Mosaic Art Directors thrive at the intersection of big ideas and beautiful execution.

At Mosaic, we're on a mission to create human-centric experiences that drive consumer behavior. From events and activations, to stunts and sampling, to campaigns and content, we're all about building brand moments that matter - intersecting culture and fostering community all along the way.

To put it simply, we actualize action. And every action starts with an idea.

That is where you come in. Our next Art Director. A visual guru with a toolkit full of design and art direction fundamentals. A layout lover who can turn any page, any canvas, any screen, any environment into a beautiful composition of the brand. A big thinker who has a passion to blow open the brief and curate the next "never been done before" moment.

In this role, we are seeking fresh talent who want to find a home to grow their career. Who understand the world of art direction and design, but crave even more. Who are filled with potential and want to help mold the future of US Creative at Mosaic.

The Details:

Location:

Our US Creative team is primarily Chicago-based, but we encourage candidates within NYC, Dallas, Austin, Los Angeles, and Seattle markets to apply. Think you're the right fit but reside elsewhere? Let's talk - we will consider remote rockstars, too.

Start Date: ASAP

Travel:

Presentations, working sessions, team gatherings, and presence at on-site activations are expected, up to 10%.

Commitment:

The successful candidate will work and track 40 hrs/week. However, our dynamic creative environment is not your traditional 9-5. We regularly operate across time zones, deadlines, event and production schedules, etc., made possible thanks to the shared trust, commitment, and accountability of team members. We do require flexibility from our employees to accommodate project needs. But we're committed to giving it in return, too, as we deeply respect the need to maintain balance, well-being, and individual and family obligations… and personal passions and pursuits, too ( interests keep us interested - and interesting, after all).

Application Requirements:

• A detailed resume highlighting education and experience
• A link to a portfolio of recent work (if password protected, please provide)
• Two references (colleagues, vendors, clients welcomed)

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Idea generation - participating and leading teams in brainstorming and capturing big ideas that address the needs of the brief
• Art Direction - visual approach, moodboards, layout, photography, mockups, renders
• Partner with designers, copywriters, and producers to actualize a vision
• Desire to understand the nuances of event production; both from an art direction perspective and in general
• Passion for strategy, insights, and innovation
• Equally as comfortable working independently and with a team

• Comfortable writing in a variety of mediums, including campaigns, digital/social, content, events, and more.
• Ability to develop the big idea/conceptual thinking, and then support in functional art direction and visual storytelling.
• Proficient in Adobe creative suite - can seamlessly develop concept visuals independently that are on brand, polished, and presentation ready
• Possess a visual point of view and ability to communicate that vision, and share it with creative collaborators, designers, and partners
• Desire and passion for collaboration among creatives, agency partners, and vendors
• Possess a passion for innovation, trends, and knowledge sharing
• Can support in the crafting of presentations and pitch decks
• Has an appetite to learn new skills
• Can interpret and action feedback
