Job Summary

We’re looking for an Associate Art Director to join our in-house creative team. This is a highly hands-on role for a strong visual thinker who can concept and execute across photography, video, and design.

Reporting into the Creative Director, you’ll partner closely to lead shoot execution, develop creative assets across all channels, and help evolve how we integrate AI into our creative workflows.

Key Responsibilities

Photography/Video

  • Concept and execute e-commerce, lifestyle, and brand content shoots from pre-production through final delivery
  • Lead pre-production logistics: casting, location scouting, prop sourcing, and styling coordination
  • Direct on set — giving clear, confident direction to photographers, talent, and stylists to achieve an elevated, consistent visual standard
  • Develop and maintain shot lists, call sheets, and visual references
  • Own the post-production workflow: selects, edit direction, retouching, color, and final delivery across all channels
  • Drive video creative from concept through post
  • Direct videographers and editors, maintaining brand voice
  • Stay current on video formats and platform best practices (Reels, TikTok, YouTube, CTV)

Design

  • Design assets across all brand channels: e-commerce, email, paid media, social, OOH, packaging, and retail
  • Build seasonal campaign toolkits, templates, and visual systems that scale efficiently across the marketing calendar
  • Collaborate with Marketing and Merchandising teams to ensure creative aligns to business goals and product storytelling
  • Uphold and evolve Naadam's visual identity with consistency across every touchpoint

AI Integration & Creative Process

  • Actively explore and integrate AI tools (Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Runway, etc.) into concepting, moodboarding, and production workflows
  • Identify opportunities for AI to accelerate or elevate output without compromising quality or brand integrity
  • Stay ahead of emerging tools and translate them into practical, high-impact creative applications

Skills

  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects); Figma a plus
  • Strong experience in photo and video production, including on-set direction
  • Working knowledge of AI tools and interest in applying them to creative workflows
  • Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines
  • High attention to detail and organization
  • Clear communicator, comfortable giving and receiving feedback
  • Comfortable working a minimum of 3 days per week in our NYC office

Qualifications

  • 4–5 years of experience in an in-house or agency creative role
  • Experience in fashion, DTC, or e-commerce preferred
  • Proven experience directing shoots and managing production vendors
  • Background or interest in sustainability, materials, or supply chain storytelling is a plus
  • Motion design experience (After Effects or similar) preferred
  • Bachelor’s degree in Design, Marketing, or related field
