Art Director
Oh, hello there. We’re looking for an Art Director who’s ready to join our team of self-starters. Someone who cares intensely about the work they create, but also about the relationships they build. We’re looking for someone to be a positive force for good in their attitude and impact. If that describes you, we hope you’ll keep reading.
When it comes to your career, you’re driven by a thirst for great ideas. Ideas that get noticed and recognized, but also ones that solve business problems for our clients. You are fanatical about getting the details correct. Having that logo even one pixel too far to the left isn’t acceptable. You’re also a fantastic collaborator, a true team player who craves input from your coworkers in order to make the work as good as it can be. For you, what’s right is right.
Above all, we’re looking for a great human being who looks at art and design more as a passion than as a career. I mean, we’ll still pay you, of course – but you get the idea.
There’s that word again. Ideas. Let’s start creating some, shall we?
