  • Partner with producers, editors, and creative leads to ensure storyboards and creative intent carry cleanly through production and post
  • Interface with clients on creative decisions, including video formats, messaging clarity, delivery formats, and scope
  • Provide clear feedback and honest assessments
  • communicate effectively with internal teams and clients
  • Stay organized across multiple priorities
  • strong time management / project management
  • Detail-oriented, collaborative team player
  • Work effectively in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment

Requirements:

  • Graphic Arts / Fine Arts degree or relevant experience
  • 5–10+ years of relevant design and Art Director experience
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating typography, design craft, conceptual problem-solving, and finished deliverables
  • Extensive storyboarding experience is required (storyboards for video/live-action
  • animatics a plus)
  • Demonstrated ability to work on compelling video content for corporate B2B clients
  • Experience with corporate / talking-head (interview/testimonial) content, with a creative sensibility (preferred)
  • Experience with still art direction (photo/video shoots) and/or creating shot lists/visual references (as applicable)
  • Ability to come up with original solutions
  • creative flair/strong eye
  • Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite
  • Familiarity with social and digital media
  • fresh, bold approach, and AI
  • Strong communication, organization, time management, and project management skills
  • Curious, self-starter, strategic thinker
  • positive/open-minded
  • solutions-oriented
  • adaptable
  • Comfort partnering with motion teams and maintaining motion design consistency/quality across workstreams
  • Ability to collaborate with and present to clients
  • align stakeholders on creative direction, messaging clarity, deliverables, and scope
What we offer:
  • Work in a collaborative, borderless environment where craft excellence is valued
  • Innovation is encouraged
  • AI and next-generation tools are used to amplify not replace human creativity
  • Access to diverse projects
  • Global career opportunities
  • Backing of WPP’s unmatched network
