About the Role

We’re looking for an Art Director to lead and elevate the creative vision of a fast-moving beauty brand. This role is both hands-on and leadership-focused —you’ll actively design, art direct, and manage projects, while also mentoring and guiding a team of four designers (Senior, Mid, Junior, and Packaging).

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, brings strong on-set production experience , and has a track record in CPG and/or Health/Beauty with packaging design as a plus . You’ll translate big-picture brand direction into pixel-perfect executions across social, digital, packaging, and e-commerce, ensuring every touchpoint is trend-relevant and aligned with Gen Z audiences.

Campaign Development & Execution

  • Lead omnichannel campaign development with a social-first mindset (TikTok, Instagram, Reels, emerging platforms)
  • Concept and art direct photo and video shoots , from pre-production through post-production
  • Own the creative direction for new product launches , including packaging, marketing assets, and go-to-market visuals
  • Ensure creative output is culturally relevant, shareable, and optimized for engagement
  • Build scalable systems—templates, guidelines, and toolkits—for consistent brand execution

Production & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate with copywriters, marketers, and external partners to deliver cohesive creative solutions
  • Ensure all files are production-ready , accurate, and polished for both print and digital channels
  • Evolve the brand aesthetic in response to consumer insights and design trends
  • Support the development of sales tools, retailer assets, and internal communications

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years in graphic design, art direction, or brand creative (beauty or CPG strongly preferred)
  • Proven on-set production experience (photo and video)
  • Packaging design experience and understanding of packaging life cycles
  • Strong portfolio showcasing visual storytelling, campaigns, and brand work
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
  • Figma and Canva skills, a plus
  • Experience leading and mentoring creative teams
  • Deep knowledge of social-first content and beauty design trends
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable juggling multiple fast-moving projects
  • Excellent communicator and collaborator, with confidence presenting work
  • Portfolio required- Strong portfolio showcasing visual storytelling, campaigns, and brand work ( website required; PDFs not accepted )

Bonus Points

  • Experience scaling a brand from startup to national presence

  • 2D/3D rendering skills to bring packaging and merchandising concepts to life
  • Knowledge of print finishes, color matching, and production specs
