Manager, Creative Art Director - Retail Bank
Capital One is looking for an experienced designer with a history of creative leadership, strong results and a modern, elevated portfolio. This role will support our Retail Bank creative team, bringing our brand to life across different audiences, products and digital channels.
You know how to partner with creative directors to define the work, and art directors and copywriters to deliver the end product. You'll be responsible for contributing to creative development and design systems as a lead designer working with creative directors-as well as leading project teams as a creative lead yourself.

What you'll do:
Deliver design for a range of digital channels, including paid social, display, email, web and SEM, with a keen attention to detail and high bar for creative excellence.
Develop design systems, libraries, AI-tool integration, and guidance aligned to our brand standards to help internal and agency teams elevate and scale their work.
Lead and inspire teams of art directors, designers and copywriters (including a mix of full-time associates, contractors and agencies) to develop strategically-grounded, insight-driven creative-while influencing and elevating craft across the group.
Demonstrate expert knowledge of advertising and marketing trends and translate business intent into creative strategies and executions that market our products effectively.
Demonstrate an understanding of the intended audience, interpret market research and test results, and use findings to develop and optimize creative.
Build and maintain relationships with a network of partner groups (digital, marketing, operations, legal, etc.) to anticipate and proactively address obstacles and establish Brand Creative as a strategic thought partner.
Present and influence with a convincing and inspiring style to increase buy-in and open the door for new opportunities-both for your team and department.
