Job Description

Department: Creative

Reports to: Senior Creative Director

About the Role
Giant Noise is looking for an Art Director who can bring big ideas to life while guiding a growing team of creative talent. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-moving creative environment, loves mentoring others, and knows how to translate strategy into high-impact visual work across digital, social, photo, and video. You’ll play a key role in connecting creative ideas to strategic insights — translating audience understanding and brand positioning into concept-driven campaigns that drive measurable impact.

You’ll partner closely with our Senior Creative Director but will independently manage the day-to-day creative output including resourcing and assigning work, supporting designers / photographers / videographers, and ensuring projects run smoothly from concept to delivery. If you’re equal parts maker, manager, and creative problem-solver, we’d love to meet you.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Lead creative development across digital, social, print, photo, and video, bringing strong visual storytelling and culturally relevant thinking to every project.
  • Manage, mentor, and support creatives — including designers, photographers, videographers, and junior art directors.
  • Staff and resource projects by assigning work based on skills, capacity, and project needs while maintaining a roster of trusted freelance talent for overflow or specialized creative support.
  • Oversee production from pre-production planning through on-set creative direction and final delivery.
  • Develop campaign assets, pitch decks, and presentations that clearly communicate concepts and inspire client buy-in. 
  • Present creative work to clients and new business prospects with clarity and enthusiasm, articulating the “why” behind creative choices and strategic direction.
  • Champion integrated storytelling across PR, Digital, and Paid Media, ensuring creative concepts are consistent and connected across earned, owned, and paid channels.
  • Provide constructive feedback, coaching, and performance guidance to grow creative team members.
  • Help shape creative processes, tools, and systems that elevate output quality, improve collaboration, and strengthen efficiency across the department.
  • Maintain high visual standards, reviewing and approving final deliverables for quality and brand alignment.
  • Anticipate production challenges and proactively solve them before they impact timelines or creative quality.

     

What We’re Looking For

  • 8+ years of creative experience, including 2+ years managing or mentoring creative team members.
  • A portfolio that showcases strong design thinking, visual storytelling, and campaign work across photo, video, and digital.
  • Hands-on experience with pre-/post-production, prop styling, and production design.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom) and Google Slides.
  • Strong aesthetic sensibility and the ability to give clear, constructive creative direction.
  • Strong organizational skills, comfort juggling multiple deadlines, and ease working in fast-paced environments.
  • A passion for culture! Music, entertainment, art, film, social, emerging tech,  and how it shapes creative work.
  • Bonus points for motion design or video editing, production experience, bilingual fluency (Spanish), or hands-on photography/videography 
  • Experience developing and maintaining brand systems and visual identities.
  • Understanding of digital ad specs, social media best practices, and platform nuances that influence design choices.
  • Experience collaborating with external vendors, production partners, or agencies.

We’re committed to supporting the whole person – at work and beyond. As part of our team, you’ll enjoy a flexible hybrid schedule, a creative and collaborative Austin office, and the chance to work across exciting industries including hospitality, F&B, lifestyle, entertainment, and culture.

Benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage (with fully covered employee dental and vision premiums), a 401(k) with employer match, generous PTO, paid holidays, and paid parental leave.
