About The Position

WHOOP is looking for an Associate Creative Director, Art with a deep understanding of how to visually communicate a brandâs essence and vision. As an integral member of the Marketing team and a senior leader of the Creative team, the ACD, Art not only upholds our brand standards but evolves them. Youâre both a visionary and a doer: able to set the standard, coach the team to success, and roll up your sleeves where needed. You love mentoring designers as much as you love cracking the big idea, and you believe creativity is only as good as the results it drives. We will consider candidates based out of our Boston HQ or remotely from New York, NY. The successful candidate must be prepared to work out of one of those two locations.
