Art Director (Remote)

You have superior creative instincts; a proven track record of developing successful, comprehensive brand systems; and an insistence on the protocols and design-development habits that lead to efficiency.

We want to put you on a national stage alongside North Charles’ 50+-year legacy of doing the most recognized and impactful work in service to education institutions.

So, as an NCSDO art director, you would 

  • work collaboratively with teams that include a creative director, project manager, writer, and UX specialist translating our clients’ objectives into creative expressions that are channel-agnostic and responsive to North Charles-authored brand strategy.
  • develop cohesive systems of communications to support the brand platforms as defined in strategy and creative briefs.
  • assume responsibility for maintaining the integrity of design; and be responsive to budget factors.
  • translate client objectives to communications solutions. We’ll help you develop a well-informed understanding of the company’s portfolio and our clients’ competitor lanscape so that design solutions are never derivative. As an agency that stakes it reputation on providing custom solutions—and one that has chosen to specialize in education—this is a critical facet of a North Charles art director’s role.
  • cultivate relationships with creative resources such as illustrators, animators, and photographers, and serve as an important contributor to the evaluation of new talent.

REQUISITES

  • A passion for work that supports clients whose impact is transformative in meaningful, positive, ways and whose missions, by their very nature, improve culture and society.
  • A reader who recognizes the potential of language and celebrates the written word in their design solutions.
  • A minimum of three years of primary art-direction experience in an environment responsible for brand creative development.
  • A portfolio that reflects a sophisticated aesthetic and demonstrates how communications problems were solved and client goals achieved.
