Art Director in Sausalito, California at Butler Shine Stern & Partners

We're not here to take ourselves too seriously — but we take our work seriously. At BSSP, we believe the best ideas come from people who are genuinely curious, a little restless, and never fully satisfied with "good enough."

We're looking for a Junior Art Director who sees the world a bit differently. Maybe you've got a sketchbook full of weird concepts, a folder of passion projects you can't stop tinkering with, or a way of looking at a brief and immediately seeing what no one else did. You bring the point of view — we'll give you the space to develop it.

Here, you'll collaborate with writers, strategists, and creatives who care deeply about craft and aren't afraid to have fun along the way. Expect honest feedback, real opportunities, and a culture that'd rather you swing big and miss than play it safe and shrug.

If you're hungry to learn, ready to make things, and you've got an interesting story to tell — we want to hear it.
