Job Description

About the Job...

We're looking for an Associate Creative Director with an art background who is ready to stop being “almost there.”

You're past the part where potential is enough. You believe in your work and you're learning how to make a room believe in it too. You know the difference between a concept that will win in a meeting, and an idea you’ll actually be proud of having made.

You love doing the work yourself and you can't stop. You're developing the instinct to look at someone else's work and make it better without making it yours. This job is the bridge between having the best ideas every time, and being a sherpa for the best ideas even when they didn’t come from you. 

You'll have CDs who have been where you are, and want to help you get to where they are. You’ll lead teams. Love teams. Get in fights. Have the best days of your career and some of the hardest ones, sometimes on the same day. 

We're employee-owned. When you join, you have a real stake in what we become. You won’t be an employee, you’ll be an owner. If you don’t know the difference yet, that’s ok, you will once you walk in the building.

What the role requires:

  • 5+ years, portfolio strong in art direction
  • Work that shows a point of view and and a deep commitment to craft 
  • Some experience leading creative, hunger for more
  • Comfort executing ideas in any medium
  • Four-day work week, in the office Monday through Thursday, in Portland, Maine

About VIA…

VIA means "The Way" in Latin. We've been finding the way for 33 years - for our clients, for ourselves, and most importantly for the humans on the receiving end of our work. 

We started with $4,000 and a set of principles we wrote in a hotel bar in fifteen minutes. That was 1993. We still use the same principles. They are our lighthouse. They keep us off the rocks:

Be Curious. 

Honor the Process. 

Think Like the Audience. 

Create Respect. 

Be on Time. 

Be on Budget. 

Figure It Out. 

Find the Magic. 

Do Work That Makes You Proud. 

Believe.

We believe in ideas with consequences. Ideas that don’t just look good in a deck, or win a room for an afternoon. Ideas that change what people do next. Ideas that move markets. Ideas that alter destinies.

We're 100% employee-owned. Every person here has a real stake in what we become. That changes what you fight for. What you're willing to put your name on. What done actually means.

We're based in Portland, Maine. Four-day work week. Some of the best benefits of any company our size in America. A 200 year old library that we get to work in every day knowing it’s ours. Great schools. An ocean. A food scene that has no business being this good.
