Overview

We are looking for a Group Head – Art & Video who will act as the visual thinking engine of the agency. This role goes beyond creating compelling designs or videos — it requires strong conceptual thinking, creative leadership, and the ability to guide teams while also being hands-on when needed.

The ideal candidate should be equally comfortable operating as an Individual Contributor (IC) and stepping into a leadership role, driving both visual excellence and team growth. This is a leadership position for someone who leads by example, not authority.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead visual thinking and creative direction across multiple brands and campaigns.
• Translate briefs into strong visual concepts, design systems, and video storytelling approaches.
• Conceptualize and execute across formats including social media creatives, digital ads, brand films, reels, motion graphics, and long-form video content.
• Act as an Individual Contributor on key brands, pitches, and high-priority deliverables.
• Manage, mentor, and grow a team of designers, DOPs, video editors, and motion artists.
• Ensure consistency in visual identity, design language, and output quality across all deliverables.
• Collaborate closely with Copy, Strategy, Account Management, and Production teams.
• Participate in client discussions, presentations, and creative walkthroughs.
• Provide clear, constructive feedback to elevate the team's creative output.
• Contribute to new business pitches and internal creative initiatives.
• Must be comfortable with leveraging and guiding the team on GenAI tools for design, video, and content creation.
• Stay updated with industry trends, platform formats, visual styles, and evolving video consumption behavior.

Requirements

• 4–6 years of experience in a creative, digital, or advertising agency.
• Strong foundation in visual design, art direction, and video storytelling.
• Proven ability to think conceptually and execute high-quality visual content.
• Prior experience leading or mentoring a creative team.
• Proficiency in design and video tools (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Premiere Pro, After Effects, or equivalent).
• Understanding of videography principles, including composition, lighting, audio, and camera operation.
• Strong understanding of platform-specific formats (Instagram, YouTube, digital ads, etc.).
• Excellent communication, presentation, and storytelling skills.
• Ability to handle multiple brands and deadlines in an agency setup.
• High level of ownership, accountability, and creative curiosity.
• Strong interpersonal skills and leadership temperament.
