We are looking for a visionary Senior Creative Director, Art to lead the visual charge for our highest-profile brand and integrated Above-The-Line (ATL) campaigns. This isn't a role for a passive overseer; it's for a master craftsman who thrives in the trenches of big-idea concepting and possesses the design genius to execute them flawlessly.

AI as Your Creative Co-Pilot:
We don't just adopt technology; we pioneer it. At Verizon, we believe AI shouldn't replace human genius-it should liberate it. In this role, you won't just tolerate GenAI; you will champion it to supercharge our creative development pipeline. We leverage advanced AI tools to accelerate brainstorming, execute rapid visual prototyping, and smash through routine generation bottlenecks. We expect you to treat AI as an expansive, collaborative canvas-using it to test the boundaries of "what if" at lightning speed, freeing up your team to focus on what matters most: deeply human, authentic, and jaw-dropping storytelling.

You will form a tight, powerhouse partnership with a Senior Creative Director, Copy , serving as the two-headed monster behind our biggest narrative swings. Additionally, you will directly manage and mentor one Art Director , fostering their growth while ensuring our visual output remains unmatched.

• Drive Big ATL & Integrated Work:
  Conceptualize and execute groundbreaking, full-funnel integrated campaigns with a massive emphasis on top-tier broadcast, digital, and out-of-home media.
• Champion Social-First Thinking:
  Infuse every campaign with native social media DNA. We don't just adapt TV spots for social platforms; we want you to invent visual languages that stop the scroll and drive cultural conversation.
• The Power Couple Dynamic:
  Partner seamlessly with your Sr. CD Copy counterpart to co-lead projects from initial brief through production, ensuring tight visual and verbal synergy.
• Direct & Mentor:
  Manage, inspire, and elevate one dedicated Art Director, guiding their conceptual development and protecting the integrity of their craft.
• Push Brand Boundaries:
  Honor the foundational principles of the Verizon brand while constantly finding fresh, daring ways to evolve its visual identity.
• Command the Room:
  Confidently pitch, defend, and articulate complex visual strategies to senior executive leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

• Bachelor's degree or four or more years of work experience.
• Six or more years of relevant experience required, demonstrated through one or a combination of work and/or military experience, or specialized training.

• Ten over more years of experience within top-tier advertising agencies or world-class in-house creative teams, with a heavily decorated portfolio showcasing award-winning ATL and integrated work.
• Proven experience navigating, scaling, and delivering high-stakes creative for a major Fortune 100 brand. You know how to make a massive enterprise move with the agility of a startup.
• A deep, uncompromising passion for typography, design, photography, cinematography, and motion graphics. You know what looks good, and more importantly, why it works.
• Extensive experience leading high-budget commercial shoots, lifestyle photography, and working closely with top-tier directors and production houses.

You are zero-ego, highly collaborative, and deeply invested in the growth of your team.

In this hybrid role, you'll have a defined work location that includes working from home and a minimum of three days per week in the office, which will be set by your manager. Employees are responsible for maintaining compliance with hybrid work policies.
