Art Director (12 Months)

In this role, you'll own visual craft end-to-end; from shaping how a campaign idea comes to life in a pitch, to what it looks and feels like in market across paid social, YouTube, and beyond. Some days that means being on the tools yourself, and on others it means directing a shoot or guiding a team through a fast-turnaround sprint. The work spans quick social shoots at the Juniper office through to multi-month campaigns with celebrities, and everything in between. Working closely with the performance marketing team, the role is as much about what performs as what looks great — feeding creative data back into ideation and driving fast iterations across Juniper's weekly creative cycles. As the visual identity custodian for the growth team, this role is also the connective tissue between growth, product, web, and global brand, ensuring consistency across every touchpoint and acting as the growth team's key point of contact.
