About The Position

Apartments.com is seeking a senior, conceptually driven Senior Art Director/Copywriter who is equally fluent in copy and design to join our creative marketing team in Atlanta. This is a multidisciplinary role who thinks in headlines and layouts at the same time — a creative who can write the line and design the page, then move fluidly between the two across a project. As a member of the marketing team, you'll collaborate with product marketing managers, executives, sales leaders, social media teams, and other subject matter experts to concept and produce campaigns and collateral that grow our brand. You'll own work end to end: the idea, the words, and the visual execution, all in service of one unified brand voice. You will be responsible for big-picture concepts, marketing copy, high-quality designs, graphics, mock-ups, and layouts for print, video, digital, and interactive — working across internal and external efforts alongside fellow creatives, marketing managers, and senior executives. This position is 5 days onsite in our Atlanta office.

Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to clearly articulate creative rationale, influence stakeholders, and align teams around a shared vision that is rooted in performance results.
