Senior Art Director

Who we are:

At VML, we are a beacon of innovation and growth in an ever-evolving world. Our heritage is built upon a century of combined expertise, where creativity meets technology, and diverse perspectives ignite inspiration. With the merger of VMLY&R and Wunderman Thompson, we have forged a new path as a growth partner that is part creative agency, part consultancy, and part technology powerhouse.

Our global family now encompasses over 30,000 employees across 150+ offices in 64 markets, each contributing to a culture that values connection, belonging, and the power of differences. Our expertise spans the entire customer journey, offering deep insights in communications, commerce, consultancy, CRM, CX, data, production, and technology. We deliver end-to-end solutions that result in revolutionary work.

We believe in the thought that if it doesn't exist, it can be created, and our senior art directors believe a great idea is just the beginning. Because they have the design chops to take it to the next level-and transform that great idea into a visual masterpiece. And then present it in a way that inspires a room full of clients. If that sounds like you, we need to talk.

We know this is a great place, and others know it too. In fact, we've been voted as one of the 25 best places to work in America three times and have partnered with brands around the world. And with two decades under our belt, you'd be correct to guess our trophy case is pretty full as well.
