WeWork’s Art & Graphics team is looking for an Art Director with 5+ years of experience to lead the conception, definition, and execution of environmental graphics and art installations for our WeWork interior spaces. The Regional Art Director will be based in the regional WeWork HQ office, but correspond directly with the NYC-based Creative Studio to define and develop the look and feel of each project, and will be responsible for ensuring execution of that direction with a team of regional based designers.
As a member of the local Art & Graphics team, you will collaborate with WeWork design leadership, both Art & Graphics and Interior Design, to express the WeWork brand aesthetic through a local lens, ensuring that each WeWork space is fresh and unique, while inherently always WeWork.

From mood boards and conceptual brainstorming to vector illustrations of neon signs and hand painted murals, you can do it all.

We are dedicated to creating exceptional collaborative environments where our members will work better together. With WeWork locations on almost every continent, this is a great opportunity to be part of one of the fastest growing companies in the world.
