Job description

Jora Malaysia will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

Dynamite Lab is a strategy-led social media agency. We use a holistic O2O2O approach to turn social into business impact, not just content. If you think conceptually, have a sharp visual eye, and know what makes creative work stand out in-feed, you’ll fit right in.

About the Role

At Dynamite Lab, we don’t just make things look good. We create ideas with purpose, and we’re looking for an Art Director who can take those ideas from concept to execution.

You’ll shape the creative direction across multiple brands, campaigns, pitches and productions, while staying hands-on with the actual design work. As part of a lean team, you’ll wear multiple hats: developing ideas, designing, presenting, art directing shoots and guiding designers and interns.

This is a hands-on leadership role for an existing Art Director, or a strong Senior Designer or Junior Art Director ready to step up and take greater creative ownership.

What You’ll Do

Develop creative concepts and visual directions across social content, campaigns, activations and pitches.

Design key visuals, social content, presentation decks, storyboards and other creative materials when needed.

Turn strategies and briefs into ideas that are visually strong, social-first and practical to execute.

Take creative projects from ideation and design through production and final delivery.

Oversee creative projects from ideation and design through production and final delivery.

Review creative work and provide clear direction and feedback to designers and interns.

Present and explain creative concepts confidently to internal teams and clients.

Art direct photo and video shoots, from pre-production planning to on-set execution.

Work closely with social, strategy, clients and production partners to bring ideas to life.

Help strengthen the team’s creative standards, workflows and ways of working as we grow.

Explore how AIGC and emerging creative tools can improve ideation, experimentation and execution while maintaining strong creative judgment and craft.

Who We’re Looking For

4-6 years of relevant experience in design, advertising, digital or social media. Agency experience is preferred.

A strong portfolio demonstrating visual craft, conceptual thinking and social-first work.

Strong foundations in design, branding, typography and visual storytelling.

Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite. Motion, video and AI-assisted creative skills are an advantage.

Able to lead the thinking while remaining hands-on with design and execution.

Comfortable wearing multiple hats and adapting across different projects and creative needs.

Curious and open to exploring AIGC as part of the creative process without relying on it as a substitute for original thinking and design fundamentals.

Experience using AIGC tools for creative ideation, visual development or production is a strong advantage.

Confident in leading projects, presenting ideas and guiding junior creatives.

Strategic yet hands-on, with the ability to balance creative ambition and practical execution.

Strong command of English and able to read and understand written Chinese, as the role involves working on Chinese language content.

Organized, proactive and able to manage multiple projects in a fast-moving environment.

Must be comfortable working on alcohol brand accounts, including handling products and packaging during shoots. Alcohol consumption is not required.

Why You’ll Love It Here

You’ll have the space to shape ideas, make the work and see your ideas through from brief to launch. You’ll also work closely with the leadership team to strengthen our creative standards, grow the team and build towards bigger accounts and more ambitious work together.

We’d especially like to see work that demonstrates both your creative craft and the thinking behind it.
