We believe that the way to real, transformative change is through the uncommon combination of disciplines, technologies, and our greatest asset – our people. We are currently looking to add to our alchemic mix of more than 1,800 talented professionals. This is a great opportunity to join a dynamic, fast-growing global company committed to making the world a healthier place for all. The Art Director is not a rookie designer, nor worse yet a poser, but a bonified agency tested AD. Our ideal candidate is the first person to offer up ideas and sketches, as well as the last to lay hands upon the finished art before it goes to review. They thrive in a world filled with self-expression and live to “tweak” a not-so-subtle PMS color, or “kern” a headline a writer just plunked down. Their experience in design creation is vast and they fully embrace what it means to be “the visual expert.” Knowing all the while what clients expect from their AD and delivering nothing short of visual genius across all marketing channels.
