Art Director at Stio - Mountain Brand Creative

Art Director at Stio - Mountain Brand Creative Role — Remote

This role at Stio is not suited for a fully location-independent lifestyle
. It is a headquarters-based position (Jackson, WY or Denver, CO) requiring physical presence for on-location photo/video productions, retail store creative work, and regular cross-functional collaboration. The job description does not mention remote or hybrid options.

However, the role does include 4–6 weeks of travel per year for on-location shoots — meaning you'll likely visit mountain destinations, outdoor environments, and potentially international locations that align with Stio's brand aesthetic. This is a genuine perk for someone who loves being in the field.

This role requires U.S.

-based employment. Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Non-U.S. digital nomads on tourist visas cannot legally take this position.

The $85,000–$100,000 salary is reasonable for Jackson, WY, though Jackson has one of the highest costs of living in the U.S. (median rent for a 1  can exceed $2,500/mo). In Denver, CO, purchasing power is somewhat better. This is not a remote-eligible role, so nomad cost arbitrage does not apply.

If you're seeking a role that combines creative direction with genuine outdoor adventure and mountain culture,
this job offers meaningful in-field experience — just not the flexibility of full remote work.

The Art Director, Brand & Concepts is responsible for shaping how Stio looks and feels across every touchpoint — from seasonal campaigns and product launches to brand identity, packaging, retail environments, and events. This role partners closely with the Associate Creative Director to develop and execute brand and seasonal product marketing creative that is visually distinctive, emotionally resonant, and deeply rooted in mountain life.

This is a role for a creative who brings both a strong conceptual point of view and the executional range to bring ideas to life at a high level. Someone who can pitch a campaign concept to senior leadership just as confidently as they can translate it into a finished asset, and who is equally at home on location, art directing lifestyle photo and video productions alongside photographers, stylists, filmmakers, models, and athletes.
