_________________
Founded in 2012, Invisible North is a female-owned creative marketing agency headquartered in NYC with global reach. We are a team of culturally fluent strategists, creatives, designers and producers pushing the limits of possibility. Together we champion creativity and build thoughtful experiences and content that solve business problems and bring brands to life.
We are seeking an Art Director to join our team on a monthly retainer who brings both strong design fundamentals and a clear point of view. This person will act as a visual leader across a wide range of projects, helping establish mood, aesthetic direction, and design systems from pitch through production. The role spans graphic and spatial design and requires expertise in typography, layout, photo editing, and environmental/ experiential design. We value individuals who stay engaged with shifts in culture, design, and technology and can translate inspiration into compelling visual identities and experiences.
Additionally, this role will positively contribute to making Invisible North’s culture an envy of the industry, a studio that turns out jaw dropping creative and design and does so by upholding an inclusive, flexible, and giving work environment.
While our main office is located in DUMBO Brooklyn, we work as a distributed team with members reaching from Maine to LA, and everywhere in between. NYC residents would be expected to work from the office at least once per week.
There is a possibility that this role could convert to full time but that is not a guarantee.

At IN, we acknowledge that in order to be a forward-thinking, culture-led agency, we must actively foster and uplift a multitude of perspectives, backgrounds, and ways of thinking within our team. We seek to work with those who are a culture add, not just a culture fit.
