About the role
This is a genuinely exciting time to join Envato. Our Brand and Creative team is riding the momentum of some big milestones—after launching our rebrand in August 2024 and our first ever brand campaign in October, there’s a real buzz about what’s next. We’ve got plenty of opportunities here for creative people who want to dive in and make the most of them.
We’re on the lookout for a driven Art Director who’s ready to leave their mark in an industry that’s moving fast. If you’re someone who loves getting on the tools just as much as coming up with the big ideas – and you’re always looking for opportunities to jump on (or ways to create your own) – we’d love to hear from you.
As our Art Director, you’ll be a creative force – working closely with our Creative Director to dream up and deliver ideas that truly stand out. Your mission is to strengthen our high-end design capabilities through your exceptional craft.
What you’ll be doing
- Partner with the Creative Director, marketing team, and fellow creatives to develop advertising and campaigns that are strategically sharp and creatively bold.
- Take ideas from concept to execution—crafting campaigns that are visually striking, insight-driven, and aligned with Envato’s brand and values.
- Draw on your agency experience and campaign know-how to ensure all creative is not just on brand, but breakthrough—cutting through category norms and resonating in broader marketing culture.
- Bring a passion for technology, AI, and creative innovation—exploring how new tools and platforms can unlock fresh storytelling and design possibilities.
- Design and direct visual assets across digital, social, video, and product, always ensuring polished, platform-aware execution.
- Maintain a high bar for visual quality, consistency, and brand storytelling across every touchpoint.
- Translate strategy and insight into big ideas that push the brand forward and deepen our connection with current and future customers.
- Support the evolution of Envato’s visual identity—injecting fresh thinking while protecting brand integrity and cohesion.
- Collaborate with teams across marketing, design, product, and engineering to deliver work that meets both brand and business objectives.
- Help champion a culture of creative excellence, openness, and collaboration—where strong ideas are valued and craft is respected.
- Stay curious and on the pulse of design trends, emerging platforms, and new creative tech to keep our work fresh, relevant, and ahead of the curve.
About you
- You’ve built a solid foundation with a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Fine Arts, Advertising or a related field, and have at least 5 years of experience, ideally a mix of agency and in-house. Your portfolio tells the story: bold ideas, exceptional design craft, and marketing campaigns that captivate and convert.
- You’re a standout visual storyteller with a razor-sharp eye for detail. Recognition has followed you, but it’s your ambition that truly stands out—you aim to create world-class work that makes people stop and take notice.
- You’re already riding the AI wave, with strong prompting and generation skills that blend human insight with emerging tech. Your toolkit spans the industry standards—Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and beyond.
- Deadlines don’t rattle you. Your excellent time management means you consistently deliver top-tier work, even under pressure. You’re curious, fearless, and thrive on experimenting with new approaches and creative risks.
- You communicate your ideas with clarity and conviction, whether you’re presenting to stakeholders or collaborating with your team. You’re a proactive self-starter who doesn’t just seize opportunities—you create them.
- Above all, you’re driven by a love for innovation and are committed to excellence in creative thinking, art direction, and design.
