About BREAVA

Based in the heart of Singapore’s creative scene, BREAVA is a holistic advertising agency built on the transformative power of storytelling. Over the last three years, we've grown into a tight-knit team of eight passionate storytellers dedicated to delivering innovative content that drives real business results. We push visual boundaries, reject safe options, and build an environment where raw talent grows into creative leadership.

The Role

Are you an experienced designer ready to take the leap into Art Direction? BREA V A is looking for a Senior Designer / Junior Art Director who blends sharp visual craft with nascent leadership skills. Working hand-in-hand with our Creative Director, you will bridge conceptual strategy and visual execution across a diverse roster of clients. You will juggle multiple project streams concurrently, lead creative discussions, and step up to direct photoshoots and video assets. We want a strong visual strategist who leads with humility, communicates effectively in group settings, and brings a strong drive to continuously learn and level up.

Key Responsibilities

• Hands-On Design & Versatility (Primary): Continue to churn out high-quality, impactful designs across a multitude of formats including social media, OOH, POSMs, print, and digital graphics. You are well-versed in adapting to different art styles and illustration styles to suit diverse brand voices.
• Art Direction & Production: Direct photoshoots and videography - from moodboarding to on-set art direction. While you don't need to be a DOP, video editor, or animator, you must speak the language. You will use your experience in photography, videography, and motion graphics to effectively guide creative partners and ensure the final output hits the mark.
• Mentorship & CD Partnership: Work closely with the Creative Director to translate broad brand strategies into sharp campaign assets, all while actively grooming and sharing your design expertise with junior teammates to elevate the agency’s overall output.
• Full-Range Industry Adaptation: Multi-task and seamlessly manage multiple project streams simultaneously across a rich visual landscape. You can effortlessly switch design gears between Beauty & Skincare FMCG, Lifestyle & F&B, Restaurants & Bars, Alcohol & Spirits, Finance & Technology, and dynamic Events.
• Group Communication: Present concepts clearly and passionately during internal brainstorms and client pitches, maintaining a humble attitude and a readiness to incorporate feedback and grow.

What We're Looking For

• Experience: 3-5+ years in visual design within an agency environment, featuring a portfolio that demonstrates breadth across consumer goods, lifestyle, and corporate sectors.
• Production Aptitude: Prior experience on set for photo/video shoots, or a foundational understanding of lighting, staging, and composition paired with an eagerness to master shoot direction.
• Technical Mastery: Advanced command of Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). Familiarity with Figma, After Effects, or Premiere Pro is a strong plus.
• Mindset: Humble, self-aware, and growth-oriented. You stay calm under pressure, embrace feedback, and know how to rally a team around a shared visual vision.

What We Can Offer

• Fast-Track Leadership: Direct, 1-on-1 mentorship from our Creative Director to fast-track your path from Senior Designer to full Art Director.
• Ownership & Impact: High-visibility creative control across major campaigns without corporate bureaucracy-your work directly shapes agency success.
• Continuous Growth & Dream Clients: Full support and agency resources to expand your skill set into motion graphics, 3D, or advanced set direction. Have specific brands or industries you're burning to work with? We'll back your vision and actively pitch them together to expand your personal portfolio.
• Tight-Knit Culture: A supportive, tight-knit team that values collaboration, humility, and zero ego.
• Perks & Work-Life: Competitive compensation, performance-based rewards, team outings, flexible working arrangements.
