  • Lead creative project teams and provide creative direction, guidance and mentorship.
  • Manage multiple projects from conception to completion to meet deadlines and budgets.
  • Collaborate with account teams as a true strategic and client partner.
  • Ensure visuals, messaging and interactive elements of a project are properly aligned with the creative vision, brand standards and high quality our clients deserve.
  • Establish schedules for short- and long-term projects, plan jobs accordingly and ensure goals and deadlines are met.
  • Ask smart questions, take risks and champion new ideas.
  • Utilize forward-thinking new technologies, like AI, in the development of creative solutions.

Qualifications

  • Holds a fine arts degree or an undergraduate degree in graphic design, visual communication, typography or a related subject, or equivalent professional experience.
  • Has 5+ years of art direction experience working on complex communications issues in all media and in an agency environment.
  • Have strong supervisory, people management and leadership skills.
  • Understands today’s media landscape — especially video and motion graphics.
  • Possesses excellent interpersonal skills to clearly and effectively communicate creative vision, concepts, ideas and solutions to stakeholders, internal teams and clients.
  • Demonstrates ability to work effectively in a team setting, including synthesizing abstract ideas into concrete design implications.
  • Exhibits knowledge of AI and emerging technologies — highly preferred but not required.
  • Resides in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Additional Benefits

  • 100% employer-covered premiums on Life insurance, AD&D and STD (Short Term Disability).
  • 401(k) employer plan with employer safe harbor match and discretionary profit sharing.
