Job description

Good design solves problems quietly; great design makes them disappear entirely, and ScaleAdvantage Corp needs an Art Director fluent in both. Picture this: a full-time Art Director seat in Paterson, paying $146,000 - $224,000, where 11 years of doing the work earns you real say over how it gets done.

Key Responsibilities

• Pressure-test headlines against real audience reactions before anything goes live
• Drive small-but-mighty content series from ideation to publication and promotion
• Support director designers through critique, mentorship, and shared best practices
• Translate dense product specs into visuals a tired commuter grasps instantly
• Map where User Journey Mapping and Accessibility (WCAG) overlap, then live in that messy middle
• Bring concepts to life through motion, illustration, or interactive media
• Develop creative campaigns that translate ScaleAdvantage Corp's strategy into compelling storytelling

What You'll Bring

• Critical thinking skills and sound, independent judgment
• Fluency across Design Tokens and Accessibility (WCAG), with strong opinions on both
• Fluency in Wireframing earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
• A knack for HTML/CSS that colleagues quietly come to rely on
• The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
• Familiarity with the rhythms of a low-drama full-time team
• Cross-functional ease, from HTML/CSS engineers to Wireframing marketers

ScaleAdvantage Corp grew out of a Paterson, NJ research lab and never lost its make-it-better, question-everything approach to Communication. We hire calmly-fast-moving people, get out of their way, and let the Accessibility (WCAG) results speak.

Here you earn $146,000 - $224,000 while a dedicated mentor helps you grow from director into ownership, all wrapped in benefits worth keeping.
