We're Hiring:

Art Director

FreshBooks is looking for an Art Director in one. We actually have an art director but we're looking for a second one. Why? Because we believe the best creative work comes from peers who challenge each other and build things together. You believe the same thing. You don't even like the term director, you actually prefer to be called a designer because you live to design elegant solutions to complex creative problems. You have a zeal for learning, especially about software product design, and you love to share. You are a humble and nurturing teacher who helps everyone on your team get better at what they do. Quite simply you're a gosh darn creative sage.

Things we'll expect you to do

• Work closely with our other Art Director to build and maintain our creative vision and our brand
• Solve complex problems creatively and align them with business strategy in a way that drives results
• Be a hands-on and nurturing collaborator, create key design assets for both our product and marketing campaigns
• Work collaboratively with Designers, Marketers and Executives across the company to make creative vision a reality
• Facilitate brainstorming sessions with teams large and small to build the creative capacity of the entire company
• NOTE: We do not expect you to be able to write HTML/CSS or any code whatsoever, but we consider it a plus

Things that will help you be successful:

• Experience as a Senior Designer and/or Art Director with an amazing and up-to-date portfolio to back it up
• A desire to physically execute on projects, and work with others on everything you lead
• Affinity for, or experience working with, small businesses
• You love software product design, and are up to date on the latest trends in online, mobile and desktop software design.
• You are a user of modern web applications like FreshBooks and have a solid understanding of the constraints and benefits of online subscription services
• Experience with Direct Marketing, Direct Response, Online Marketing, and brand campaigns
• You have worked with Marketing organizations in the past, and have a solid understanding of how to collaborate with them for the best possible results
• Experience with Paid, Social, and Earned Media and campaigns that span multiple platforms for example, from print to websites, to Facebook, to mobile
• Solid copywriting skills are a huge plus
• Post Graduate Education or equivalent preferred
• You have no ego about your work, and just want to do what's right for customers and the company
