Here's a very short list of just some of the things you’ll be doing:
· Helping to define and enhance our brand, and applying it to everything (from our website to our sales collateral to branded Stan Smith's).
· Owning that brand, and helping to manage external suppliers (that's right, the agencies will become your bitches) in conjunction with the marketing director.
· Driving (along with the marketing director) a global advertising campaign. Every. Single. Aspect of it. You’ll have input into concepts, strategy and of course, lead the design.
· Mentoring younger designers.
· Feeding into every other aspect of our business, from app UI/UX to offline events.
What do you need to bring to the table?
· At least 5 years of strategic art direction, brand development and implementation experience.
· Pixel–perfect attention to detail.
· Expert–level digital design.
· Experience working with developers (you don't need to write the code, but you need to know what makes their lives easier).
· A portfolio that shows diverse, comprehensive brand work and real–world business design.
· Experience with video production and/or animation would be a major bonus.
