We're looking for an Art Director who can hold a big idea and the smallest kerning detail in the same head and who has already done it for international clients, in international rooms, in English, on their timezone. This is a craft role and a systems role. You'll art direct campaigns and you'll be expected to use AI tooling as part of how the work gets made, not only generative but repeatable workflow. What You'll Do Concept and art direct integrated campaigns across digital, social, OOH, and content in general. Partner with a copywriter, creatives, designers and producers from first idea through final delivery Own the visual craft: layout, typography, composition, colour, motion, and photography. Since the team works with both Adobe Creative Suite and Figma, you must be fluent. Present and defend work directly to international clients on calls, and in the room Build campaign toolkits and design systems that hold up when adapted across markets, languages, and formats Design and maintain AI-assisted production workflows for the team from concepting and pre-viz to asset variation and versioning at scale Keep quality control tight on AI-generated output: rights, brand safety, model bias, artefacts, and consistency What You'll Bring Agency Experience 5+ Years Minimum five years as an Art Director (or equivalent) inside an advertising or creative agency. You know how agency life actually works: briefs that change, internal reviews, client feedback rounds, and delivery deadlines that don't move. Genuine International Client Experience This one matters, so we'll be specific: we're looking for someone who has worked directly with an international client team, a brand headquartered or managed outside your own market, with stakeholders in another country. Servicing the domestic branch of a global brand does not count for this requirement. We want someone used to global brand guardians, regional stakeholders, multi-market rollouts, and the specific rhythm of working with people you've mostly never met in person. Spoken English Fluency Fluent, confident spoken English not just written. You should be comfortable presenting concepts, taking live feedback, disagreeing productively, and running a workshop with a client on the other side of the world. Comfort working across timezones is expected. AI Fluency Generative and Pipeline Non-negotiable, and we mean genuine working fluency, not "I've tried a few prompts." Generative:
