Art Director — Lifestyle & Tech Brand
Location: London (Hybrid, 3–4 days in office)
Salary: £85,000 + Benefits
About the Brand
This high-growth tech brand is redefining how people capture and celebrate their memories through beautifully designed photo products. Growing over 50% year-on-year, they’re expanding across global markets - including a strong push into the US - with creativity at the heart of their success.
The team is passionate about storytelling, lifestyle, and the power of design to evoke emotion. They value collaboration, trust, and a genuine belief in building something together - not just following templates.
The Role
The brand is looking for an Art Director to help shape and elevate its creative direction across channels - from email and social to digital experiences and seasonal campaigns.
This person will play a pivotal role in building, mentoring, and inspiring a growing design team, owning the visual output and ensuring consistency and craft across every touchpoint.
This is a creative leadership role for someone who thrives in a hands-on environment - equally comfortable conceptualising ideas, designing in Figma, and guiding freelancers or junior designers through production.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and evolve the visual identity across digital, CRM, and social platforms - focusing on brand consolidation and seasonal storytelling.
* Art direct and manage a team of freelance and in-house designers, with plans to grow the permanent design team next year.
* Partner closely with content and video teams to bring creative concepts to life through photoshoots, campaigns, and product visuals.
* Be hands-on in Figma - bringing clarity, originality, and craft to every project.
* Drive alignment between editorial, social, design, and operations to ensure a unified creative vision.
* Collaborate with leadership to set creative standards, build design processes, and strengthen team culture.
* Communicate clearly and confidently - articulating creative rationale and inspiring trust across the business.
About You
* Experienced Art Director or Senior Designer ready to step up into a creative lead position.
* A portfolio that demonstrates conceptual thinking, brand storytelling, and strong visual craft across lifestyle or consumer tech brands.
* Deep understanding of Figma, digital design, and integrated campaign work.
* Equally confident directing others as you are rolling up your sleeves.
* Skilled at managing freelancers and balancing creativity with commercial goals.
* Thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment — building rather than inheriting.
* Brings empathy, clarity, and passion for connecting with audiences, particularly in female-led or family-oriented brands.
What’s on Offer
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays
* Flexible working hours and hybrid setup (minimum 3 days in-office; Monday mandatory)
* A supportive, transparent culture where trust equals autonomy
* The opportunity to help build a brand -not just work on one
This is more than an Art Director role - it’s a chance to shape the creative heart of a brand that helps people hold onto what matters most.
