Sullivan is seeking an experienced Art Director to join our growing digital team. As a communications strategy and design firm with 20 marketing and creative professionals, we offer a hands-on environment where you can get involved at every stage of a digital project.

Who you are
You have a minimum of 5+ years of experience designing in the digital space, and understand the limitations and possibilities of designing for the Web or other online media. You balance highly creative and conceptual thinking with sensitivity to user experience and usability. You are detail-oriented, and have a deep understanding of typography, color, composition, page structure, and interaction design. Complex displays of information such as financial dashboards interest you, and you have experience simplifying interfaces while keeping them engaging and interactive.
