Our global children’s entertainment client is looking to bring on a Freelance Art Director!
This position is a freelance opening, supporting a 40 hour per week schedule. Our client’s culture is extremely collaborative/tight knit, so they do prefer talent that can be onsite 2x a week in NYC to participate in creative brainstorms and work cross functionally. This is non-negotiable.
We are also seeking talent that have experience with character work/character design (preferably a brand or product that is made for children.) Ideal candidates have worked with liscensed products, have created style guides for our client’s liscensing team, managed/mentored more junior/senior designers and will be providing strategic feedback and recommendations based on created designs.
As an overview:
-Looking for a hands-on Art Director who understands character work/character design.
-Responsible for leading conceptual build of style guides that speak to all of their different styles of our client’s characters and how to use them from licensing, style guides, to EPC (educational play centers).
-Large focus on product style guides- would prefer talent that have created these in past/current experiences.
-Overseeing other designers – more strategic/art direction focus but needs to be a team player and able to roll up their sleeves as needed. NOT purely conceptual.
–Manage bringing in agency partners (that they have pre-identified) to complete the work OR working with internal teams for delivery.
– Will juggle multiple projects at the same time.
-Ability to be able to strategize with illustrators.
-Understands building a logo, dynamics of working with apparel and licensing teams
