• Push steady-handed design directions far enough to feel new, close enough to feel us
• Seed fresh visual motifs that outlast a single $115,000 - $177,000-budget quarter
• Recast dry compliance copy as something a human might willingly read

What You'll Bring

• An American Express mindset: scrappy today, scalable tomorrow
• Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
• Roughly 12+ years operating in a similar Art Director position
• A track record of fast-paced delivery in a full-time structure
• Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Experience at the director level inside a full-time role
