About 4ocean
4ocean is a purpose-driven company on a mission to end the ocean plastic crisis. Through our direct cleanup efforts, product sales, and partnerships with organizations worldwide, we’re building a cleaner, more sustainable future for the ocean. We’re looking for a creative and experienced Art Director to join our team and lead the charge in crafting impactful, on-brand designs that inspire action and drive engagement.

This role emphasizes hands-on design work, requiring expertise in creating marketing assets, digital content, and branding materials.

  • Translate complex ideas into effective visual storytelling that resonates with audiences.
  • Iterate on design concepts based on feedback and performance metrics.
  • Ensure all creative work meets marketing strategy goals and contributes to engagement and conversion improvements.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with the Creative Director, marketing, and partnerships teams to align on creative goals and campaign strategies.
  • Collaborate with developers, copywriters, and other creative team members to produce cohesive and high-impact campaigns.
  • Participate in brainstorming sessions to develop fresh, innovative creative approaches.

• 7+ years of experience in a design role, with at least 3 years in an art director or senior designer position, ideally in an agency or in-house creative team.
• Proven ability to take design projects from concept to completion, with a strong portfolio demonstrating hands-on execution.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and other design tools.
• Strong understanding of UX/UI design principles, web design, and mobile responsiveness.
• Exceptional design skills with a keen eye for typography, color, and layout.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with experience working cross-functionally.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Passion for sustainability and alignment with 4ocean’s mission.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with motion graphics, animation, or video editing tools.
• Expertise in website design, including landing pages and e-commerce sites.
• Familiarity with HTML/CSS for email design.
• Experience in retail or e-commerce marketing campaigns.

Success Metrics

• Creative Quality: Designs are visually compelling, innovative, and aligned with 4ocean’s brand identity and sustainability mission.
• Campaign Performance: Measurable improvements in engagement, conversion rates, and other relevant metrics.
