We’re looking for a MIDWEIGHT ART DIRECTOR who thrives on creating bold, original ideas that resonate and disrupt. You’re someone who isn’t just passionate about design—you’re a thinker, a conceptual powerhouse who can generate big ideas and transform them into visually compelling, culture-defining work.

- Leadership Skills: Take ownership of projects, guiding junior team members while collaborating seamlessly with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
- Expertise in AI Tools: Strong understanding of AI tools like MidJourney, DALL·E, or other generative platforms, with the ability to use AI creatively to enhance ideas and outputs.
