ABOUT COLLINA DIGITAL
Collina Digital is a growing full-service marketing agency focused on building brands that perform. We help clients expand their business through smart strategy, high-quality creative, and consistent execution across every channel. We’re looking for a methodical, customer-focused Junior Art Director who loves craft, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and is excited to grow under the direction of senior creatives.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
1) Design brand-right communications for clients
• Produce polished design work that aligns with established brand guidelines, layouts, and creative direction.
• Translate brand standards into consistent deliverables across print and digital.
• Learn each client’s visual system quickly and apply it with accuracy and care.
2) Support email marketing and CRM creative
• Design on-brand email layouts, modules, and supporting graphics (banners, headers, product callouts, etc.).
• Collaborate with strategy and account teams to ensure emails are clear, accurate, and optimized for performance.
• Prepare clean, organized design files for production and handoff.
3) Execute cohesive multi-channel campaigns
• Assist in developing campaign creative across web, paid media, organic social, landing pages, and print/collateral.
• Maintain visual consistency across touchpoints while adapting designs for different formats and specs.
• Take feedback well and iterate quickly without sacrificing quality.
4) Create social and paid media assets
• Design scroll-stopping creative for Meta, Google Display, and other platforms — including simple motion and short-form video.
• Build variations for testing (sizes, messaging, formats) while staying on-brand.
• Stay current on design best practices and platform creative specs (less trend-chasing, more effectiveness and clarity).
5) Communicate clearly with the team and clients
• Work closely with account, strategy, and creative leads to hit deadlines and follow direction.
• Participate in reviews, ask smart questions, and communicate status proactively.
• Maintain professional polish in client-facing work and internal collaboration.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
• Brand discipline + craft: Strong design fundamentals — typography, layout, hierarchy, spacing, and color.
• Detail-driven production mindset: Files are organized, aligned, correctly versioned, and export-ready.
• Fast learner: Can absorb brand standards and creative direction, then execute accurately.
• Flexible designer: Comfortable working across a mix of clients, industries, and deliverable types.
• Clear communicator: Professional, collaborative, and responsive — especially under deadlines.
QUALIFICATIONS
• Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, or related field (or equivalent portfolio).
• 1–4 years of experience in a design role (agency experience a plus). Level and compensation within the range depend on experience.
• Proficiency in Figma, Claude, and Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
• Simple motion graphics or short-form video skills (After Effects, Premiere, or CapCut) strongly preferred.
• Email/CRM platform familiarity is a plus (Klaviyo, Mailchimp, HubSpot, etc.).
• Comfortable using AI-assisted design tools responsibly within a professional workflow.
COMPENSATION + BENEFITS
$45,000–$55,000 based on experience, with 401(k), health, dental, and vision insurance, paid time off, and a flexible schedule. This role is built to grow — strong performers move toward mid-level Art Director responsibilities (and compensation) as they take on client ownership.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
• Must be able to work on-site at our St. Louis office full-time.
