About the Role

We’re searching for a bold, visionary Associate Art Director of Social and Brand Transformation to join our fast-growing digital and social-first brand. This is a pivotal role — you’ll partner closely with our AVP of Direct to drive a major brand transformation.

You’ll concept, craft, and bring to life both digital work and social content that connects powerful storytelling with cultural relevance . From ideation through production, you’ll own the process — shaping campaigns, leading shoots, and ensuring that every piece of content tells a cohesive, elevated brand story across every channel.

This isn’t a maintenance role — it’s a make-it-happen, make-it-better opportunity. The ideal candidate combines strong creative instincts, impeccable taste, and a passion for producing world-class social and brand work that stands out in the feed and in the culture.

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with the AVP of Direct and Digital Art Director to help lead a major brand overhaul — building a new visual language and tone of storytelling, particularly in the social space.
  • Concept and produce breakthrough campaigns that connect to the new brand platform.
  • Translate brand messaging into compelling creative that connects across all social channels — from short-form video to brand photography to influencer content.
  • Lead the 360 creative process — from idea through shoot direction, design, and final execution.
  • Direct and inspire designers, editors, photographers, and copywriters to deliver polished, high-impact work.
  • Stay ahead of both retail and social trends , ensuring the work is always culturally tuned, fresh, and relevant.
  • Bring a high level of craft and taste to every visual output — with an editorial sensibility and a strong understanding of fashion, lifestyle, and visual storytelling.
  • Work fluidly across video, photo, and motion , with a hands-on approach to editing, layout, and art direction.

Who You Are

  • 5+ years of experience in content creation and art direction — ideally within fashion, lifestyle, or social-first brands/agencies.
  • A creative thinker and doer — comfortable pitching, producing, and polishing standout work.
  • Deep understanding of social platforms and how to translate brand stories to resonate natively on each.
  • Strong collaborator who elevates others — especially cross-functionally with copy, strategy, and production.
  • Highly visual with a sharp aesthetic sensibility and obsession for detail.
  • Fluent in Adobe Creative Suite , motion tools, and editing software (Figma, Premiere, After Effects a plus).
  • Passionate about building brands that lead — not follow — in culture.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • You’ll be part of a creative dream team driving a high-profile brand transformation.
  • You’ll work in an environment that values ideas, innovation, and taste .

You’ll have the opportunity to produce career-defining work that shapes how people see and engage with brands.
