Art Director

Somewhere in Cincinnati is a designer who's outgrown their current sandbox, and Manufacturing Advantage built this Art Director role to be the bigger one. Earn $112,000 - $163,000, own outcomes, and grow your creative career with a team that values 11 years of real experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Pull through one team-oriented visual idea across web, print, and the Cincinnati, OH storefront
• Pair Organization craft with Brand Identity thinking to solve fuzzy creative problems
• Reverse-engineer a competitor's hit to understand the mechanic, not copy the look
• Drive bias-to-action content series from ideation to publication and promotion
• Craft layouts, typography, and imagery that elevate the Manufacturing Advantage experience
• Localize creative for the Cincinnati, OH market while preserving brand consistency
• Carve a distinct lane for Manufacturing Advantage in a creative space crowded with sameness
• Tighten a loose deck until every slide earns its place in the full-time pitch

What You'll Bring

• Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
• A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
• Familiarity with Manufacturing Advantage-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
• A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
• Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written

What sets Manufacturing Advantage apart is a human-first team in Cincinnati that treats every customer like a partner. We keep our process light so engineers can spend their energy on Adobe After Effects and Brand Identity, not bureaucracy.

We frame the offer around growth: $112,000 - $163,000 today, mentorship now, benefits always, and the flexibility to live well in OH.

As of right now, Manufacturing Advantage is still reading every resume that lands here.
