We are partnering with a growing, industry-leading B2B SaaS company that is dedicated to making digital transformation attainable for organizations everywhere. Our client builds integrated, intuitive software solutions that simplify complex business processes for enterprise IT leaders and system administrators.

We are seeking a talented, hands-on Art Director to join their creative team. In this role, you will lead the conceptual and visual development of multi-channel marketing campaigns while personally designing and executing polish-level visual assets across digital, print, sales collateral, and motion media.

This is a hands-on visual role first - ideal for a seasoned creative leader who loves crafting high-impact B2B visual concepts, maintaining systematic brand guidelines, and mentoring fellow designers without the administrative burden of direct people management.

• Drive B2B SaaS Campaigns: Develop and lead creative concepts, visual directions, and multi-touch campaign assets targeting technical decision-makers (IT SysAdmins, CIOs, and IT Directors).
• Hands-on Execution: Personally design and produce high-impact creative work across all project scales - from rapid-turnaround digital ads and landing page visuals to multi-page data reports, pitch decks, and brand collateral.
• Functional Creative Leadership: Serve as a mentor and visual authority for graphic designers and cross-functional partners, offering thoughtful feedback and raising the creative bar across the organization.
• Brand Governance & Systems: Maintain, elevate, and govern brand guidelines, Figma component libraries, and design systems to ensure consistency across digital and print touchpoints.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with internal marketing stakeholders, UI/UX designers, project managers, and in-house videographers to bring cohesive creative strategies to life.
• Modern Tools & AI Integration: Stay current on industry design trends and leverage AI-assisted design tools and workflows to optimize creative speed and output.

• Experience: 10+ years of total creative experience, including 5+ years in a dedicated Art Director role.
• Domain Focus: Strong background on B2B SaaS or tech, with a portfolio demonstrating a deep understanding of marketing to technical B2B audiences.
• Design Mastery: Expert-level proficiency across typography, layout, color theory, grid systems, and visual hierarchy.
• Toolkit: Advanced, hands-on expertise in Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). Experience or familiarity with motion graphics/video direction is a strong plus.
• Process & Systems Mindset: Highly organized and detail-oriented ("Type A") approach to file setup, design systems, and systematic workflows.
• Communication: Exceptional ability to explain design rationale clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
