Senior Art Director Jobs

Magic Spoon reimagines your favorite childhood breakfast cereals with high-protein, low-carb, and of course, delicious flavors. Since launching in April 2019, we've quickly become one of the fastest growing DTC brands. Now, we’re launching in cereal aisles at Target, Walmart, Kroger, and many more retail stores all across the country! Forbes called us "the future of cereal", and TIME Magazine has named us in their Top 100 inventions.

We’re looking for an Art Director with 4-5 years experience to join our growing team. As Senior Art Director, this person will be concepting strategic ideas with a hands-on design approach for our various in-house creative needs.

This is a full time, in-person/hybrid role (3 days in office p/w on average) based in Tribeca, NYC.

As Senior Art Director, you'll:

• Collaborate cross-functionally with partners from Growth, Social, Sales, and Operations to quickly react, pivot, and deliver to changing business needs.
• Help grow our brand’s visual identity to tell the great tale of Magic Spoon! Expected projects include: new flavor + new product launch campaigns (360 and one-offs), paid ads (including TV), packaging concepts, web tests, organic social, other brand design needs (eg. emails).
• Understand that creativity requires strong teamwork and the ability to take and give feedback.
• Work closely with in-house Creative Director + team (copywriter, designers, project manager, and any freelancers) to tackle every brief from a conceptual lens and design creative that's exciting, on-brand, and culturally relevant.
• While this role is concept-first, we are equally looking for someone who is excited to jump in on any project and execute with a strong design approach.
• Own AD projects from start to finish with an opportunity to mentor any junior designers.
• Work with external photographers, directors, illustrators, stylists, etc as needed on a project-by-project basis and direct shoots/creative.

Requirements

• 4-5 years experience as an Art Director at a creative agency or brand. Prior in-house / brand side experience is not necessary, but is definitely a bonus!
• TV and photoshoot experience required.
• Curiosity and excitement to tackle problems and find solutions together in a fast-paced startup environment, where processes and mediums can change frequently.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Premiere Pro) and Figma.
• A strong portfolio showcasing 360 degree campaigns as well as excellent design sensibilities (detail for design, eye for color, type hierarchy).
• Bring your sparkle – kind, collaborative, and low-ego humans, please!
• Someone who’d thrive wearing many creative hats.
• Not looking for someone to simply oversee a designer – looking for someone to dig in and execute on design or styling as needed.
