About The Position

Weber Shandwick is looking for an Art Director to join our award-winning creative team. We are a crew of writers, designers, and culture-obsessed makers who are the creative engine for some of the world's most iconic brands. We are searching for someone who lives and breathes culture and creativity. A thinker and a maker who is fluent in the language of the internet, knows what makes an idea catch fire on social, and has the design chops to bring it all to life. Our currency is in ‘earned-first’ creativity. You'll be surrounded by some of the brightest minds in the business, tackling fun, provocative challenges for brands that are household names.

Requirements

A killer portfolio that shows us how you think, not just what you can execute. We want to see your approach to solving problems.
2+ years of art direction or design experience.
You’re a wizard in the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator) and can build a deck in Keynote or PowerPoint.
You’re always hungry for what’s new and what’s next in design, tech, and social media.

Nice To Haves

Big bonus points for After Effects or other motion graphics skills.

Responsibilities

Dream up and execute stunning, earned-first concepts that feel native to platforms like TikTok, Instagram, X, and whatever’s next.
Bring the energy. We want your passion for solving creative puzzles and your can-do spirit from the first brief to the final export.
Use your artistic skills across a huge range of projects: branding, storyboards, campaign mockups, presentations, and eye-popping social content.
Jam with a whole crew of smart, collaborative people across different teams.
Share your work and your thinking with the team.
Master the brand guidelines, but know when and how to creatively push the boundaries.
