Mosaic Sr. Art Directors are emerging creative leaders ready to craft our next big moment or campaign.
At Mosaic, we’re on a mission to create human-centric experiences that drive consumer behavior. From events and activations, to stunts and sampling, to campaigns and content, we’re all about building brand moments that matter - intersecting culture and fostering community all along the way.
To put it simply, we actualize action. And every action starts with an idea.
That is where you come in. Our next Sr. Art Director. A complete craftsperson who can make any moment, any space, any layout, or any frame a thing of beauty. A big thinker who has a hunger for the next big idea that goes far beyond visuals alone. A curious soul who seeks inspiration and leads with imagination – approaching challenges with brave ambition.
In this role, we are seeking an established Sr. Art Director who is looking to make the next big step in their career. Who understands the world of art direction and design, but is ready to take it to the next level. Who wants to transcend traditional marketing, and move toward moments - ready to master the mediums of space and time.
The Details:
Location:
Our US Creative team is primarily Chicago-based, but we encourage candidates within NYC, Dallas, Austin, Los Angeles, and Seattle markets to apply. Think you’re the right fit but reside elsewhere? Let’s talk – we will consider remote rockstars, too.
Start Date : ASAP
Travel:
Presentations, working sessions, team gatherings, and presence at on-site activations are expected, up to 10%.
Commitment:
The successful candidate will work and track 40 hrs/week. However, our dynamic creative environment is not your traditional 9-5. We regularly operate across time zones, deadlines, event and production schedules, etc., made possible thanks to the shared trust, commitment, and accountability of team members. We do require flexibility from our employees to accommodate project needs. But we’re committed to giving it in return, too, as we deeply respect the need to maintain balance, well-being, and individual and family obligations… and personal passions and pursuits, too ( interests keep us interested – and interesting, after all).
