  • Develop creative concepts and campaigns that strengthen Smartly's brand and connect with target audiences
  • Provide clear creative direction and feedback throughout the creative process, from brief through final execution
  • Partner with Brand, Content, Product Marketing, Communications, and other stakeholders to translate business objectives into compelling creative solutions
  • Elevate the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of Smartly's visual identity across all channels and touchpoints
  • Review and approve creative work, ensuring it meets strategic objectives, brand standards, and quality expectations
  • Help establish and refine creative processes, workflows, and ways of working that enable the team to scale its impact
  • Stay current on design, advertising, and cultural trends, bringing fresh thinking and new approaches to the team's work
What We Are Looking For
  • Experience leading and developing creative teams, including direct people management responsibilities
  • Strong background in graphic design, brand design, visual communication, or a related creative discipline
  • Experience as a conceptual Art Director, with a portfolio that demonstrates strong campaign thinking and creative problem-solving
  • Ability to translate strategy, messaging, and business goals into engaging creative concepts and visual storytelling
  • Strong design craft and a deep understanding of typography, layout, visual systems, and brand identity
  • Experience partnering with cross-functional stakeholders and navigating feedback from multiple audiences
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and collaboration skills
  • Ability to balance creative excellence with practical business outcomes
  • Experience working with consumer-facing brands or B2C marketing is preferred, but not required
  • Experience working in technology, SaaS, or high-growth environments is a plus
What We Offer You

Five weeks paid time off (PTO), 11 company paid holidays, unlimited sick days
