Job description

The Experience

Salesforce's Global Brand & Creative team brings our brand to life across an incredible portfolio of work - from major campaigns to experiences like Dreamforce. As Art Director on the Flex Creative team based in Dublin, Ireland, you'll provide adaptable, high-craft creative support for high-priority initiatives, turning complex business and product ideas into distinctive, compelling work across brand and event experiences.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Develop original creative concepts and visual narratives that turn complex business and product stories into clear, memorable experiences across campaigns, events, film, digital, social, and other brand touchpoints.
• Partner with copywriters, strategists, and producers to take ideas from early concept through final execution, establishing visual direction through mood boards, storyboards, and design systems.
• Guide designers, animators, and outside partners to ensure final work meets the approved creative vision and a high craft standard, presenting concepts confidently to stakeholders at all levels.
• Use generative AI and emerging creative tools to accelerate concepting and production, applying strong creative judgment to keep every output original, on-brand, and appropriate.

You're Our Person If…

• You bring 8+ years of art direction, design, or related creative experience in an agency, in-house creative team, or similarly fast-paced brand environment, backed by a strong portfolio spanning multiple channels and formats.
• You have hands-on proficiency with tools like Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma, and a strong grasp of typography, composition, color, and design systems.
• You've partnered with copywriters, strategists, marketers, and production vendors from concept through delivery, and can give clear creative direction without formal people-management responsibility.
• Degree or equivalent relevant experience required. Experience will be evaluated based on the core competencies for the role (e.g. extracurricular leadership roles, military experience, volunteer roles, work experience, etc.)

Even Better If…

• You've used generative AI tools to support concepting, visual development, or production, paired with sound judgment about their responsible use.
• You have experience with B2B, enterprise technology, or other complex global brands.
• You're comfortable managing multiple assignments and evolving briefs in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
