Art Director

Why this role exists

Justlife is scaling fast across the UAE & KSA, and our brand needs a creative owner — not just another pair of hands. We're hiring an Art Director to take creative direction across our highest-volume channels, raise the bar on quality, and make the whole team faster and sharper. You'll ship a lot, and you'll decide what good looks like.

You'll report to the Creative Marketing Manager and work across campaigns, CRM, social, performance ads, in-app communication, and brand touchpoints. This role moves fast and ships at volume — throughput is a core expectation — but we hire people who treat speed and craft as the same discipline, not a trade-off.

What you'll own

• Set and execute visual direction for marketing assets across all channels — owning the work from brief to final delivery.
• Drive high throughput: handle the majority of day-to-day design demand while keeping quality consistently high and turnaround fast.
• Use AI tools confidently across research, concept development, image generation, asset creation, and production efficiency — and help the team get better at it.
• Bring ideas, references, and visual directions proactively; improve briefs instead of waiting for instructions.
• Partner closely with marketing, product, and other teams to translate needs into clear, on-brand visual solutions.
• Own and protect brand consistency across every touchpoint.
• Raise the team's craft — through your standards, your feedback, and how you work.

What great looks like in 6 months

• You handle most day-to-day design demand independently, delivering high-quality work on time and at volume.
• You know the Justlife brand, campaign formats, and design standards cold, and apply them confidently across channels.
• You use AI tools effectively to increase both speed and creative range.
• Stakeholders trust your design judgment and feel supported by your work.
• You're shaping creative direction — bringing references, sharper directions, and better briefs — not just executing.

How we measure success

• Throughput: you handle the majority of day-to-day requests independently, at consistently high volume.
• Turnaround: request cycle times improve while quality stays high.
• Quality & consistency: your work holds the brand together across every touchpoint.
• Creative leadership: you contribute direction and proactive thinking to briefs and campaigns.
• AI fluency: you use AI tools effectively and confidently as part of your process.
• Trust: stakeholders rely on your judgment.

Must-haves

• A strong portfolio showing visual design, campaign work, social content, and brand communication — ideally at volume and pace.
• 5–7 years of relevant design experience.
• Strong design eye: layout, typography, composition, branding, and visual consistency.
• Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Comfortable using AI tools across research, ideation, image generation, asset creation, and workflow efficiency.
• Proven ability to own design tasks end-to-end with minimal supervision and deliver high quality at high volume.
• Good English: you understand briefs, ask the right questions, and explain design decisions clearly.
• Proactive, coachable, and able to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• Bachelor's degree in design, visual communication, or a related field preferred (portfolio outweighs formal education).

Nice-to-haves

• Motion graphics or basic animation for social, CRM, and campaign assets.
• Strong grasp of social formats, trends, and platform needs.
• Video editing, motion templates, or adapting statics into animated formats.
• Background in agency, startup, e-commerce, marketplace, or other fast-moving marketing environments.

You'll be assessed primarily on your portfolio, a structured case study, and your panel presentation.
