Job Description
Uber has already made more than 500 cities around the world better places to live and work by
providing superior transportation choices and greater economic opportunity. But this is just the
beginning, and we’re looking for top creative design talent to create campaign and concepts based on strategies that move the world.
If you have the right stuff to join our creative team, you’ll work among other exceptionally talented creatives in a fast-paced, rapidly growing, highly collaborative environment. From product launches to marketing campaigns, you will have the opportunity to shape the EMEA Uber brand.
We are deeply user-centric and believe we can innovate our way past any roadblock. The challenges we tackle require thorough experimentation and execution, bold ideas, obsession with pursuing perfection, fearlessness and optimism in the face of uncertainty, creative problem-solving, and tenacity in taking projects to the finish line.
We might be a good match if...
Your concepts mean business.
Whether is it a pitch or the final campaign you know the audience and how to visually connect with them. You approach every brief with fresh eyes. Avoiding familiar solutions, create and inspire workthat is distinctive, effective and truly remarkable.
You iterate quickly and respect deadlines.
When it’s time to get locked in, you know how to move fast while still being meticulous and
conscientious in your work. You know a first concept is only a starting point, so you work through
multiple rounds efficiently — thinking all the way through the experience, developing a solid
foundation, tinkering, collecting feedback, and refining. You do whatever it takes to keep projects on track while keeping messaging on target.
You are equal parts content strategist and designer.
Beautiful designs and creative concepts aren’t all you care about. You’re passionate about developing sound strategy, determining message hierarchies, and developing user experiences that communicate exactly the right message to the right person at the right time. You don’t sacrifice clarity or simplicity to protect your own precious gems.
You fight the good fight, and you fight fair.
Selling your work and ideas is one of your most impressive skills. You defend your decisions and push for what you think is right for the business objectives and audience needs, using logic and evidence rather than opinion or emotion to make your case. You do this all with a collaborative spirit that puts the good of the team ahead of your own ego — listening closely to other viewpoints and sincerely considering all feedback, then picking your battles wisely and employing storytelling techniques to win people over.
Your creative eye brings to life beautiful ideas.
Art Directors play essential roles in the strategy, conception and design of beautiful ideas, products and services. Exceptional design aesthetic and solid typography skills is what bridge the gap between brand guidelines and campaign concept. You’re skilled at translating features into benefits, crafting content with emotional resonance, and figuring out how to make them stick.
You know the medium matters.
When you concept for content, you think about how it will be consumed. You understand how desktop vs. mobile, print vs. digital, and push vs. pull affects the way people read and retain information.
You’re skilled at visualizing the same story across multiple channels in a way that’s integrated yet
optimized for every touch point.
