Position Overview:

Campus Ink is seeking a skilled and hands-on Art Director to execute and oversee artwork production across our apparel and merchandise lines. This is a player-coach role built for someone who wants to stay close to the craft while shaping the people and process around it. You'll turn brand direction into finished, production-ready designs that show up on real products worn by real fans and athletes nationwide. Working closely with the accounts and production teams, the Art Director will manage day-to-day artwork execution, lead a team of designers and illustrators, and build workflows that keep creative output moving efficiently without sacrificing quality. A successful candidate is a strong craftsperson, a proactive problem solver, and someone who thrives on balancing hands-on design work with team leadership. If you love making things, coaching people, and seeing your work land in the hands of customers, this role was built for you.

Production Support: Support the concept-to-tech-pack process for jersey and private label products, working closely with the executive team and manufacturers to ensure design accuracy and product quality.
Team Management: Lead a team of designers and illustrators, ensuring appropriate delegation of projects based on team strengths, managing workload, and providing day-to-day mentorship and craft feedback.
Workflow Ownership: Own and continuously improve the creative production pipeline that includes intake, revisions, approvals, and handoff to production, to reduce bottlenecks and minimize turnaround time.
Quality Control: Maintain strict quality control on all artwork output, catching issues before files move to production.
Cross-Team Coordination: Partner with business development and account management to keep creative timelines aligned with partner and licensing deadlines.

Requirements

Proficiency in Apparel design. Preferred in screen printing, embroidery and digital decoration technique.
5+ years of experience in art direction or senior design roles, including at least 1-2 years managing designers or a creative team.

Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) and production file prep for print/embroidery.
Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and hard deadlines.
Excellent communication skills, particularly in giving clear creative feedback to a team.
