Art Director

Overview

At Techo-Bloc, we are entrepreneurial and innovators at heart who love to roll up our sleeves, jump right in and get things done. We boast 9 cutting-edge manufacturing facilities, 13+ distribution centers, and a dynamic team of over 900 employees located across 20+ locations in North America. We have ambitious growth plans and a restless pursuit of excellence. We live to create, and we invest in great ideas.

We take pride in offering a collaborative, inclusive and positive working environment.

At Techo-Bloc, design isn’t decoration — it’s how we communicate who we are, what we stand for, and where we’re going. From our catalogs and campaigns to our photography, digital experiences, and brand storytelling, every visual touchpoint is an opportunity to elevate how our brand is perceived across North America.

Our creative team sits at the heart of that expression. We’re not just producing assets — we’re shaping a design language that blends editorial thinking, technical excellence, and real-world application in the design and construction space.

This role is your opportunity to help define how our work looks, feels, and evolves, to mentor the next generation of designers, and to push our creative output forward through innovation — including the intelligent, practical use of AI in design and production.

Reporting to the Senior Manager, Creative & Design, the Art Director / Creative Lead is the guardian of day-to-day creative excellence at Techo-Bloc.

You are both leader and maker — equally comfortable giving high-level direction and rolling up your sleeves to refine work, solve problems, and raise the bar. You will guide designers, shape production and photoshoots, and ensure every piece of creative that leaves the team is clear, intentional, and production ready.

You are also a catalyst for what’s next. This role leads the exploration and implementation of AI tools and workflows to improve efficiency, elevate quality, and reduce reliance on external partners, ensuring our creative process evolves as quickly as our ambition.

If you thrive in a role where craft, leadership, and innovation intersect, this is where you belong — with a competitive salary starting at $90,000+++, based on experience!
