What are the responsibilities and job description for the Art Director position at Grüns?
We're so happy you're here! Thank you for checking our job out and we hope to have the chance to meet you in our interview process!
About The Role
Grüns is seeking a visionary Art Director to lead our creative efforts across digital, packaging, retail, and experiential marketing. In this role, you will own the creative process from concept to execution, develop compelling brand narratives, and ensure visual consistency across all touch points. You will collaborate cross-functionally with product, growth, and operations teams to drive impactful storytelling and elevate our brand presence. This role will report directly to our Chief Marketing Officer.
This role is part of our remote HQ! We are open to speaking with candidates from all locations, but candidates based in the Los Angeles area are preferred. We have a fully remote, high-trust work environment - and also come together on a bi-annual basis for amazing off-sites where we can connect IRL.
In this role, you will:
At Grüns, we believe that foundational nutrition should be simple and convenient for everyone. We're dedicated to bringing comprehensive and real nutrition to you through our gummies, formulated from 60 nutrient-dense and whole-food ingredients. Simply enjoy a grab-and-go snack pack of gummies daily whenever fits best in your schedule and wherever life takes you.
Like you, we were disappointed. There's an infinite number of "nutrition" companies, all focused on what's best for them — not what's best for you. Hundreds of products to sell you on, low-quality ingredients, and small nutrient doses. We've seen it all.
So we decided it was time to fix it. No more choking on and popping pills like a pharmacy. No more clean-up and disgust from gross powders. And no more cobbling together handfuls to dozens of supplements. Grüns is comprehensive nutrition, made convenient and delicious.
What we care about...
Autonomy: Only the best work at Grüns. We're all confident, independent leaders. We are proactive. We find opportunities for improvement. Don't ask; just do. When our actions impact other areas of the organization, we communicate with those functional leaders to ensure connectivity.
Growth: We love to take on new challenges, learn new things, and express interest in new functions. "I've never done this before" is not an excuse; it's an opportunity.
Community: We care deeply about each other. We're good humans and provide support wherever we can. We care, not just professionally but personally as well.
Compensation & Perks:
For every role, we aim to have highly competitive compensation and opportunity for impact and career growth.
Everyone at Grüns works hard, but we believe in wellness and balance too. We have super strong benefits coverage -- for you and your family, generous PTO, free Grüns subscriptions, and a few more perks centered around health and well-being that we can't wait to tell you about!
