Art Director, Ventures

Copper is hiring a Concept Designer to act as a creative concepting and visualisation partner across the firm's ventures and creative projects. The role sits within the P Inc creative studio, working across Copper and P Inc's portfolio of ventures, partnerships, and ideas in development.

Reporting to the VP of New Ventures and working alongside the Executive Creative Director and Director of Creative Strategy, the role will translate briefs and early-stage ideas into clear, compelling visual concepts. The remit spans entertainment, sport, wellness, beauty, gaming, music, film & TV, hospitality, consumer and live experiences - from brands and spaces to products, packaging and digital experiences.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Partner with the Creative Director to concept and build pitch decks, narrative documents, and strategic materials presented to Copper's clients, leadership, and external partners.
• Translate the ideas of Copper's clients and senior leadership into clear visual systems, concepts, and storytelling, acting as a trusted hand to render instinct into image.
• Lead art direction across Copper's ventures from identity and concept through to launch assets.
• Develop creative concepts for adjacent projects in gaming, music launches, and entertainment partnerships, working alongside relevant project leads.
• Build and maintain a visual library, reference system, and concept archive that can be drawn on quickly across multiple workstreams.
• Coordinate closely with the existing creative studio to ensure work is strategically aligned, avoids duplication, and complements the broader creative ecosystem around Copper's clients.
• Brief and direct external collaborators (designers, illustrators, photographers, motion, retouchers, production) as required.
• Generate clear concepts end to end, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and prioritise effectively to ship high-volume, high-quality work on tight timelines.
• Gather insights from culture, market trends, and the wider creative landscape to bring informed, relevant recommendations into every project.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• 5+ years as an Art Director, Senior Designer, or comparable concepting role across consumer, fashion, culture, music, branded entertainment, or adjacent industries.
• Strong portfolio spanning concept work, identity systems, and deck and narrative design. You think and communicate in images as much as in words.
• Demonstrated experience working directly with talent, founders, and senior creative leadership.
• Confident operating across multiple categories simultaneously: fashion, gaming, music, consumer, entertainment, and hospitality.
• Highly collaborative but decisive; able to hold a clear creative point of view and defend it.
• Culturally fluent, with a genuine understanding of where Copper's clients sit in the global conversation.
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, with a bias toward making rather than waiting for briefs.
• Impeccable discretion and judgment, including experience handling confidential information and sensitive situations.
• High EQ; calm under pressure; proactive, resourceful, and relentless about follow-through.
• Fluency in Keynote, Figma, and the Adobe Creative Suite; comfortable in Google Workspace and project management tools such as Asana.
• English professional fluency required. French is not required but is a plus.
