a true multidisciplinary powerhouse. This role is ideal for a visual storyteller who goes beyond design layouts-someone who can craft compelling narratives, capture original content, and bring ideas to life through motion.

Develop engaging customer experiences and touchpoints across digital and physical channels. - Agile Video Production:
Lead lean, high-impact video shoots-from concepting and storyboarding to directing and camera operation-producing authentic content for social, web, and internal platforms. - Motion & Storytelling:
Transform concepts and footage into dynamic visual stories using motion design tools such as Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro. - Digital Product Collaboration:
Create high-fidelity prototypes in Figma, ensuring designs align with HTML/CSS capabilities and constraints. - Strategic Partnership:
Collaborate with brand managers, marketers, and data teams to translate complex insights into compelling, performance-driven creative-especially for B2B audiences. - Leadership & Ownership:
Manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment, mentor junior designers, and oversee contractors or agency partners when needed.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Resourceful Maker:
Hands-on creator who can deliver high-quality output with minimal resources; comfortable shooting content using DSLR or mobile devices. - Verbal & Visual Thinker:
Ability to craft compelling copy that complements visual storytelling and ensures brand consistency. - Dynamic Storyteller:
Strong understanding of motion, pacing, and digital storytelling beyond static design. - Technically Fluent:
Deep understanding of how design translates into development, enabling seamless collaboration with engineers.
