Job description

Bloomberg LP has built a significant media business spanning television and OTT, digital, magazine, podcast and radio, and live event platforms across the globe, and Bloomberg delivers data and news that markets depend on.

What is the future of storytelling in podcasts, social videos, immersive articles and longform documentaries? How can data clarify and create new perspectives? Where are the new ideas – and people – shaping our global future? What does the future of finance, the future of work, the future of cities, and the future of health look like?

At Bloomberg Media Studios, we confront these questions every day. As the global studio at the heart of Bloomberg Media, we develop creative solutions for brands that leverage Bloomberg’s mission, intelligence, and equity for Bloomberg’s core audiences. We are passionate about developing innovative ideas and committed to working for a company that places purpose at the center of its business, and understands that creativity depends on a healthy, balanced, and supportive work environment.

We are searching for a full-time Senior Art Director for our London-based Europe studio, skilled in conceptual thinking, storytelling, and exceptional motion graphics design with experience producing work in the branded content space.

We'll trust you to:

• Conceive creative ideas that sit at the intersection of client objectives and audience needs using Bloomberg’s proprietary data and insights.
• Use design as a storytelling medium to express narrative ideas across formats - storyboards, video graphics, digital destinations, live experiential activations, and more.
• Advocate for uncompromising, best-in-class ideas and design solutions for clients in partnership with the Europe Studio team and global design leadership.
• Establish visual systems for branded storytelling across formats – video, social, live events.
• Uphold the highest quality of work, translating the latest shifts in design and social platforms for a Bloomberg audience.
• Participate in proactive proposals and brainstorms that push the Studio’s unique value for clients.
• Communicate the vision and rationale of the work to external and internal teams in an articulate and compelling manner.
• Function as both an individual contributor as well as a director when working with our network of production partners and freelance resources.
• Proactively tap into your network and seek out new talent to grow the studio’s freelance network.

You'll need to have:

• 7-10 years of experience in design with a strong emphasis on motion graphics, video storytelling and social work experience preferred.
• Expertise in crafting branded storytelling across multiple touchpoints (video, print, podcasts, experiential) and corresponding social promotional campaigns.
• Expert level proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (including Adobe AfterEffects) — web design software (Sketch, Figma, or Adobe XD) a plus.
• Highly collaborative approach with our team of writers, editors and animators.
• Fluency across deliverables that fit with a cross-channel approach (style frames and/or storyboards for video, motion assets for immersive experiences etc.).
• Impeccable design portfolio demonstrating a mix of digital and motion graphics.
• Ability to provide timely, helpful feedback to improve creative, processes, and to keep work on budget and schedule.
• Strong time management skills that ensure the ability to work across multiple projects simultaneously.
• Experience researching proprietary data to synthesize into meaningful design decisions.
• Experience developing creative for RFPs including mocks, mood boards, and written ideas.

Life at Bloomberg is many things, but it’s never dull. We’re a truly global business with a truly diverse workforce. We pride ourselves on being open, inclusive and collaborative, and provide a work environment that inspires our employees to be their best. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive healthcare coverage, and programs to support you and your family through different life stages, from parental leave to generous retirement savings plans.
