About the Role

We are looking for a Creative Director to lead the evolution of Artsy and Artnet’s brands and visual identities. This role will define how both brands show up across every touchpoint, requiring a leader who can think across brand strategy, positioning, visual identity, campaign development, and activation. You will work closely with Growth Marketing, Content, Product, and Executive Leadership, reporting to the VP of Marketing and Content and leading a small creative function. This is an opportunity to have an outsized impact on how the leading brands in the art world express themselves.

Responsibilities

Lead the evolution of Artsy and Artnet’s brand and visual identity across all customer touchpoints, ensuring consistency, clarity, and creative distinction.
Develop scalable creative systems and design frameworks that enable efficient execution across channels and teams.
Shape and articulate Artsy and Artnet’s broader brand strategy, including positioning, storytelling, and visual expression.
Partner closely with Product, Growth Marketing, and Content teams to bring the brand to life in cohesive and collaborative ways.
Lead a small creative team, setting clear direction and priorities, establishing effective ways of working, thoughtfully planning resources, and ensuring high-quality execution.
Build scalable creative systems, design frameworks, and AI-enabled workflows so the team and the wider org move with clarity, brand unity, and speed.
Grow a small team of 1-2 brand designers while directing contractors, freelancers, and creative partners, and working closely with Product Design.
Work with cross-functional partners, to concept and plan the execution of integrated campaigns and programs across a wide range of media and platforms: digital, print, video, social and content.
Craft concepts and partner closely with Product & Product Design to execute across all mediums and audiences including our websites, app, emails, ad campaigns, video and audio, IRL, and more.

Requirements

Significant experience leading brand and visual identity work for consumer-facing companies, agencies, or culturally relevant brands.
Experience working both in-house and at agencies or brand studios.
Understand and lead on the “why” not just the “what”.
Think in systems: you can take intuitive creative judgment and turn it into direction and frameworks others can execute against, without flattening the craft.
Genuinely AI-native — you’re already building AI tools, automation, and modular production into how creative gets made.
Led brand-building initiatives across the full brand lifecycle—from defining brand architecture and strategic positioning to developing visual identity systems and bringing them to life through digital and physical/experiential campaigns, content, and activations.
Excellent communicator who can influence cross-functional partners, align stakeholders, and bring teams along through clear creative direction and storytelling.
You are currently authorized to live and work in the United States.
