Job Title: Art Director

Location: Frisco, TX (HYBRID)

Duration: 3-6 Months

This role is about future proofing and relentlessly evolving our base creative. From email to direct mail, we’re looking for an experienced Art Director who can work closely with the Creative Director, Art Directors, Designers, Copywriters, and Studio Managers to build our base communications! This role is responsible for developing creative campaigns in one of the most visible and direct lines of communication with our customer base. From content expressions and digital story-telling all the way to demand gen and offers, your job will be to help develop design coming out of our marketing and advertising channels in support of key business initiatives.

We’re looking for a creative who can do it all: UX design, concept, art direction, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and most importantly, execution.

You will work with the T | Studios senior leadership, marketing leaders, and the creative, digital and production groups to build industry leading design that amplifies our message and elevates our brand. This role also requires an ability to work closely with leaders within T | Studios to translate their thinking and/or strategy into creative executions, presentations and engaging content.

• Build compelling brand-right experiences for email and direct mail.
• Work with modular design systems and brand libraries within Adobe XD.
• Enforce and enhance our base communication design style guide and design systems.
• Have a strong understanding of UX design, web font hierarchy, email anatomy, and UX best practices.
• Create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups that are optimized for responsive design.
• Champion human-centered design. Enhance design by improving usability, accessibility, innovation, and interaction.
• Work independently and proactively. You can take a brief or a conversation and turn it into an idea. You know when to collaborate with other designers.
• Present your team’s work thoroughly and thoughtfully to the Creative Director and senior leadership. Communicate standard methodologies for design and reasoning behind UX decisions.
• Client’s success is due to our ability to craft a motivational story around people and our purpose. We create content that speaks with people — not at them. You should be able to design and steer work toward this mission.
• You relish the opportunity to be consistently creative. You work well under pressure, can deliver on steep timelines, and always keep an eye on the larger narrative.
• Aren’t precious about your work. Don’t get us wrong – we want passionate creative thinkers. But we also want Creatives seasoned enough to know when to push back, when to take feedback, and when to move on.
• Possess strong creative chops. We want to push the needle.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Design or related field and five years related work experience or 10 years related work experience post high school.
