Sydney, New South Wales, Australia The Trade Desk, Inc. Full time

The Trade Desk is changing the way global brands, and their agencies advertise to audiences around the world. How? With a media buying platform that helps brands deliver a more insightful and relevant ad experience for consumers — and sets a new standard for global reach, accuracy, and transparency. We are proud of the culture we have built. We value the unique experiences and perspectives that each person brings to The Trade Desk, and we are committed to fostering inclusive spaces where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work every day.

We're looking for an Art Director (Design) based in Sydney, Australia to join our Creative Shop. Our ideal candidate is a skilled designer at heart who thinks conceptually and strategically. It is essential to the role that this individual is collaborative, a great communicator, detail-oriented, and has experience working across a diverse range of creative/design initiatives in Australia and throughout the APAC region.

So, if you are talented, driven, and eager to join a dynamic, globally connected team, then we want to talk.

What you'll do:

  • Create industry leading work that influences and inspires The Trade Desk's visual brand identity and delivers a superior brand/customer experience across a variety of media (events, regional advertising, web, reports, social media, and video content).
  • Partner with our Brand, Product Marketing, Campaign, Research, Digital, Content, Social, and Events teams to concept and execute work that is on brief and strategic.
  • Create best-in-class playbooks and guidelines for regional events, campaigns and shoots.
  • Design and develop digital experiences for our corporate website, campaign landing pages, and other web properties managed by The Trade Desk.
  • Develop live action to animation-based video content that either helps us build brand awareness and provides industry education for both our internal/external audiences. This will include pre-production (concepting, storyboarding), on set (art direction) and post-production (editing, shaping narrative).

Who you are:

  • 8+ years of experience focused on developing creative work at an agency or in-house for an established global B2B, B2C brand, or equivalent freelance experience. With at least 3+ of those years leading/concepting projects and working with senior leadership.
  • A "creative Swiss army knife" and "design guru" with an impressive portfolio that exhibits a balance of your conceptual approach and technical strengths in a range of projects including brand identity work, digital advertising, web design, event branding, social media marketing, and video content.
  • Comfort and experience partnering with a copywriter, collaborating with other designers, and working with editors and producers.
  • Fluent in Adobe Creative Suites (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and Figma.
  • A complete understanding of typography, composition, hierarchy, and color balance, with in-depth knowledge of design principles and best practices.
  • Motion graphics, UX experience, and on set art direction experience are a plus.
  • Proven project management skills with ability to prioritize and meet multiple deadlines.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Please provide a link to your portfolio in your application (will not be considered without portfolio website).
