Art Director

Art Director 

Los Angeles 

Tower 28 is building a world where beauty is accessible, inclusive, and sensitive. We want to push the boundaries of what beauty should be: a mix of high quality, high standards, and high levels of fun. We want to be a beauty big sister, who knows what’s right (clean, non-toxic, vegan, cruelty-free) but also knows how to have a good time (clean beauty doesn’t have to be so serious!).

Art Director at Tower28 will play a key role in expressing and differentiating visual presentation of the brand. This role will be responsible for elevating and maintaining quality of visual expression in photography, video and social content.

We seek an inspired eye, adept at conceptualizing and directing stunning visuals. You should be at home on-set and have a deep roster of talented partners as known collaborators. You check your ego at the door while maintaining a high level of editorial discernment.

This hybrid role requires 3 days in office in Santa Monica, and reports directly to our VP of Creative.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead and execute image and video art direction cross channels
   
• Formalize visual strategy, maintaining consistency across channels while evolving and pushing creative boundaries
   
• Create and enforce brand standards: lighting, styling and brand codes across all art and content
   
• Generate detailed shoot planning documents, ensuring communication of creative goals, concept, fulfillment of deliverables and efficient and thoughtful use of on-set time.
   
• Collaborate hand-in-hand with our graphic design team to create unified, memorable campaigns and content
   
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product Development, Marketing, and Merchandising to ensure product storytelling, clarity of message and product distinction
   
• Supervise and manage an efficient post production process
   
• Mentor junior art directors and designers

What You Bring

• 10+ years of hands-on Art Direction experience on-set and within a beauty brand
   
• Deep familiarity with technical art direction for beauty, both still and on-figure
   
• Intuitive connection to cultural and platform trends, bringing fresh ideas and visual storytelling techniques
   
• Skilled in multi-tasking, highly organized, with strong presentation skills and the ability to build beautiful  decks
   
• Exceptional attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and the ability to juggle multiple projects with grace
   
• A self-starter attitude, collaborative spirit, and a love of design, culture, and branding
   
• Strong relationship-building skills, both with internal cross-functional partners and external talent
   
• Strong expectation-setting skills, capable of pushing their reports to new heights, exceeding internal/external partner expectations.
   
• Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign); bonus points for comfort with retouching and video editing software
