Associate Art Director, Digital

We are looking for an experienced digital first designer to join our team.

You don't just know the buzzwords - PDP pages, A+ content, user experience, shopper marketing - you have a passionate point of view about them in relation to a large digital portfolio of premium CPG and B2B brands. And you're excited to partner with other creatives to bring those brands' stories to life in digital environments.

You have inhouse or agency experience and you understand the discipline required to focus on consumers first. You know how to collaborate with writers, partner with digital managers, present your work to internal stakeholders - and (seemingly effortlessly) juggle all three on any given day.

This position is based in Chicago or Cleveland with collaborative teams in both locations.

Job duties include contact with other employees and access confidential and proprietary information and/or other items of value, and such access may be supervised or unsupervised. The Company therefore has determined that a review of criminal history is necessary to protect the business and its operations and reputation and is necessary to protect the safety of the Company's staff, employees, and business relationships.
