Bring high-impact broadcast storytelling to life through video and design. NinjaTrader Live is looking for an Art Director with a specialty in video and motion graphics to shape and set the tone for the visual identity of NinjaTrader Live and all experiences across the livestream, every social clip, every lower-third, and every visual component we put in front of our audience. One day you're cutting a sizzle reel for the livestream. The next you're building out an impactful intro for a new segment launch. The day after, you're turning around a same-day social clip from a community meetup. This is a hands-on art direction role — you elevate the visual standard, direct a Senior Graphic Designer, and own the output end to end. If you thrive in fast-moving, live production environments, bring forward a strong vision, and understand how to build intentionally for different channels and scenarios, this role is for you.

- Direct the Senior Graphic Designer, ensuring static and motion systems evolve cohesively and the creative bar stays high across every deliverable
- Provide clear, actionable feedback that supports the growth and output of your direct report while maintaining quality and consistency across all work
- Collaborate cross-functionally with producers, media, and social teams to translate business goals into compelling visual storytelling
- Own the creative process from concept through execution — balancing hands-on design work with strategic oversight
- Stay ahead on motion design, video, live streaming assets, and AI creative advancements
- Build the systems that make scale possible: own templates, style guides, and asset organization workflows that enable the team to produce more, faster, without losing consistency
- Own and delegate the creative schedule — managing multiple live and in-progress projects with competing deadlines and same-day turnarounds
- 5+ years of experience in motion graphics, video editing, or art direction roles
- Strong portfolio demonstrating motion design, video editing, and brand storytelling across multiple platforms
- Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, including After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Photoshop
- Experience developing and maintaining visual systems across multiple content channels
- Strong understanding of pacing, storytelling, and audience engagement in both long-form and short-form video and how delivery varies across channels
- Proven ability to produce high-quality video, static, and motion creative across multiple formats, markets, and languages at speed
- Ability to shape creative vision while remaining hands-on in execution
- Experience managing or directly overseeing at least one designer or creative contributor
- Familiarity with working in fast-paced environments with tight turnaround times, ideally in live or near-live production settings
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams in content-driven environments
- Strong communication skills and ownership with the ability to align stakeholders around a shared creative vision
- Strong design fundamentals: typography, composition, hierarchy, color
- High attention to detail with strong organizational and project management skills
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines
