We're looking for a Staff Art Director to lead the design vision for our Client / Pro / B2B business. This is a role for a concept-driven, system-minded creative leader who can turn complex value propositions into bold, clear, and inspiring design across digital platforms and live events.

This is a career-defining opportunity to help redefine what B2B creative looks like in real estate while building your own profile as a leader in a high-visibility, high-impact role.

What You'll Do
Lead with vision:
- Conceive and direct campaign ideas that inspire and perform-across web, email, paid media, and event stages.
- Shape the design systems, workflows, and templates that scale quality across the team.
- Translate complex industry stories into bold, clear, and intuitive creative that builds trust and drives action.
