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:

Strong hands-on command of image and video generation tools

Prompt craft as an actual skill  you can get to a specific result on purpose, not by accident

Character, product, and style consistency across a campaign's worth of assets

Pipeline / Workflow:

Experience building node-based or chained workflows (ComfyUI or similar) rather than only using consumer interfaces

Custom model work: Fine-tuning for brand, product, or character consistency

Automating repetitive production  batch variation, resizing, versioning, localisation  via workflow tools or APIs

A point of view on where AI belongs in the creative process and, more importantly, where it doesn't

Portfolio

A portfolio that shows strategic thinking and craft, not just execution. Please include at least one case with international client involvement, and be ready to walk us through one AI-assisted workflow you built.

Nice to Have

Motion, 3D, or real-time tooling (After Effects, Blender, Cinema4D, Unreal)

Basic scripting or comfort with APIs

Awards recognition, though we're more interested in the work than the metal
