Description

JOB DESCRIPTION Design Lead / Art Director (IC Role) – ACKO (Creative Team) Do you turn briefs into bold, beautiful designs that actually work? Do you thrive in fast-paced environments where craft, clarity, and speed matter? Do you know how to design for the feed, the ad, and the brand — without compromising on any? If yes, weʼve got the perfect role for you. At ACKO, weʼre building an agile, in-house creative team with design at the center of our storytelling. We're looking for a Design Lead / Art Director to bring a high standard of visual craft across all our creative — from social media posts to campaign films, product launches to brand ads. This is a high-impact, hands-on individual contributor role. Youʼll work closely with the content team, video editors, brand managers, and content strategists to own the visual expression of ACKO across platforms. What Youʼll Do: Conceptualise and design high-quality creative for Print, digital campaigns, performance ads, social content, and brand communications. Translate ideas and briefs into cohesive visual narratives that are bold, clear, and platform-appropriate. Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders and creative teammates to ensure visual consistency across all touch-points. Create storyboards, mockups, and design assets for motion or video-led campaigns (with support from editors and motion designers). Ensure every asset follows ACKOʼs brand guidelines, while also pushing the visual language forward with new ideas. Bring a craft-first, detail-obsessed mindset, but know when good is good enough to move fast. Why Join Us? Own the design language for one of Indiaʼs most innovative insurance brands. Create across formats - campaigns, performance ads, social content, brand moments, experimental work. Work in a flat, fast, friendly team that prioritizes ideas, ownership, and action. Grow with creative freedom. We care more about what you make than how you make it. To apply, share your portfolio and a few lines on what kind of work excites you creatively. Bonus: link to something youʼve designed that you think defines your style. Letʼs create work thatʼs as smart as it is stunning. EXPERTISE AND QUALIFICATIONS Who You Are: Strong Portfolio: You've created design work that's smart, polished, and creatively ambitious. Conceptual Thinker: You donʼt just make things look pretty - you bring ideas and structure to every design you touch. Platform-Native: You understand what works visually on Print Media, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Performance ads. Hands-On Doer: You love rolling up your sleeves and love designing, day in and day out. Creative Collaborator: Youʼre a great team player who communicates ideas visually and verbally with clarity. Tool-Ready: Proficient in design and layout tools (Adobe Suite, Figma etc.). Bonus if you're comfortable with gen-AI Tools/Video/motion workflows.
