Art Director

Tenth Avenue Holdings•New York, NY

About The Position

Love shaping the look and feel of brands that stand out? This role gives you the opportunity to lead creative across a multi-brand portfolio, bringing campaigns to life through elevated design and compelling visual storytelling. Tenth Avenue Holdings Decamarx is a portfolio of brands within Tenth Avenue Holdings, spanning apparel, home goods, pet products, jewelry, and skincare. We’re looking for an Art Director to join the Decamarx in-house creative team and serve as a key partner to the Creative Director. In this role, you’ll translate brand vision into standout creative across multiple brands and marketing channels while maintaining exceptional quality and speed. You will lead day-to-day art direction and production, ensuring that every customer touchpoint—from paid media to website to retail collateral—feels intentional, consistent, and on-brand. Success in this role means the Creative Director’s vision is clearly visible across brands and channels—consistent, elevated, and unmistakably on-brand. The creative team moves faster with fewer rounds of revision because direction and feedback are crisp, decisive, and actionable. Campaigns feel cohesive across the entire funnel, and creative performance improves through thoughtful iteration rather than constant redesign. Freelancers and internal teams enjoy working with you because you bring clarity, organization, and a high standard that elevates the quality of everyone’s work.
