Art Director

Bring the weird ideas, the ones you usually self-edit, because the Art Director chair at TechInnovate was made for the version of you that doesn't flinch. Bring the sharp-but-gentle energy and 11 years; TechInnovate brings $108,000 - $157,000, a Des Moines base, and room to grow into more.

Key Responsibilities

• Run the critique that makes junior creative work braver, not safer
• Coordinate with external agencies, freelancers, and print vendors
• Prototype interactions in Adobe Illustrator and refine them through usability testing
• Build the proudly-imperfect pitch deck that wins the $108,000 - $157,000 account in the room
• Pull through one wildly-collaborative visual idea across web, print, and the Des Moines, IA storefront

What You'll Bring

• A Des Moines grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly
• Sharp organizational skills and an ability to juggle multiple workstreams
• Demonstrated Accessibility (WCAG) expertise in a fast-moving creative environment
• Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny
• An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent

TechInnovate is the values-led Des Moines company that turned a niche creative obsession into something the whole IA now uses. We value clear writing and honest conversation over status games and politics.

You get $108,000 - $157,000, a growth runway, a mentor, full benefits, and a flexible Des Moines, IA setup, no fine print, no catch.

We are filling this Art Director seat now, with onboarding planned for the near term.
