About Flight

‍We are a marketing, creative, and film agency, based in Oklahoma City. We’ve been in business for 10 years, bringing stories to life through Design, Film, Media, Strategy, and Web. We love what we do and we always try to make work the most enjoyable it can be! Working at Flight means someone always has your back, we’re truly a team and we thrive on collaboration. We actively encourage and hold ourselves and our teammates to a high standard of work. We foster positive attitudes and creativity. If hired, you can expect great coffee, memorable experiences, and the ability to push yourself professionally, to try new things, to learn, and to grow.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Art Director who can turn strategy into beautifully executed, brand-defining work. This is a hands-on role for a designer who can concept, design, and produce best-in-class creative from first idea through final delivery while elevating the quality and consistency of our visual output across every touchpoint.

You will lead design thinking on campaign-level creative, partner closely with writers, strategists, developers, and producers, and set a high bar for craft, clarity, and cohesion. You should be as comfortable building a campaign system as you are refining typography, layout, and production details.

What You Will Do

Create strong, branded design work from initial concept through final production across a wide range of deliverables, including:

• Digital and print advertising, out-of home, direct mail
• Brand identity and branding systems, including logos, visual guidelines, and brand toolkits
• Websites, landing pages, and digital experiences
• Brochures, magazines, white papers, corporate reports and other collateral

Lead the design and layout of campaign creative, particularly advertising-focused work across paid, owned, and earned channels.

Conceptualize and develop design solutions that clearly communicate the brand message while supporting business and marketing goals.

Collaborate with internal teams to understand project requirements, objectives, timelines, and constraints and translate them into effective creative solutions.

Ensure all work aligns with brand standards and maintains consistency across platforms, channels, and audiences.

Design and produce marketing materials including branded collateral, website elements, print assets, and presentations with a high level of craft and polish.

Present work clearly and confidently, articulating design rationale and responding thoughtfully to feedback.

Stay current on industry trends, emerging design standards, and best practices in graphic design and digital marketing.

Act as a creative leader within the team by setting examples for quality, process, and professionalism.

What We Are Looking For

• 5-7 years of experience in graphic design or art direction with a strong background in advertising-specific design.
• A portfolio that demonstrates conceptual thinking, campaign work, and exceptional execution across digital and print.
• A deep understanding of layout, typography, color, and visual systems.
• Experience designing for paid media, including digital ads, social campaigns, and out-of-home.
• Strong production skills and an understanding of how work moves from concept to real-world execution.
• The ability to manage multiple projects while maintaining a high bar for quality and attention to detail.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills.
• A designer who takes ownership, pushes the work forward, and cares deeply about craft and results.

Why This Role Matters

This Senior Art Director helps define what great looks like. You will influence not just individual projects, but the overall visual standard of the brand by shaping work that is thoughtful, strategic, and built to perform.

If you believe strong ideas deserve strong execution and great design comes from equal parts craft, clarity, and collaboration, we would love to see your work.
