Job description

At Warner Music Group, we're a global collective of music makers and music lovers, tech innovators and inspired entrepreneurs, game-changing creatives and passionate team members. Here, we turn dreams into stardom and audiences into fans. We are guided by three core values that underpin everything we do across all our diverse businesses:
  • Curiosity: We do our best work when we're immersing ourselves in culture and breaking through barriers. Curiosity is the driving force behind creativity and ingenuity. It fuels innovation, and innovation is the key to our future.
  • Collaboration: Making music and bringing it to the world is all about the power of originality amplified by teamwork. A great idea, like a great song, travels globally. We ignite passions and build connections across our diverse community of artists, songwriters, partners, and fans.
  • Commitment: We pursue excellence for our team and our talent. Everything in music starts with a leap into the unknown, and we're committed to keeping the faith, acting with integrity, and delivering on our promises.

WMG is home to a wide range of artists, musicians, and songwriters that fuel our success. That is why we are committed to creating a work environment that actively values, appreciates, and respects everyone. We encourage applications from people with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences.
Consider a career at WMG and get the best of both worlds - an innovative global music company that retains the creative spirit of a nimble independent.
A little bit about our team:
WMX, Warner Music Group's culture-driving merchandise, creative content, and artist services division, is a global full-service team that offers creative direction, production services, and support for WMG licensed artists and labels. As the Retail Art Director, you will step into a brand-new, highly strategic role designed to grow and develop our retail business strategy as a whole. You will act as the vital creative bridge on our team, working directly with our Creative Directors to align on artistic vision, while collaborating hand-in-hand with our Retail Sales team to build bespoke presentations for global retail partners. Your work will directly impact how our entire artist roster breaks into major retail spaces, transforming creative concepts into massive commercial realities.
Your role:
As Art Director at WMX, you'll bring our artists' visual worlds to life across music, fashion, and culture. You'll focus directly on developing visual concepts, leading art direction for merch collections, and collaborating closely with both in-house talent and freelance creators. This role is fast-paced, hands-on, and deeply plugged into culture. You'll be turning artist identities into compelling, fan-obsessed merchandise and visual assets across our roster.
Here you'll get to:
  • Develop Visual & Art Direction: Create the visual language and offer creative mentorship for merch collections and campaigns. Confirm every concept reflects the artist's identity and resonates with their fanbase.
  • Lead the visual invention and curation of merchandise lines for artists represented by our company. Progress collections from initial aesthetic moodboards to fully realized visual concepts.
  • Guide In-House & Freelance Designers: Source, brief, and direct internal designers, outside studios, and specialized freelancers (illustrators, typographers, graphic designers). Provide clear feedback to elevate output and ensure visual consistency across all assets.
  • Partner with Artists & Management: Work directly with artists, managers, and internal brand teams to understand aesthetic goals and translate them into cohesive visual designs.
  • Ensure Visual Quality & Brand Consistency: Review and refine all art deliverables to ensure high aesthetic standards, on-brief execution, and visual harmony across product lineups.
  • Collaborate with Production & Operations: Partner with production teams to manage asset handover, review tech packs, and refine designs to align with physical production capabilities without compromising creative vision.
  • Stay Ahead of Visual & Fashion Trends: Maintain a deep awareness of emerging fashion, music, design, and subculture trends, continually infusing fresh visual ideas into our artist collections.

About you:
  • You have 4-6+ years of experience in art direction, graphic design, or brand design, preferably within retail, fashion, or corporate pitch-deck creation.
  • You have a proven track record of trend forecasting and a deep understanding of commercial retail landscapes and consumer behavior.
  • You have expert-level layout and presentation skills, with a portfolio that proves you can turn complex strategies into clean, beautiful, and compelling visual stories.
  • You enjoy acting as a bridge between highly conceptual creative ideas and business-driven commercial targets.
  • You are passionate about emerging fashion, design, and music culture, and you instinctively know how to translate those movements into retail-ready product ideas.

We'd love it if you also had:
  • You have expert knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and key presentation platforms like Keynote or PowerPoint.
  • You have a deep passion for fashion and product design
  • You have experience designing mockups for apparel, retail packaging, or point-of-sale displays.
  • You have a passion for emerging creative tools, trends, and technologies (AI, AR, motion, etc.) and how they can elevate storytelling
