Art Director (Vowel)
VOWEL is looking for a standout Art Director who's been waiting for the right opportunity to shine in an innovative, forward-thinking environment. We're looking for candidates who drive creative discussion – whether it's a brainstorm, a pitch or a conference call. We need someone with an infectious, passionate spirit who will be excited to partner with some of the smartest brands out there. The ideal candidate is a great collaborator, co-conspirator, and also a leader who can manage up, down, and side to side.
The right candidate will know a good strategy when they see one. They should love being in the heart of the action and will be able to crank out quality work at high speed, but will also get excited to delegate effectively to our incredible design team. The candidate will help train others to distinguish tactics from ideas, designs from concepts, and reasons from rationale. This person also thrives in operational harmony with their cross functional counterparts.
At its core, the Art Director role at VOWEL is the lead on all creative-specific project elements, including phases from project inception to project completion. However, this role needs to champion a much broader skill set than just the ability to create beautiful content. We're looking for a solution-oriented team player who can manage a project (at both the internal and client level), as well as instilling a project methodology to ensure time and cost efficiencies.
