Art Director at Constellation Software, Inc.

About the Role

We're seeking a dynamic and highly creative Art Director to join our growing team. This is a unique opportunity for a hands-on visual leader with a strong foundation in traditional branding and visual identity who is passionate about leveraging systems, automation, and AI tools to deliver impactful, on-brand creative at scale. You'll be instrumental in translating client needs into compelling visual solutions, dedicating a significant portion of your time to executing diverse client tasks, managing 1-2 junior creatives, and providing critical support to the Creative Director and CMO across various projects.

This is not your typical design role. It sits at the intersection of art direction, AI optimization, and content production. You’ll bring taste and craft; we’ll bring scale and speed.

What You'll Do

• Creative Development & Execution
  Design high-performing assets across channels, including paid social, display, email, video, and branded templates—with a focus on performance, flexibility, and platform compatibility.
  
  
• Collaboration with Executive Leadership
  Comfortably work alongside executive leadership, providing creative input, presenting design rationale, and contributing to strategic discussions as a key creative contributor.
  
  
• AI-Powered Design Implementation
  Learn and use Constellation’s proprietary GenAI and content automation systems to create scalable visuals that feel custom, not templated. Help define how AI and creativity co-exist in daily workflows.
  
  
• Template-Driven System Design
  Develop modular design systems for multi-brand clients that strike a balance between creative freedom and brand compliance, particularly in regulated industries such as healthcare and auto.
  
  
• Brand & Visual Identity Stewardship
  Uphold (and push) brand guidelines across every execution. Maintain consistency while building variety across format and funnel.
  
  
• Team Management & Mentorship
  Lead and mentor 1-2 junior creatives, providing clear direction, constructive feedback, and fostering their professional growth. Oversee their daily tasks and ensure their contributions align with project goals and brand standards.
  
  

What You Bring

• 7–9 years of design experience in an agile, high-growth environment, ideally with exposure to brand systems and strategic client campaigns
  
  
• Deep understanding of brand governance, with experience in developing clear and actionable brand guidelines
  
  
• A portfolio that shows taste, polish, and versatility—bonus if you can show scalable systems or template thinking
  
  
• Confidence in making high-impact design decisions and providing approvals within workflows
  
  
• Strategic mindset—you think about why something works, not just how it looks
  
  
• Passion for visual hierarchy, type systems, layout, and production-ready design
  
  
• Familiarity with creative production for industries where compliance and consistency matter
  
  
• Ability to manage multiple projects, take feedback, and push creative ideas further
  
  
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro) and Figma
  
  

Bonus Points

• Hands-on experience with creative automation or content personalization tools
  
  
• Experience designing within performance-focused campaigns (paid social, programmatic, DCO)
  
  
• Automotive or pharma vertical experience
  
  
• UX/UI Design skills are a plus
  
  

Why You’ll Thrive Here

• You’re not afraid of speed—we move fast and ship smart.
  
  
• You’re excited to experiment with how AI enhances human creativity.
  
  
• You want to be part of a creative team that’s building the future of marketing—now.
