We are looking for a player-coach who loves to push creative boundaries, mentor top-tier talent, and provide honest, growth-oriented feedback that inspires designers to do the best work of their careers.

Once you're eligible, you'll become an Owner in the company, so we're looking for commitment, hard work, and focus on quality and Customer service.

Drive Art Direction & Concepts: Act as the creative compass for our brand, leading high-level concept development and art direction for print, promotional, store collateral, and physical experiences.

Coach, Push, and Cultivate Creativity: Foster a thriving, forward-thinking team culture. Challenge your designers to take calculated risks, explore fresh visual narratives, and continuously elevate their craft.

Give Honest, Growth-Oriented Feedback: Provide transparent, constructive, and encouraging feedback that accelerates professional growth, sharpens strategic thinking, and builds creative confidence.

Protect & Evolve the Brand: Brand steward, ensuring absolute visual integrity and consistency across every platform while finding smart ways to keep the brand modern and relevant.

Collaboration: Partnering seamlessly with different teams in marketing, including strategy, content, copywriters, studio, and production teams, to deliver exceptional work on time.

What We're Looking For:

Experience: 5+ years of graphic design experience with a strong portfolio showcasing high-end brand identity, art direction, and non-digital/print campaigns; previous leadership or management experience required.

Conceptual & Artistic Mastery: A proven track record of translating high-level strategy into striking, thumb-stopping visual concepts.

A Passion for Mentorship: A natural coach who takes pride in developing talent, nurturing creativity, and giving clear, actionable feedback.
