Art Director

Description:

Mosaic Art Directors thrive at the intersection of big ideas and beautiful execution.

At Mosaic, we're on a mission to create human-centric experiences that drive consumer behavior. From events and activations, to stunts and sampling, to campaigns and content, we're all about building brand moments that matter-intersecting culture and fostering community all along the way.

To put it simply, we actualize action. And every action starts with an idea.

That is where you come in. Our next Art Director. A visual guru with a toolkit full of design and art direction fundamentals. A layout lover who can turn any page, any canvas, any screen, any environment into a beautiful composition of the brand. A big thinker who has a passion to blow open the brief and curate the next "never been done before" moment.

In this role, we are seeking fresh talent who want to find a home to grow their career. Who understand the world of art direction and design, but crave even more. Who are filled with potential and want to help mold the future of US Creative at Mosaic.

Our US Creative team is primarily Chicago-based, but we encourage candidates within NYC, Dallas, Austin, Los Angeles, and Seattle markets to apply. Think you're the right fit but reside elsewhere? Let's talk we will consider remote rockstars, too.
