Art Director

About the Role

Manufacturing Advantage needs an Art Director who pairs sharp Style Guides chops with a real instinct for what makes people stop and look. Few creative roles let you own the whole thing end to end; this director one in Baton Rouge does, and it pays $102,000 - $158,000.

Key Responsibilities

• Borrow structure from film editing to fix an Information Architecture sequence that drags
• Support director designers through critique, mentorship, and shared best practices
• Curate and art-direct a consistent visual feed across owned channels
• Wireframe the unglamorous Design Thinking screens with the same care as the hero shot
• Frame each design decision in terms the Baton Rouge, LA sales floor can repeat
• Sketch early concepts that give Manufacturing Advantage campaigns a recognizable visual signature
• Mine customer interviews for the one phrase that becomes the whole campaign
• Set guardrails loose enough for director creatives to surprise you inside them

What You'll Bring

• A collaborator's reflex to share credit and absorb blame
• Clarity of thought that shows up in tidy documentation
• The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
• Proven track record delivering results as an Art Director
• A communicator who can disagree without making it personal

At its core, Manufacturing Advantage is a maker-minded bet that Baton Rouge, LA can out-build anyone when it comes to Cultural Awareness. At Manufacturing Advantage you're trusted with the why, not just handed the what.

Step in at $102,000 - $158,000, climb with structured growth, lean on a mentor, and take the flexibility Manufacturing Advantage is genuinely proud of.
