Job description

Our creative team is looking for an Art Director who can balance fast turnarounds with genuinely original ideas. The reward structure favors doers: $186,000 - $266,000 upfront, real creative ownership, and an American Express team pulling the same direction.

Key Responsibilities

• Localize creative for the Long Beach, CA market while preserving brand consistency
• Shape the unboxing moment Long Beach buyers screenshot and share unprompted
• Write microcopy that does the heavy lifting buttons usually get blamed for
• Manage multiple creative projects simultaneously without missing deadlines
• Bridge the Conflict Resolution vision and the 3D Modeling reality without breaking either
• Keep the ruthlessly-focused brand promise intact while every channel demands its own dialect
• Localize creative for Long Beach audiences without flattening the original idea
• Fold accessibility into the first sketch, not the final QA pass

What You'll Bring

• Clarity of thought that shows up in tidy documentation
• A hardworking attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
• Experience at the director level inside a hybrid role
• Cross-functional ease, from Prioritization engineers to 3D Modeling marketers
• Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
• The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time

The hands-dirty people at American Express have spent years proving that world-class Prioritization can absolutely come out of Long Beach. Our CA crew runs on candor, caffeine, and a stubborn refusal to ship sloppy work.

You'll be supported by $186,000 - $266,000, strong health coverage, conference budgets, and a team that promotes from within.
