Sydney, Australia AFFINITY Full time

You’re a great conceptual thinker - working alongside a superstar copywriter, you’ll contribute to creative development and conceptual thinking on client briefs and develop a diverse range of compelling ideas that work strategically as well as aesthetically with the ability to turn a concept into a polished and intelligent response across all mediums.

As Art Director, you’ll be responsible for the creation and delivery of design and comms projects for both AFFINITY’s clients and our own brands, ensuring the highest creative standards across all. You’re a key team member who believes in the power of ideas and design to communicate and can create beautifully crafted brand experiences across both physical and digital platforms. As part of a lean, but highly experienced team, you’ll be working closely with the ECD, conceptualising work, as well as producing and preparing output in readiness for production.

**Could this be you?**

**A true professional **- you have at least 7 years’ experience, with a large part of that in an advertising agency.

**Legendary leader** - you’re an emerging leader and have experience mentoring team members.

**Recognised talent** - you’ve already got some impressive creative awards to your name and are keen to win more.

**An enthusiastic, motivated collaborator** - You’re passionate about helping shape a strong and positive creative culture and operations, where ego takes a back seat to delivering client outcomes.

**Social & digital driven** - You know Social and Digital inside out, keep on top of all the latest trends and love teaching your team and clients what could be possible.

**Design Wiz** - You have strong skills and a passion for typography, composition and layout, as well as an eye for detail.

**Project Manager** - You’ll own and be accountable for assigned projects/brands and manage all aspects from concept to executions. Grace under pressure, you know how to deliver perfection on deadline and budget and love to solve problems on a day-to-day basis.

**Details**
- As an Art Director in our Creative Team, you’ll be responsible for working directly with strategists, creatives, and SMEs to ensure the effective translation of thinking into high quality initiatives.
- Briefs will span a broad cross section of categories and challenges, from beer to beauty, websites to banners: a very different day every day.
- Sydney based, with some WFH flexibility built in.
- Available immediately.
- Genuinely supportive environment with an amazing team of thinkers - you will go to bed smarter every day than when you woke up.
- Package based on experience.

AFFINITY is 100% focussed on delivering brand growth. We’re a full-service BX agency, committed to delivering business-transforming ideas and work for our clients.

And we’re not doing too badly for ourselves with a number of recent business wins to our name. A welcoming, supportive culture, we’re serious about being the best at what we do, whilst looking out for one another. Our office is smack bang in a great inner-city spot with awesome cafés and public transport on our doorstep.
