Art Director

You know the moment. It’s the first notes of that song you love, the intro to your favorite movie, or simply the sound of someone you love saying “hello.” It’s in these moments that sound matters most. 

At Bose, we believe sound is the most powerful force on earth. We’ve dedicated ourselves to improving it for nearly 60 years. And we’re passionate down to our bones about making whatever you’re listening to a little more magical. 

The Marketing team at Bose consists of passionate, bold, and music-loving storytellers. We tap into the magic of what makes Bose, BOSE, and through our marketing efforts, connect that magic with people who relate to our belief that sound is the most powerful force on earth.

Job Description

Bose has been a pioneer in the audio space for over fifty years. Addicted to innovation, we always dream of things that are better and we seek out ways to reach those things. Our marketing department is obsessed with our customer, and our cross-functional teams show up to deliver our brand’s promise to them, day in and day out. We’re on a relentless journey to never lose our imagination – it’s what keeps us going and what keeps us creative, and we hope you’ll join us in that pursuit.

Our Creative Department is a part of the global marketing team. We’re a collection of creative pioneers on a mission to unleash the potential of the brand.  And we’re looking for a talented Art Director to join us.

What describes you:

You love design.
You understand the power of design. You know it is more than moving pixels, it’s about moving people. Emotionally and behaviorally. We're looking for a thoughtful Art Director whose love of the craft goes beyond self-expression.

You’ve got ideas. 
Lots of them. You are always looking to find inspiration, insights, cultural or human truths, to shape those ideas. And you’re able to consider your ideas strategically and tactically, translating creative concepts into effective designs and brand values into compelling visual designs.

People fascinate you. 
You love people in all their diversity. You love collaboration and have strong social and communication skills that ensure you understand, relate to, and connect with our customers and your team.

You're left-brained and right-brained.
You know what it is to work within a brand design language and have the confidence to push the boundaries with a well-developed understanding of design fundamentals such as typography, interaction design and usability, layout, white space, aspect ratios, and color theory. Tying all of these elements together with enormous attention to detail.

You’re ever curious.
You have a contagious curiosity for all things digital - from trends to apps to emerging tech. You challenge yourself both personally and professionally. You ask great questions, listen deeply, and go wherever the answers might lead you.

You want to grow. 
You are always learning and progressing. You welcome informed debate and will passionately defend your decisions. You’re eager to learn things you don’t already know. And you’re open to failing. When you get it wrong, you learn from it and come out stronger.

You’re you. 

You’re confident that there’s something unique only you could bring to our team. 

What you bring:

About 4-8 years' of relevant experience. That said, your work is more important to us than your years.

• A good range of visual solutions and storytelling - across brands, digital platforms and mobile
• Proficiency in modern design tools (e.g. Figma)
• Experience establishing, maintaining, and improving a visual language
• Excellent presentation skills and the ability to clearly convey concepts
• Ability to create new visual solutions from scratch 
• Bonus points if you have strong motion design capabilities
   

If this sounds good, we’d love to hear from you! 
Please include a link to an online portfolio or a PDF with work samples along with your application. We hope to see work that’ll show us how you think, what you’re passionate about, and why we can’t wait to meet you.
