About You

You’re an art director that loves coming up with big ideas. Concept is king in your world. You’re comfortable working on a team with a writer and have experience working with production to make cool stuff. You care about the craft – type, color, composition – and you know the details matter. You work well with others, take feedback in stride and understand that every assignment is an opportunity to be creative.

You're not precious about your work — you're passionate about the outcome. And you understand that great art direction isn't just beautiful, it's effective.

Position Overview

Cronin is looking for a Art Director who brings both craft and curiosity to everything they create. You'll work across a wide range of clients and categories — concepting, designing, and producing work that is visually compelling, strategically grounded, and built to perform. This is a hands-on creative role with real ownership and visibility, working closely with our creative leadership, copywriters, and account teams to deliver exceptional work from brief to final file.

Job Responsibilities

Design & Concepting

Working with a writer, concept and execute original design solutions across brand, digital, print, social, and campaign work
Translate creative briefs into compelling visual ideas that solve real business problems
Develop design systems, visual identities, and brand guidelines that are consistent and scalable
Bring a strong point of view to every project while remaining open to collaboration and feedback
Contribute ideas in brainstorms and creative reviews — your voice matters here

Production & Execution

Take projects from concept through final production — including print, digital, social, and out-of-home
Prepare and deliver final files to spec for a variety of vendors, platforms, and formats
Ensure all work meets quality standards before it leaves the agency
Manage multiple projects simultaneously with a keen eye for detail and a respect for deadlines

Collaboration & Leadership

Work closely with copywriters, creative directors, and account teams throughout the creative process
Ability to provide art direction and guidance to junior designers and production artists, if needed
Contribute to a collaborative, respectful creative environment where ideas can thrive
Communicate design decisions clearly and confidently to internal teams and clients when needed

Qualifications & Skills

Required:

5+ years of design experience, preferably within an advertising, marketing, or creative agency environment
A strong portfolio demonstrating a range of work across brand, campaign, digital, and print
Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite — Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign
Strong understanding of typography, layout, color theory, and visual storytelling
Experience designing for multiple channels and formats — digital, social, print, OOH, and more
Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously without sacrificing quality
Strong communication and collaboration skills
Experience providing direction or mentorship to junior team members

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with motion graphics or video editing (After Effects, Premiere)
Familiarity with UX/UI design principles and tools such as Figma
Experience presenting creative work to clients or senior leadership
Understanding of print production processes and vendor specifications
Familiarity with social media platform specs and best practices

What Sets You Apart

You concept as naturally as you execute
You ask questions before you open Illustrator
You care about the strategy behind the work, not just the aesthetic
You make everyone around you better
You're as proud of the thinking as you are of the design
