Art Director

What if your day job felt less like production and more like authorship? That's the Art Director reality DigitalBridge is building in Richmond, VA. Stack the numbers: $119,000 - $180,000, 12 years required, freelance schedule, and a director seat that grows as fast as you do.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain organized source files, asset libraries, and version histories
• Wring a campaign system from an one-line creative tagline
• Steer a director review toward decisions instead of opinions about decisions
• Borrow structure from film editing to fix a Mobile-First Design sequence that drags
• Drill into analytics to learn which creative actually moved the creative needle
• Write, edit, and shape copy that reflects DigitalBridge's voice and values
• Carve a distinct lane for DigitalBridge in a creative space crowded with sameness
• Fold accessibility into the first sketch, not the final QA pass

What You'll Bring

• A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
• Working familiarity with freelance schedules and team norms at DigitalBridge
• An eye for the joyfully-rigorous detail that separates fine from finished
• Sharp organizational skills and an ability to juggle multiple workstreams
• Customer-focused outlook with strong interpersonal skills
• Comfort being accountable for an outcome-focused outcome in a freelance role
• A Richmond grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly

We started DigitalBridge in a Richmond garage because the creative status quo deserved a craft-focused reckoning. We keep the Richmond, VA office quiet on Wednesdays so deep Heatmap Analysis work actually gets a fighting chance.

We set the base at $119,000 - $180,000 and build outward with growth coaching, a mentor, benefits, and hours you genuinely control.

We refreshed this Art Director listing this week to keep it current for applicants.
