Role
Who you are

- You’re both a visionary and a doer: able to set the standard, coach the team to success, and roll up your sleeves where needed

- 8+ years of experience working in house or at a creative agency with a track record of leading brand and performance campaigns across channels
- Strong communication and coordination skills, with a sense of urgency to meet deadlines and take initiative
- Proven success designing across multiple mediums that produces results, from conversions to purchases to engagement

- Familiarity with AI tools and their ability to expedite innovation – and enhance efficiency. Willingness to embrace and experiment
- Strong portfolio that demonstrates taste, originality, system-level thinking, and performance creativity
- Experience art directing brand, product, and lifestyle shoots
- Interested in the role, but don’t meet every qualification? We encourage you to still apply!
- At WHOOP, we believe there is much more to a candidate than what is written on paper, and we value character as much as experience
- As we continue to build a diverse and inclusive environment, we encourage anyone who is interested in this role to apply
What the job involves
- As an integral member of the Marketing team and a senior leader of the Creative team, the ACD, Art not only upholds our brand standards but evolves them
- Elevate our visual expression across campaign and evergreen touchpoints across large, cross-channel campaigns, as well as one-off projects and everyday iteration
- Drive concept development and execution for integrated campaigns, partnering closely with the Associate Creative Director, Copy
- Collaborate closely with our Marketing, Apparel & Accessories, Wholesale, Product, and Product Design teams to ensure our work delivers across every stage of the funnel, and that our work is rooted in insight
- Identify ways and opportunities we can test our creative, and steer the team to consistently incorporate our best practices and learnings
- Mentor and guide designers (in house and contract) to push their craft, sharpen their thinking, and deliver industry-leading work, giving timely feedback and coaching throughout the process
- Elevate our art direction and lead onset shoots, including those to build our brand asset library
- Adapt and develop our design language to be the most effective on every channel, while maintaining topline consistency
- Help maintain design team efficacy, evaluating tooling, supporting DAM maintenance, and finding opportunities for efficiency

Our take
WHOOP develops wearable health-tracking devices designed to help athletes optimise their performance. Its technology continuously monitors recovery, sleep, and training hours to fine-tune both individual and team performance. Unlike competitors that primarily track exercise data, WHOOP's holistic approach includes metrics like heart rate variability, which can influence more effective and healthier exercise routines.
By focusing on a subscription model that includes the cost of the physical device, WHOOP differentiates itself from competitors that charge a higher one-time fee for their products. This model provides ongoing value and encourages users to stay engaged with their health data.
WHOOP's comprehensive monitoring of strain and recovery has given it a competitive edge, even as other brands like Fitbit have incorporated similar features. Beyond sports performance, WHOOP has conducted extensive research on predicting premature births, aiming to integrate these findings into their app. This commitment to broader health applications demonstrates WHOOP's dedication to advancing wearable health technology.
