Job description

This is a contract Art Director position for a maker who cares as much about the idea as the execution. Reduce it to essentials and you have $107,000 - $161,000, a NY Art Director seat, 10 years asked, and a clear climb ahead.

Key Responsibilities

• Set the typographic rhythm that ties a sprawling Design Thinking library together
• Curate the reference wall that keeps a 10-person studio pointed the same way
• Own the look of seasonal launches from moodboard through final handoff
• Cut a sixty-second story to fifteen without amputating the point
• Prototype interface ideas fast enough to kill the weak ones cheaply
• Shape the unboxing moment Buffalo buyers screenshot and share unprompted
• Read the room mid-presentation and reorder the deck on the fly
• Lead brainstorming sessions that surface bold, original ideas

What You'll Bring

• The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
• A Buffalo grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly
• Cross-functional ease, from Logo Design engineers to Visual Design marketers
• The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten
