Company Description

Hi there! We're Razorfish. We've been leading the marketing industry with our digital expertise since the start of the internet. But in 2020, we did a full reboot. What's different? It all starts with people. Weird, wonderful, complex people - with diverse backgrounds in strategy, creative and technology. But no matter how different we are, we all have one thing in common. We believe our differences are our strength. So we push for inclusion, challenge convention and bring in new perspectives, to inspire new ideas. Because when we connect by understanding what makes people different, we can create unforgettable experiences that enrich lives. Join us at razorfish.com.

Overview

We're looking for a Sr. Art Director with a background in digital, motion, and animation design to help us manage and lead cutting edge design thinking for one of today's top automotive clients.

In this role, you'll dream up new campaign ideas and then bring them to life by making pixels dance, turning concepts into memorable, on-brand visual experiences. You'll be joining a diverse design team, becoming an important cog in a fine-tuned machine. You'll partner cross-functionally with clients and creative teams to create compelling stories and quality product and lifestyle content across digital, social, email, web, mobile, video, and whatever wild format the internet dreams up next.

So who are you? You are a leader that can motivate a team to create world-class work with the confidence to approve copy and art for one of the world's premiere automotive brands. You can build trust with the client by presenting design thinking and marketing solutions to real business problems. You are thoughtful and collaborative with a passion for design, marketing, and execution. And, most importantly, your personal killer app is owning a brand voice and understanding how that is expressed in all mediums. And if you love cars and car culture? Well, that's just a bonus.
