The Role

We're looking for a highly creative, hands-on Art Director with exceptional design sensibilities, robust conceptual thinking and an obsession with craft.

You will translate creative ideas and campaign concepts into compelling visual worlds across social media, advertising, branding, digital platforms and integrated campaigns.

You'll work closely with the Creative Director, copywriters, designers, editors and account teams to create work that stands out.

This is a hands-on art direction role. You must be an excellent designer yourself.

- Integrate AI-generated elements with professional design and compositing.
- Refine AI outputs to meet real advertising and brand standards.

- Provide constructive feedback and help improve the quality of team output.
- Participate in brainstorming, campaign development and creative reviews.
- Support the efficient allocation and completion of assigned design work.

- Understand briefs thoroughly and raise questions before execution.
- Manage timelines and communicate risks early.
- Ensure all final artwork is accurate, organised and ready for the intended platform.
