Job Description
The Art Director brings visual ideas to life. As Art Director you will design, style, and execute creative visions for a variety of media and marketing platforms. The ideal candidate will be social media savvy–we’re looking to create content that turns music stories into inspiring social conversations with audiences globally.
The Opportunity
The Coda Collection aspires to bring to life the stories that surround the songs that we love, and in turn deepen the connection between artists and fans. Across our Prime Video Channel, website, and iOS app, we have created a unique experience that combines a curated collection of more than 180 films that bring to life the most meaningful moments in music and surrounds these films with immersive, custom editorial from the most talented music writers in the world.
Together, this experience aspires to do nothing less than transform the way in which people experience the power of music. In just a matter of months, we are off to a fast start: rapid subscriber growth, hit films such as What Drives Us (directed by Dave Grohl), and over 500 pieces of press coverage.
We are now seeking to build upon this momentum, and to help propel this growth we are looking for an Art Director.
The Role
We are looking for an Art Director with a unique passion for music and an instinct for beautiful, engaging content. The full-time position will be focused on elevating our social platforms by turning music films, music stories, and music events into dynamic social media, plus assisting the greater design team in crafting and polishing our brand and reach. You will have the benefit of working on content for bands you know and love…or bands you will grow to love.
Our office is “based” in Chicago but remote (meaning open to candidates from anywhere).
