We're looking for a Senior Art Director to support the creative development and execution of growing
portfolio of sponsorships, events, hospitality programs, and brand activations.
This role will partner closely with our in-house creative team to concept, design, and execute high-visibility experiences

customer activations. The ideal candidate brings a strong background in experiential marketing, environmental design,

memorable brand experiences that bring our brand to life in the real world.
We're looking for someone who is naturally curious, asks thoughtful questions, and enjoys collaborating across
disciplines to create the best possible work.
