Senior Art Director

As a Senior Art Director at Colle McVoy, you’ll be responsible for delivering brand-building, big ideas, putting your design skills to work and executing creative across mediums. You’ll spend a lot of time with a copywriter dreaming up ridiculously big ideas and then bring them to life. Sometimes you’ll work with outside vendors such as photographers, retouchers, illustrators, directors, animators, editors, influencers and other production partners. You may even work with an animal trainer or a chainsaw juggler at some point, if you’re lucky. So, if you’d like to work for an agency that has a sweet rooftop deck overlooking downtown, a tap server and has been named a Best Places to Work consecutively for twelve years, then show us what you’ve got.
