As a Creative Art Director, your responsibilities will include but not limited to managing a small team of designers, while still providing design support and expertise. This position requires high level strategic thinking, organizational skills and creativity in solving complex problems. We are looking for people with a passion for creating great products and long lasting consumer brand. Our client is growing daily, so if you are an intelligent, ambitious, self-directed individual (who also happens to be a tech geek), we'd like to meet you. Unlike many larger companies, we'll provide you with ownership to a significant part of the business where your decision will have a direct impact to millions of users. You will also have exposure to the entire product development process from ideation to user testing and product marketing.
You have experience in one or many of the following areas in a consumer facing internet company
- Social/community related product experience (e.g. Quora, Yahoo Answers)
- Large scale consumer facing product roles (e.g. Facebook, Google)
- eCommerce or marketplace related roles (e.g. Amazon, eBay)
- Consumer product specific (e.g. camera, cars) internet
You need a strong design sense and expertise to ensure the highest quality design work delivered consistently. You should also provide mentorship to a small team of talented designers and front-end engineers. You can provide constructive design feedback and design guidance, not shy about rolling up your sleeve to show them your PhotoShop chops.
You should have a bias towards action and numbers. When in doubt, you look for numbers to inform your decision-making. You are comfortable in making decisions in an ambiguous environment and support it with reasonable assumptions, preferably with numbers. You rather go act than staying put, yes we do prefer you to go out and make a decision than doing nothing and playing it safe.
You need to have a strong intellectual curiosity. You should be very keen to developments in your field and continue to learn more about it. We found that the greatest candidate not only is very aware of the job they do day in and day out, they also have a perspective about various other sectors and functions.
You should have at least 5+ years of solid visual and/or interaction design experience for online internet consumer facing companies. You will be directly reporting to the VP of Product. This role also works with VP of Sales & Marketing closely as we try to identify a core brand identity for our company.
Online portfolio is required.
Local candidates only.
