About The Position

Movement Strategy is looking for a Senior Art Director to bring social-first, visually compelling creative to life for a high-profile lifestyle and retail account. Reporting to a Creative Director, you’ll help shape and lead the visual direction of the work, developing elevated, platform-native creative that brings home, design, and product storytelling to life across social channels. This role sits at the intersection of retail, lifestyle, and culture, with opportunities to create across seasonal moments, tentpole campaigns, and ongoing content streams.
