Head of Design / Art DirectorLocation: RemoteReports to: SVP, Business Operations & Creative

We are a creative marketing agency specializing in performance-driven storytelling for fashion, beauty, wellness, and lifestyle brands. We work with industry-leading and emerging clients to create beautiful, high-performing creative that drives growth across every channel—from web to email to paid social.

We’re seeking an experienced Head of Design / Art Director to lead our in-house design team and elevate the creative output across all brand touchpoints. This is a highly collaborative leadership role for a design thinker and digital native who knows how to make work that converts and captivates.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead and inspire the in-house design team, setting a high bar for visual excellence and creative thinking across all deliverables
• Own the visual direction and execution of digital marketing campaigns, email design, landing pages, paid social ads, and more
• Art direct and develop treatments for seasonal campaigns, site refreshes, and product launches in collaboration with copywriters, strategists, and brand leads
• Mentor and manage a growing team of graphic designers, providing thoughtful feedback and guidance to support their growth and performance
• Partner cross-functionally with Creative Strategy and Marketing to ensure that all creative assets align with brand goals and drive performance
• Stay ahead of trends in fashion, beauty, and digital design, bringing fresh, relevant ideas to the table for our roster of luxury and lifestyle clients

• A highly skilled digital designer with 5–7+ years of experience in fashion, beauty, or wellness—agency or in-house, with at least a few years working directly for a brand
• A portfolio that showcases strong, conversion-minded design for email, web, and paid social
• A creative thinker with the ability to concept and art direct treatments for campaign moments, launches, and seasonal initiatives
• A natural leader with proven experience mentoring and managing designers, and building a collaborative, high-performing design culture
• Motivated by performance and curious about the “why.” You value data as a creative tool and seek out insights to understand what’s working—and what’s not—to drive continuous improvement.
• Detail-obsessed, fast-moving, and adaptable—you thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where no two days look the same
• Deeply familiar with the tools of the trade (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, etc) and up to date on what’s trending in digital and social creative
