Art Director, Digital

Spherical is looking for an Art Director, Digital to help shape and bring to life the digital expression of some of the world’s most distinctive hospitality brands.

This is a senior creative role for someone with exceptional visual judgment, deep digital fluency, and the ability to translate overarching creative direction into rich, coherent experiences across channels.

You will take strong creative ideas and turn them into fully realized digital worlds, carrying the vision from concept through execution across websites, campaigns, social, content, photography and video, paid media, email, motion, and emerging digital experiences.

Sitting within Spherical’s Creative team, you will work closely with our Head of Creative and Content Director while collaborating across Strategy, Integrated Marketing, Product, and Technology. You will help bring those disciplines together through visual expression and create continuity across the many ways a hospitality brand comes to life.

This role is both conceptual and hands on. You should be comfortable defining a visual direction, building the system behind it, directing other creatives, working closely with UX, product, and development teams, and understanding how creative decisions translate into real digital experiences.

• Translate brand strategy and creative direction into compelling digital experiences, visual systems, campaigns, and executions.
• Lead the visual articulation of websites and digital experiences from early creative exploration through final execution.
• Extend creative concepts across websites, social media, paid media, email, campaigns, content, and other digital touchpoints.
• Develop visual territories, references, design principles, mood boards, and creative frameworks that give multidisciplinary teams clear direction.
• Art direct photography, video, motion, graphics, typography, and other visual content across client engagements.
• Partner closely with our Content Director to connect editorial thinking, storytelling, imagery, and visual expression.
• Collaborate closely with Product & Technology on UX, interaction, responsive behavior, motion, prototyping, and technical execution.
• Understand how design systems translate across breakpoints, templates, components, and real product constraints.
• Work through creative and technical tradeoffs with product leads and developers while protecting the integrity of the idea.
• Work closely with Integrated Marketing teams to shape high-quality creative for social, performance marketing, campaigns, and other audience-facing channels.
• Direct and mentor designers, providing clear creative feedback and raising the quality and consistency of the work.
• Work collaboratively with writers, strategists, photographers, filmmakers, developers, product leads, and external creative partners.
• Present creative work directly to clients, articulating the thinking behind the work and connecting creative decisions to brand, audience, strategy, and business objectives.
• Maintain a strong understanding of each client’s broader creative world so individual executions feel connected rather than isolated.
• Bring new references, ideas, technologies, and creative possibilities into the studio from hospitality, travel, culture, fashion, art, design, and media.
• Help evolve Spherical’s approach to digital art direction and integrated creative work.

You are an art director and designer with a distinctly digital mind.

You understand how brands live today through websites, interfaces, moving image, photography, social feeds, campaigns, content, and evolving digital environments. You bring strong brand sensibility together with a deep understanding of how creative ideas translate into digital experiences.
