We’re on the hunt for an Art Director with killer instincts and an eye for the unexpected. You’ll lead the charge on our seasonal campaigns—bringing them to life across print, digital, and everything in between—with a strong sense of style and an even stronger sense of brand. From lookbooks to signage to big-picture storytelling, you’ll make sure every touchpoint is a vibe.

This role isn’t just about taste (though you’ve got that in spades)—it’s about leadership. You’ll guide and grow a small but mighty team, keep creative standards sky-high, and make sure our brand feels consistent, cohesive, and creatively fresh across all channels.

• Dream up and direct seasonal campaign creative that’s conceptually bold and visually magnetic
• Lead print design from branding to OOH to internal creative that speaks to our customers and employees
• Keep our visual identity consistent across every platform (store, digital, social, you name it)
• Partner with social, branding, ecomm, and cross‑functional teammates to bring campaigns to life
• Manage two talented designers, mentoring with care and championing their growth
• Run creative reviews like a pro—clear, collaborative, and always with high standards
• Stay tapped into trends and cultural shifts to keep our creative work sharp and relevant

• 6+ years in brand or agency design, with at least 2 years leading creative or managing designers
• Portfolio that proves your superpowers: big ideas, polished execution, multi‑channel magic
• Print‑savvy with a love for layout, typography, and all the little details
• Strong communicator with the confidence to lead and the openness to collaborate
• Organized, efficient, and cool under pressure (especially around seasonal crunch time)
• Invested in building a brand—not just designing for one
• Bonus Points For:
• Fashion, beauty, or lifestyle brand experience
• Motion chops or a knack for video direction
• A strong POV on seasonal color stories, type pairings, and campaign world‑building
