About the Role

Gabb is hiring an Art Director to own the visual direction of the brand across every place a family meets us — product, packaging, web, social, email, paid media, and retail. You will set the creative standard, lead the design team, and turn brand strategy into work that earns parents’ trust on sight.

This is a builder’s seat. You will bring order and ambition to the creative systems supporting growth. You will define the visual language, establish the workflows and templates that keep quality high as volume scales, and raise the bar on every asset that carries the Gabb name. You will balance brand integrity with performance — creative that looks unmistakably like Gabb and moves the numbers that matter.

You will report to Sr Director of Marketing & Creative and partner across marketing, product, and retail. You will lead a team of designers, mentor their craft, and stay close enough to the work to shape it directly. The right person is a brand steward and a hands-on creative leader — equally comfortable defining a system and refining a single frame.
