Do You Mind?
At MindHandle we believe great stories are infinitely shareable, wickedly powerful, and the best way to move human beings on an emotional level. We’re looking for a
talented art director with excellent design and concepting skills to elevate our clients’ work as a full-time, in-house art director. This position will have the flexibility
to work remotely, with occasional in-office meetings and work sessions (mmm, snacks & high-rise views).

digital channels like email, social media, and web assets (also including print, presentations, video, and more). You’ll work closely with brand management,
program management, content strategy and creative directors to brainstorm ideas, create concepts, and develop layouts.
You are the eyes of the agency’s creative product. You have the vision and the skills to bring big ideas to life, visually. You’re a problem solver, but you’re also a problem
