Full Job Description
Someone who can take a brief, distill it to its core, and turn it into work that inspires. A visually-driven, concept-first thinker who knows how to find the big idea, shape a compelling story, and bring others along in the process.

As a senior member of the team, you'll help shape the work-not just make it. You'll lead ideas from concept through execution, elevating creativity across accounts, and providing feedback to fellow creatives. You're as comfortable rolling up your sleeves as you are setting a creative bar, and you believe great work should be both beautifully crafted and strategically grounded.

You'll work across print, digital, video, social and whatever comes next-partnering closely with writers, designers, strategists, and video producers to create work that connects with people.
In order to be successful in this role:
  • You bring a strong point of view and know how to evolve ideas without losing their core
  • You have a strong understanding of typography, photography, illustration, and design systems
  • You think beyond channels, solving marketing challenges holistically
  • You've done this before, with a portfolio that shows craft, taste, and range
  • You contribute to client presentations and new business pitches
  • You foster collaboration and help elevate the work through shared thinking
  • You're curious about emerging tools, including AI, and comfortable using them to support concepting,exploration, and efficiency.
Requirements:
  • Ability to work in our Boston office 2x/week (Tuesday/Wednesday), or more depending on shoot and project needs
  • Ability to travel independently to shoots and client meetings when needed
  • Mastery of creative tools (Adobe CS, Figma, Gen AI, etc.)
  • 6-8 years of art direction experience developing and leading creative ideas
  • A portfolio of work that showcases creativity and storytelling abilities

Please note, all employees are required to be in-office at our CTP location on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

The salary range for this position is $80,000 - $100,000 annually. Compensation is based on a variety of factors, including relevant experience, skills, internal equity, and market data. In addition to base salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package and a collaborative, supportive culture focused on delivering breakthrough ideas for our clients.
