Job summary

Comcast Advertising is seeking an experienced Art Director to lead and execute across three brands (FreeWheel, Media Solutions, and Universal Ads) in a fast-paced, high-visibility studio. You will manage Associate Art Directors and designers while contributing hands-on to establish creative standards and craft.

The role requires senior judgment, strong typography and motion capabilities, and proficiency in HTML/CSS, Adobe CC, and Figma.

Qualifications

Portfolio demonstrating original concept development and executed craft across digital, brand, and campaign work at a level that is clearly, visibly Art Director.
5 to 8 years of progressive design experience, with 2 to 3 years directing and managing creative in an agency or in-house studio.
True multidisciplinary range across brand, digital, presentation, and motion-aware design.
Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma, with the ability to build clean, production-ready files at speed.
Working knowledge of HTML/CSS, able to debug, QA, and step in when needed. Someone who removes friction, not a full-time coder.
Experience concepting and executing across brand, digital, and B2B campaign contexts.
Working knowledge of motion principles, able to direct video and motion partners using detailed frames and references.
Strong presentation skills. You can articulate the thinking behind the work, not just the work itself.

Responsibilities

Concept and execute visual directions for integrated campaigns across FreeWheel, Media Solutions, and Universal Ads from initial exploration to final delivery.
Formally manage and develop Associate Art Directors and designers by setting clear creative direction, upholding standards, and elevating team output through leadership and hands-on execution.
Operate as a true multidisciplinary designer: brand, digital, presentation, motion-aware, moving fluidly between formats at speed without losing quality.
Art direct and produce across formats: digital and paid media, sales and event presentations, sizzle reels and video frames, brand toolkits, and large-format event creative.
Lead design innovation by introducing new tools, formats, and approaches and integrating them into real production workflows.
Bring working proficiency in HTML/CSS, able to build, debug, and QA digital executions directly, removing friction between design and production when it matters.
Build rapid prototyping workflows that close the gap between concept and proof of concept.
Partner with copywriters, video editors, and motion partners as an equal creative voice.
Develop and maintain scalable brand and design systems across a multi-brand environment.
Identify where the team's visual standards need to evolve and take ownership of moving them.
