Job Summary

We are searching for an Art Director who blends a love of beauty with sharp design instincts, clear creative judgment, and a true passion for mentoring others. This role reports directly to the Creative Director and manages 4 direct reports, serving as the day-to-day design lead and quality steward across all brand touchpoints. You’ll be responsible for translating high-level brand direction into pixel-perfect executions, providing clear and constructive feedback to the design team, and spearheading campaigns and projects with confidence and independence. You’ll also champion a social-first mindset, ensuring every idea and asset resonates with Gen Z consumers and feels culturally relevant across platforms. If you’re energized by change, able to pivot priorities without losing focus, and can bring a calm, can-do attitude to every project (no matter how fast things move), you’ll feel right at home.

Major Green Flags If You

  • Have a real passion for beauty – branding, packaging, product drops, and everything in between
  • Love rolling up your sleeves to design, art direct, and elevate work in equal measure
  • Naturally think in platform-specific content (what works on TikTok, Reels, and Stories and know how to adapt ideas to each channel while keeping them on-brand)
  • Have an instinct for what makes content scroll-stopping and packaging shelf-worthy
  • Can provide feedback that is clear, actionable, and elevates the work without micromanaging
  • Enjoy mentoring designers and raising the bar for every project, big or small
  • Are comfortable taking a campaign from concept to completion without heavy handholding
  • Believe brand consistency and creative innovation go hand-in-hand

Responsibilities

Creative Leadership & Brand Stewardship

  • Serve as the right hand to the Creative Director, owning day-to-day design quality and consistency
  • Translate creative vision into design briefs, moodboards, and final assets across campaigns, launches, and brand initiatives
  • Lead and mentor a team of designers, ensuring work is pixel-perfect, on-brand, and delivered on schedule
  • Provide timely, constructive feedback that helps designers grow and strengthens the final output
  • Collaborate closely with the Director of Creative Operations to keep projects moving efficiently

Campaign Development & Execution

  • Spearhead the development of omnichannel campaigns with a social-first approach, concepting and executing ideas that are optimized for TikTok, Instagram, and emerging platforms where Gen Z discovers and engages with beauty brands
  • Ensure all creative work is designed for shareability, trend relevance, and thumb-stopping impact on social channels
  • Concept and art direct photo and video shoots that bring products and brand storytelling to life
  • Own visual direction for new product launches, including packaging design oversight and go-to-market assets
  • Create and refine design systems, templates, and brand tools to ensure scalability and alignment

Production & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work with copywriters, marketers, and external partners to develop cohesive creative solutions
  • Oversee the preparation of print-ready and digital-ready files, ensuring all specs are precise and error-free
  • Partner with the Creative Director to continuously evolve the brand aesthetic in response to trends and consumer insights
  • Support the creation of sales tools, retailer materials, and internal brand communications as needed

Bonus If You

  • Have experience building or scaling brands from startup to national presence
  • Are passionate about packaging design, material innovation, and sensory storytelling
  • Bring 2D and 3D rendering expertise to help visualize packaging, merchandising, and creative concepts in a compelling way
  • Nerd out over print finishes, color matching, and production spec

Other Responsibilities

  • Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
  • Experience leading creative teams and giving feedback that inspires and guides
