From the kerning nobody notices to the concept everybody remembers, the Art Director at Volkswagen carries the whole spectrum. Net it out: freelance, $142,000 - $204,000, 10 years, ownership of the creative outcome, and a Volkswagen team that has your back.
Key Responsibilities
- Read the room mid-presentation and reorder the deck on the fly
- Interrogate a brief until the real ask underneath it surfaces
- Build and maintain a cohesive brand identity across every customer touchpoint
- Pressure-test headlines against real audience reactions before anything goes live
- Fold accessibility into the first sketch, not the final QA pass
- Seed fresh visual motifs that outlast a single $142,000 - $204,000-budget quarter
What You'll Bring
- Remote-friendly problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
- An eye for the deeply collaborative detail that separates fine from finished
- Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
- A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
- 12 or more years steering creative projects end to end
- A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email
- Experience thriving in a quietly-relentless, deadline-driven setting like Volkswagen
Volkswagen is a relentlessly-kind Brooklyn Park, MN studio where Information Architecture gets treated with the seriousness most companies reserve for marketing. Autonomy here comes with a partner: ask for help the moment you're stuck on Facilitation.
We frame the offer around growth: $142,000 - $204,000 today, mentorship now, benefits always, and the flexibility to live well in MN.
The search for an Art Director is in full swing, and we want to fill it soon.
