WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

  • We’re looking for an Art Director / Creative Director to define, protect, and elevate Incard’s brand for the next century.
  • This role owns Incard’s creative vision end-to-end from brand foundations and storytelling to product consistency, marketing campaigns, offline experiences, and flagship events.
  • You’ll act as the guardian of Incard’s core values and creative standards, ensuring everything we ship product, website, content, campaigns, and events — feels unmistakably Incard.
  • This role is ideal for a senior creative who has worked on iconic, long-term brands and knows how to balance taste, restraint, and ambition.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

OWN THE INCARD CREATIVE VISION

  • Set and enforce creative standards for typography, motion, imagery, tone, and layout
  • Review and approve key creative outputs to maintain a high bar

PRODUCT & EXPERIENCE COLLABORATION

  • Partner closely with Product, Design, and Engineering to ensure brand alignment inside the product
  • Influence how Incard feels, not just how it looks
  • Ensure product experiences reflect Incard’s positioning: clarity, power, and confidence

CAMPAIGNS, EVENTS & FLAGSHIP MOMENTS

  • Lead creative direction for major campaigns, launches, and brand moments
  • Own the creative vision for offline events, founder dinners, yearly awards, and Incard flagship experiences
  • Ensure campaigns feel timeless, not trend-driven

AGENCY & PARTNER MANAGEMENT

  • Select, brief, and manage creative agencies and production partners
  • Set clear creative direction while giving agencies room to do their best work
  • Maintain consistency across internal and external creative teams

CREATIVE LEADERSHIP & CULTURE

  • Act as a creative reference point across the company
  • Mentor designers, creatives, and collaborators
  • Help build a strong internal culture of taste, craft, and clarity

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

  • 10+ years of experience in Art Direction, Creative Direction, or Brand Leadership
  • Proven experience working on iconic, global brands or large-scale creative platforms

  • Experience working across product, marketing, and brand ecosystems
  • Proven ability to lead agencies and senior creative partners
  • Clear communicator who can articulate vision and give precise creative feedback

NICE TO HAVE

  • Experience shaping brands at scale or through multiple growth phases
  • Background in both digital and offline creative experiences
  • Experience working closely with founders or executive leadership

MINDSET WE LOOK FOR

  • Brand-builder mentality — you think in decades, not quarters
  • Strong point of view with disciplined restraint
  • Obsession with consistency, clarity, and craft
  • Low ego, high standards, and deep respect for collaboration
  • Comfortable saying “no” to protect the brand
  • Startup DNA — ambition, ownership, and accountability

BENEFITS
