Senior Art Director

We’re⠀looking⠀for a⠀talented⠀and⠀digitally⠀savvy⠀design⠀leader⠀with a⠀thorough⠀understanding⠀of the⠀sports and⠀entertainment⠀advertising⠀space. You⠀need to⠀thrive in⠀the⠀conceptual⠀space and⠀evangelize⠀the bigger⠀experience.⠀The⠀broader⠀picture is⠀your jam⠀and you⠀know that⠀one-off⠀tactical⠀pieces⠀aren’t⠀typically⠀a good⠀foundation⠀for⠀long-term⠀brand⠀success.⠀Every⠀visual⠀decision⠀that you⠀make is⠀founded in⠀meaning⠀and⠀purpose,⠀while⠀elevating⠀the brand⠀through⠀disruptive⠀creative⠀thinking⠀and visual⠀storytelling.

You⠀have the⠀chops to⠀personally⠀execute⠀dialed-in⠀ad⠀campaigns⠀across⠀every⠀vertical⠀including⠀print, but⠀you love⠀branding,⠀digital,⠀and dabble⠀in UX/UI.⠀You live⠀for⠀crafting⠀the⠀details of⠀each⠀campaign,⠀while⠀finding⠀never⠀before⠀seen⠀visual⠀concepts.⠀You’re⠀stouthearted⠀and not⠀afraid of⠀a blank⠀canvas,⠀frank⠀criticism,⠀or⠀ambitious⠀thinking.⠀You’re a⠀tinkerer,⠀inventive⠀and⠀purposeful.⠀You are an⠀orchestrator⠀of type,⠀color,⠀composition,⠀and brand.

What you’ll do:

• Create the⠀visual⠀language,⠀branding,⠀and style⠀guides for⠀long-term⠀campaigns
• Principally⠀lead and⠀direct all⠀aesthetic⠀decisions⠀and back⠀them up⠀with solid⠀thinking
• Design⠀independently⠀as well as⠀collaborate⠀with our⠀broader⠀team of⠀designers
• Work⠀with⠀developers,⠀copywriters,⠀CCO, UX⠀designers⠀and⠀production⠀teams
• Join⠀strategic⠀concept⠀meetings⠀for new⠀and⠀existing⠀business⠀opportunities
• Present⠀thoughtful⠀creative⠀strategies⠀and⠀powerful⠀visual⠀concepts⠀to brand⠀teams and⠀clients

What we’d like to see:

• You can⠀present⠀consistently⠀strong⠀conceptual⠀thinking⠀with⠀passionate⠀energy, a⠀positive⠀attitude,⠀and a lack⠀of⠀ego
• You⠀have the⠀natural⠀instinct⠀to start a⠀project⠀off from a⠀strategically⠀powerful⠀position⠀and come⠀up with⠀unexpected⠀paths to⠀the finish⠀line.
• You⠀have a⠀powerful⠀portfolio,⠀5-10 years⠀of visual⠀design⠀experience,⠀and agency⠀experience.
• You⠀are a⠀magician⠀at⠀Photoshop⠀and⠀Illustrator,⠀while⠀having a⠀strong⠀functional⠀understanding⠀of After⠀Effects,⠀HTML,⠀responsive⠀design,⠀and the⠀full Adobe⠀Creative⠀Suite.
• You⠀understand⠀that good⠀design is⠀just half⠀the battle⠀and each⠀campaign⠀must be⠀guided by⠀rock-solid⠀creative⠀strategy⠀derived⠀from⠀insights,⠀research,⠀and market⠀opportunities.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s⠀degree or⠀equivalent⠀experience⠀in a⠀related⠀field
• Portfolio⠀showcasing⠀branding,⠀digital,⠀print, and⠀other⠀relevant⠀projects
• Soda⠀& Lime is⠀an equal⠀opportunity⠀employer⠀(EOE). We⠀strongly⠀support⠀diversity⠀and⠀individualism.
