You will be responsible for bringing a fresh and energetic point of view to our visual narratives, ensuring they resonate deeply with our brand vision.

As an Art Director at Hinge, you will be expected to lead collaboratively throughout the creative process from concept to execution, managing communication and alignment with both internal teams and external partners. Your role will involve not just creative development but also strategic thinking, ensuring that all projects answer both the project brief and long-term business objectives.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Conception: Respond to project briefs by developing inspiring and strategic visual concepts that align with business objectives.

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years of experience in a visual design or art direction role, with a proven track record of building world-class brands or working in leading agencies.

• An effective communicator, especially when interfacing with leadership—with a professional executive presence and an inspiring, inclusive leadership style.
• Strong conceptual abilities and passion for visual language, typography, graphic design, content layouts, photography, and videography.
• Creative, curious, and hungry, with a readiness to roll up your sleeves and work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. Motivated to identify opportunities to enhance the impact of your work.
• Deeply aware of consumer trends and global dynamics, ensuring that your storytelling is relevant and impactful across earned, owned, social, and paid media.
