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.
