    McJ is looking for a senior art director to join our Creative team. You dream big visual ideas, bring people along to get excited about them too, and ultimately bring them to life. You refine every detail at every opportunity along that journey, from ideation to final delivery. You think and execute visually on your own, and you work hand in hand with designers to reach the very best visual solutions. You compellingly articulate your vision and never rest in finding the very best visual solution for solving a business problem.

    Concept and execute ideas that solve the business problems of our clients and get noticed outside of our industry

    Push for unexpected visual solutions throughout your projects

    Dream up and share innovative, proactive thinking our clients aren’t asking for

    Present work dynamically and confidently to any level of client, bringing fervor to the ideas and grounding them as solutions to our client’s business objectives

    Understand that you cannot solve the brief alone and know when to pull in partners from other concentrations

    What you bring:

    Proficiency in standard industry software and tools, including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Animate, InDesign, Flash, Dreamweaver, After Effects, and Premier Pro

    Professional-level written and oral communication skills

    Ability to function professionally at the highest level in a fast-paced environment

    Excellence in presenting to both client and internal teams

    A strong design sense and a keen eye for visual representation

    Broad experience in on-set production

    5-8 years of experience in an ad agency or in-house creative department

    A portfolio that spans media and category

    This is a remote position.
