Junior Art Director

Overview

Junior Art Director

• Why this role exists
• ------------------------
• Justlife is the on-demand home services platform helping people across the UAE & KSA get their time back.
• Our marketing reaches a fast-growing audience every day, and our creative output now moves faster than our design capacity.
• We're hiring a Junior Art Director to help us produce high-volume, high-quality work — and to grow into a designer whose taste and ideas shape the brand, not just keep up with it.
• You'll report to the Creative Marketing Manager and work as an individual contributor inside a small, skilled team that ships daily.
• This role moves fast and ships a lot — throughput is a core expectation — but we hire people who treat speed and craft as the same discipline, not a trade-off.
• What you'll own
• -------------------
• Produce a high volume of visual assets across marketing campaigns, CRM, social, performance ads, in-app banners, and brand communication — at speed, without dropping quality or consistency.
• Take briefs from concept to clean final files: research references, explore directions, design, adapt across formats, and deliver production-ready assets.
• Use AI tools as a core part of your workflow — research, ideation, image generation, production — to move faster and explore more, without outsourcing your design judgment.
• Partner with marketing, product, and other teams: understand the brief, ask the right questions, deliver clear visual solutions.
• Protect brand consistency across every touchpoint. Quality, accuracy, and on-time delivery are non-negotiable.
• Give and take feedback well, learn fast, and jump in wherever the team needs design help.
• What great looks like in 6 months
• -------------------------------------
• You handle a significant share of day-to-day marketing design independently, delivering high-quality assets on schedule and consistently fast.
• You know the Justlife brand inside out and apply it confidently across channels.
• You use AI tools fluently to increase your speed and range.
• You communicate clearly with stakeholders across the business.
• You've started bringing ideas to the table — spotting directions, suggesting references, offering solutions instead of only executing.
• How we measure success
• --------------------------
• **Throughput:** consistently high volume of assets delivered on time, every time.
• **Turnaround:** creative requests move faster because of how you work.
• **Quality:** visual consistency holds across all touchpoints, even at speed.
• **Independence:** you manage day-to-day tasks with minimal supervision.
• **Communication:** clear, proactive updates with team and stakeholders.
• **Ideas:** you contribute creative direction, not just execution.

Must-Haves

• ---------------
• A portfolio that demonstrates strong fundamentals: layout, typography, composition, branding, and visual consistency across a range of work.
• Strong design eye and an instinct for what "on-brand" and "high-quality" mean in practice.
• Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Comfortable using AI tools for research, ideation, image generation, and workflow speed.
• Ability to produce high-quality work at volume and pace in a fast-moving marketing environment.
• Good English: you understand briefs, ask sharp questions, and explain design decisions clearly.
• 2–4 years of design experience.
• Proactive, coachable, and fast-learning.
• Bachelor's degree in design or a related field preferred (a strong portfolio outweighs formal education).

Nice-To-Haves

• -------------------
• Motion graphics or basic animation for social, CRM, and campaign assets.
• Strong grasp of social formats, trends, and what makes content visually engaging.
• Video editing, motion templates, or turning statics into animated formats.
