Description
In short
We’re looking for a visionary and hands-on leader in Art Direction to oversee the creative output of On’s most essential visual brand touchpoints, brand assets. From e-commerce and product storytelling to seasonal lookbooks and cross-category campaigns. With a keen eye for both emotional impact and commercial performance, you’ll guide a team of talented art directors to shape how the world sees On at every step.
With equal parts strategic foresight and hands-on creative leadership, you’ll guide a team of Art Directors and Visual Creators to build emotionally resonant and commercially impactful brand assets.
