Art Director

Turn jargon into feeling, briefs into beauty, and constraints into fuel: that's the daily alchemy of the Art Director at Universal Studios. Bring people-first Growth Mindset and 11 years to Norfolk, and the return is $119,000 - $187,000, an internship schedule, and influence that grows.

Key Responsibilities

• Storyboard and direct photo, video, and content shoots end to end
• Steer a director review toward decisions instead of opinions about decisions
• Deliver pixel-perfect, production-ready files to engineering and print teams
• Maintain organized source files, asset libraries, and version histories
• Convert vague wildly-collaborative adjectives from a brief into concrete, defensible choices
• Recast dry compliance copy as something a human might willingly read
• Generate concepts for internship campaigns spanning paid, owned, and earned media

What You'll Bring

• A VA sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
• Comfort with an Universal Studios pace that rarely sits still
• Written communication clear enough to survive a forwarded email chain
• Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
• Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements
• The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
• Comfort presenting to a VA-wide audience without a script

You can trace a lot of VA's creative momentum back to an unhurried little team called Universal Studios in Norfolk. We'd rather hear hard truths in the hallway than polite fictions in the all-hands.

This director role pays $119,000 - $187,000 and surrounds it with coaching, coverage, and hours that respect your weekends in VA.

Fresh as of this morning, Universal Studios marked the director seat available.
