Job Level
About the role
- Lead the creative development of large-scale visual storytelling that brings Mercury to life in expressive ways.
- Ensure campaigns connect seamlessly across formats from out-of-home and experiential moments to digital placements, paid social, and performance marketing ads with coherence and craft across every touchpoint.
- Contribute and translate complex brand strategy into simple, magnetic visual stories that connect with Mercury’s audience of founders and builders.
- Concept, design, and art-direct campaigns that translate Mercury’s voice and visual system into bold, emotionally resonant, and culturally attuned experiences.
- Design across scales from the macro impact of a citywide takeover to the micro craft of typography, layout, and color harmony.
- Collaborate with external agencies, photographers, and illustrators to bring ambitious creativity to life with quality and precision.
- Champion craft and clarity in every deliverable from the initial sketch to final production files.
- Effectively balance multiple projects, from concepting through to final execution, managing timelines with clarity and calm.
- Collaborate proactively and communicate effectively in an environment that values diverse perspectives, creativity, and innovation.
Requirements
- 7–10 years of experience in brand design, art direction, or visual communication, ideally with a mix of in-house and agency experience.
- A strong portfolio that demonstrates conceptual range, systems thinking, and refined visual execution across print and environmental formats.
- Deep understanding of typography, composition, and storytelling principles.
- A proactive problem-solving drive, ability to manage multiple deliverables, and ease in receiving or handing off projects.
- Experience leading campaigns from concept through production, including managing vendors, testing proofs, and navigating print or fabrication logistics.
- Comfort working autonomously and collaboratively in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment.
- A sharp eye for craft, but also for cultural and conceptual applications, you design for resonance, not decoration.
- Strong communication skills, able to clearly articulate concepts, ideas, and creative decisions to internal teams and external partners.
- Passion for mentoring other designers and cross-functional partners to enhance our creative execution.
