Design DirectorRate: 70-75/hr
Location: LA
Our client, a growing name in the luxury CPG space is looking for a Design Director/Art Director. This is a temp to hire opportunity that is hybrid (Tues-Thurs) in the LA area.
THE ROLE: As the Design Director, you'll play a pivotal role in crafting the visual identity of consumer promotional and retail products for prestigious global brands. Collaborating closely with our product architects and clients, you'll unleash your creative genius to deliver extraordinary solutions. Your realm of influence will extend across various creative and supply chain channels, where you'll deftly manage multiple projects and tight deadlines. The expertise you bring in physical product and production techniques will be instrumental in guiding our China and Asia-Pacific factories to breathe life into remarkable concepts.
We're looking for a unique blend of a thinker and a doer: someone who’s as comfortable with brainstorming the next big idea as they are with rolling up their sleeves to design something breathtaking themselves. Though we're a small team, our aspirations are sky-high, aiming to create memorable experiences for our global clients like Tom Ford, Maker's Mark, and Jameson.
The candidate must be able to design. This is not a position built to solely direct and guide. They must have great design skills and be capable of doing design work themselves.

- 5+ years of proven graphic design expertise, honing your skills with a focus on retail, consumer brands, and marketing campaigns.
