About the role
As the Art Director at Félix, you will be the guardian and chief architect of our visual identity. Reporting directly to the Brand Lead, you will define, supervise, and elevate all marketing visual output across the company. This is a pivotal leadership role within the creative org, where you will manage one direct report (Brand Graphic Designer) and provide dotted-line creative direction to our Performance Graphic Designer and Web Designer.
You will sit at the crossroads of our brand ecosystem, working in lockstep with the Creative Director to translate high-level strategy into breathtaking visual systems, and partnering closely with the Communications Manager and their team (Content & Community) to ensure everyday storytelling remains premium and cohesive. Additionally, you will build a tight-knit bridge with the Head of Product Design to ensure a seamless visual thread from our marketing touchpoints straight into the product experience. This role is a perfect blend of high-level brand governance and creative mentorship, aimed at upskilling our design team and scaling our brand guidelines into the future.
Requirements
- Experience: 7+ years of design experience within a high-growth brand, creative agency, or tech ecosystem, with a proven track record of managing, mentoring, and upskilling junior-to-midweight designers.
- A World-Class Portfolio: A diverse showcase of work proving your mastery over complex brand identity systems, typography, layout, motion/static digital design, and multi-channel campaign rollouts.
- AI Proficiency & Tech Experimentation: Active experimentation with generative AI tools (e.g., Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Firefly, or ChatGPT) to accelerate creative concepting, scale workflow efficiency, and stay on the cutting edge of modern design production.
- The Technical & Aesthetic Edge: Deep expertise in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite, coupled with an eagle eye for detail, composition, motion frameworks, and premium visual storytelling.
- Collaborative Communicator: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to articulate design decisions clearly to cross-functional stakeholders and translate abstract feedback into concrete creative direction.
- Strategic Agility: Someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, comfortably pivoting between high-level brand architecture and supporting rapid-fire communications pipelines.
- Language: Advanced English level
These are the applicable requisites, although equivalent competencies in any of the above will also be considered.
What You'll Do
- Define & Supervise Brand Aesthetics: Oversee the end-to-end creative execution of all visual assets across paid media, web, social, PR, and physical touchpoints, ensuring 100% alignment with Félix’s premium identity.
- Govern and Evolve Brand Guidelines: Own, update, and continuously scale the Félix Brand Book. Define rules for new, emerging use cases and channel layouts while maintaining strict design governance across the company.
- Lead & Upskill the Design Team: Directly manage the Brand Graphic Designer and guide dotted-line designers (Web and Performance). Act as a mentor, bringing technical and aesthetic expertise to elevate their craft, running critiques, and pushing creative boundaries.
- Maintain Cross-Team Synergy: Collaborate daily with the Creative Director to maintain high-level visual consistency, and partner with the Communications Manager's team to rapidly output high-quality assets for social, editorial, and community initiatives.
- Bridge Brand and Product: Partner closely with the Head of Product Design and their team to align our marketing design language with our UI/UX product ecosystem for a unified customer journey.
You Will Be Successful in This Role If You Can
- Balance Vision with Systemization: You don't just design beautiful things; you build scalable systems, templates, and frameworks that allow other designers and content creators to move fast without breaking the brand.
- Influence Without Direct Authority: You can successfully guide and elevate dotted-line designers (Web, Performance) and collaborate cross-functionally with senior leaders (Product, Comm, Creative) to champion visual excellence.
- Deliver Under Performance Pressure: You understand that performance marketing requires agility, and you can help the design team iterate on ad variations quickly based on data without sacrificing aesthetic integrity.
- Foster a Culture of Growth: Your portfolio and leadership style inspire your team, resulting in measurable upskilling, increased asset quality, and higher design throughput.
