Description & Requirements

Bloomberg LP has built a significant media business spanning television and OTT, digital, magazine, podcast and radio, and live event platforms across the globe, and Bloomberg delivers data and news that markets depend on.

What is the future of storytelling in podcasts, social videos, immersive articles and longform documentaries? How can data clarify and create new perspectives? Where are the new ideas – and people –shaping our global future? What does the future of finance, the future of work, the future of cities, and the future of health look like?

At Bloomberg Media Studios, we confront these questions every day. As the global studio at the heart of Bloomberg Media, we develop creative solutions for brands that leverage Bloomberg’s mission, intelligence, and equity for Bloomberg’s core audiences. We are passionate about developing innovative ideas and committed to working for a company that places purpose at the centre of its business, and understands that creativity depends on a healthy, balanced, and supportive work environment.

We are searching for a full-time Senior Art Director for our Dubai studio, skilled in conceptual thinking, storytelling, and exceptional graphic design with experience producing work in the branded content space.

We’ll trust you to:

• Conceive creative ideas that sit at the intersection of client objectives and audience needs using Bloomberg’s proprietary data and insights

• Function as both an individual contributor as well as a director when working with our network of production partners and freelance resources

• Proactively tap into your network and seek out new talent to grow the studio’s freelance network

You’ll need to have:

• 7-10 years of experience in design with a strong emphasis on design and typography, visual storytelling and social work experience preferred

• Expertise in crafting branded storytelling across multiple touchpoints (video, print, podcasts, print, experiential) and corresponding social promotional campaigns

• Expert level proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and web design software (Sketch, Figma, or Adobe XD)

• Highly collaborative approach with our team of writers, video editors and animators

• Fluency across deliverables that fit with a cross-channel approach (style frames and/or storyboards for video, web designs for immersive experiences etc.)

• Impeccable design portfolio demonstrating a mix of digital and video-based storytelling

• Ability to provide timely, helpful feedback to improve creative, processes, and to keep work on budget and schedule

• Strong time management skills that ensure the ability to work across multiple projects simultaneously
