Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience as an Art Director or Designer, ideally in software, SaaS, or SMB environments.
• A strong portfolio showcasing art direction and design across brand, digital, and social.
• Understanding of how VFX and simulation workflows translate into visual storytelling.
• Ability to both concept and execute at a high level, moving fluidly from idea to final output.

• Lead art direction and design across campaigns, product marketing, and social content with a high bar for craft and clarity.
• Develop and evolve a distinct visual system for Flow Studio that feels modern, scalable, and differentiated.
• Create social-first content across formats and platforms, tailoring the work to how audiences engage.
• Translate product capabilities, including VFX and simulation workflows, into clear and visually compelling creative outputs that build understanding and trust.
• Create assets across a range of outputs, including motion, static, and digital experiences.
• Partner closely with creative, marketing, and product teams to bring ideas to life, ensuring the work is grounded in real use cases and communicates meaningful value.
• Collaborate with Technical Artists and VFX specialists to ensure outputs are both visually strong and technically credible.
• Art direct content built from real product output, not abstract or purely conceptual visuals.
• Build scalable design systems and templates that increase speed, consistency, and impact.
• Experiment with AI-native tools and workflows to enhance creative output and team efficiency.
• Maintain a high bar for craft while operating with urgency in a fast-moving environment.
• Continuously push the work to feel modern, relevant, and differentiated within the VFX and creative tools space.
• A rich and consistent body of work defines how Flow Studio shows up visually and stands out within the VFX and AI tools landscape.
• The design feels modern, distinctive, and immediately recognizable, with a strong point of view.
• The work is both visually compelling and credible to a technically informed audience, and it performs on social because it is built for the platform, not adapted to it.
• Product storytelling is clear, confident, and grounded in real customer value rather than abstraction.
• Systems and templates enable speed and consistency without compromising quality.
• The work consistently raises the bar, reflects strong creative judgment, and builds trust across teams.
