Inclusion in Hiring

GALE is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status. Please consider applying for this role even if you do not meet 100% of the suggested requirements, and/or if you have gaps in your resume.

What you'll do

We are currently seeking a Digital Art Director to join our creative team on one of our digital apps focused client accounts. Working alongside copywriters, designers, and creative leadership, you'll concept and craft digital-first work across social, display, CRM, and in-app channels — work that's as sharp strategically as it is visually. You'll help shape how one of the world's most recognizable brands shows up in feeds, inboxes, and on screens every day.

Who You Are

Who You Are

  • 5–7 years of experience as an art director or senior designer at an agency or in-house creative team, with a focus on digital
  • A portfolio of conceptual, brand-driven digital work — social-first campaigns, CRM, and performance creative that's beautiful and effective
  • Expert in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite; motion skills (After Effects) a strong plus
  • Deep fluency in digital and social platform best practices, specs, and formats
  • Experience art directing photo/video shoots and working with production partners
  • A collaborative teammate who takes feedback well and gives it thoughtfully
  • Comfortable juggling multiple workstreams in a fast-paced, high-volume account
  • Experience on large, multi-channel brands (rideshare, delivery, tech, or lifestyle a plus)

Nice to Have

What You Will Do

  • Concept, design, and art direct digital campaigns across paid social, display, email/CRM, in-app, and web
  • Translate Uber's brand system into thumb-stopping, platform-native creative — knowing what works on TikTok vs. Meta vs. programmatic
  • Partner with copywriters to develop integrated campaign ideas from brief through final delivery
  • Oversee and elevate the work of designers and studio artists, giving clear, constructive creative direction
  • Present work internally and to clients with confidence and a strong point of view
  • Collaborate with strategy, media, and production teams to ensure creative performs against business goals
  • Maintain brand consistency and craft standards across high-volume, fast-turn deliverables
  • Stay on top of platform trends, formats, and emerging creative tech, bringing new ideas to the team proactively

Our Commitment to Inclusion

Our Code of Conduct, Human Resources policies and executive investment in inclusion further support and protect GALE’s inclusive workplace.

Our Hiring Process

We want you to be just as discerning in making your next career move as we are finding great talent to join our team. Our interview process generally consists of the following stages to allow you to meet a range of people from various disciplines and domains. You will be assessed at each stage before being invited to move to the next.

  • Phone screen with a member of our Talent Acquisition Team
  • Interview with the Hiring Manager, who will generally be your manager.
  • Where relevant for the role, a technical aptitude test. (i.e. for domains in technology, data science, etc.)
  • Interview with a member of our team from a different Department than yours.
  • Interview with a member of our Leadership Team.

Please discuss with our recruiters if you require any accommodations throughout the process to help enable a smooth interview (i.e. accessibility in terms of location, timing, method, etc.,...).

Compensation

In order to comply with equal pay and salary transparency laws in various locations, we believe the target compensation for this role is $90,000 to $120,000 yearly. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, qualifications, job performance, level of experience, location, and business needs.
