Staff Marketing Designer, Creative (Remote, Americas)

About Shopify
Opportunity is not evenly distributed. Shopify puts independence within reach for anyone with a dream to start a business. Since 2006, we’ve grown to over 10,000 employees and generated over $496 billion in sales for millions of merchants in 175 countries.
This is life-defining work that directly impacts people’s lives as much as it transforms your own. This is putting the power of the few in the hands of the many, is a future with more voices rather than fewer, and is creating more choices instead of an elite option.
About The Role
Millions of people around the world took that daring first step to start a business with Shopify. And we’re looking for a staff-level art director to help lead our creative team and launch campaigns that inspire the next wave of entrepreneurs.
About the role:

• Be a champion for the craft of advertising design and creative problem solving.
• Design for all the channels—social, radio, digital, online video, TV, print, OOH.
• Own projects with significant scope, complexity, and responsibility from kickoff to launch (and handle the twist and turns along the way).
• Guide the work of more junior creatives, oversee agency relationships, and help run point on productions.
• Take a leading role in the concepting, pitch, and production of breakthrough campaigns.
• Partner closely with teams across production, media, strategy, product, and research.

Qualifications

• You’ve got plenty of gumption. And perseverance. And drive. That’ll come in handy in this fast and loose environment.
• You’re highly strategic, understand how to best approach each channel from a creative and production standpoint, and find crafty ways to get the most out of every campaign.
• Your portfolio of work shows that you’ve done it all before…and done it really, really well. Open to both agency and brand-side. Leadership experience preferred.
• You’re also a pleasure to work with and enjoy solving creative problems with others.
• The facts and figures matter to you. You’re always learning from past work, hunting for new insights, and know how to frame your bright ideas in a strategically-sound way.
• You have superb “front of house” skills—presenting work, facilitating feedback, building consensus, following up.
• You go far and wide when it’s time to concept. And then sweat the details for rounds and rounds when it’s time to execute. Craft is everything to you.
• You’re comfortable partnering with stakeholders and other department leads at the project planning stages—timelines, budges, media, audience, testing, asset needs.
• Specifically-speaking, you’re extra savvy on all things social and have created breakthrough work for small screens.

Note: You must submit a portfolio of work/work samples to be considered for this role. Please include your portfolio link and any applicable passwords with your application.
