Key Art Design Director - International Streaming Platform (3 month+ contract)

A leading global streaming platform is looking for an experienced Key Art Design Director to lead and strengthen its in-house Key Art capability.

Working across an international slate of film and television content, you’ll establish the creative vision and quality standards for world-class campaign imagery—from initial concept and shoots through to final delivery.

Key responsibilities:

  • Lead the development of Key Art campaigns across multiple genres and international markets.
  • Define and champion visual standards, ensuring creative excellence and brand consistency.
  • Direct photography and motion shoots, overseeing on-set execution and post-production.
  • Collaborate with creative, marketing, localisation, production and content teams.
  • Help build and scale a high-performing in-house Key Art team, including its workflows, tools and processes.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level creatives, identifying development and training opportunities.
  • Champion the responsible use of emerging technologies, including Generative AI.
  • Lead creative reviews and confidently present work to senior stakeholders.

About you:

  • Significant senior creative or design leadership experience within entertainment, streaming or a leading creative agency.
  • Deep expertise in Key Art, campaign design and visual storytelling for film or television.
  • An outstanding portfolio spanning multiple content genres and formats.
  • Strong experience directing photography and motion shoots.
  • Expert knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Photoshop and Illustrator.
  • Comfortable managing multiple high-profile projects in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience building teams, developing creative talent and scaling internal capabilities.
  • Technologically fluent, with knowledge of Generative AI tools, UX/UI principles and HTML.

Experience within a large media, entertainment or technology organisation—alongside knowledge of post-production platforms such as Frame.io—would be particularly valuable.
