About the role

This remote art director job is with Maison Cealus, also called the House of Cealus, a private marketing house based in Poland. Admission is by application, and the list of clients, which we call houses, stays short. Azoulay, Onto The Next and FOMO are among them, and we work from inside each one across Identity, Film, Strategy and Residence, the four lines of the house. London Daily News listed Cealus among the Top 5 creative direction companies of 2026, the year the house closed its seed round.

Where many art director jobs end at the launch, this one keeps going: we film, post and test the look you build every week, so you see what it does and help decide what comes next. You will be part brand identity art director at the desk and part art director on set, and the work starts in Line I, our brand identity work.

What you will do

Build the identity system for each new house: wordmark, typefaces, color, layout rules and how it all behaves in motion.
Set type and layout for every surface a house lives on, from its website and letterhead to a story frame on a phone.
Art-direct shoots for launch films, campaigns and founder content: casting, set, light, wardrobe and frame.
Design the frames for film and social, including covers, title cards, thumbnails and story sequences. One story sequence brought The Blueprint $100K+ in payments in seven days.
Test every identity in a real post, story and film frame before anything is final.
Write the guidelines and build the templates that let Residence, the line that posts every day, keep a house consistent without reinventing it.
Look after the house's own glass-and-label design language: glass panels over film, stitched tape labels, mono type and a plaster-and-ink palette.
Go through the weekly numbers with Strategy and Residence, and redraw what is not working, including your own favorites.

What you bring

5+ years in art direction or brand design, with identity systems you led from the first sketch to daily use.
A portfolio, sent as links, that shows your work in use and not only on presentation boards.
Strong typography. You can make a page with two typefaces and a lot of empty space feel finished.
Restraint, and taste you can explain. You know what to take away, and you can say why in plain words.
Figma and Adobe Creative Suite at a professional level, with files someone else can open and use the next morning.
Experience directing photo or film shoots, with a high standard kept on a small set and a short day.
A phone-first eye for vertical video, stories and thumbnails, where most people meet a brand.
Tidy files, clear written notes and decisions that hold up without a meeting, because this is a remote art director job.

Nice to have

Motion sense: you can show how a wordmark or a title card should move.
A background as a luxury brand art director, in-house or at a studio.
Print know-how, from proofing on the real stock to setting a rich black.
An ear for words, so that a name, a line and a layout read as one voice.

Pay and how we work

The art director salary range is listed below, so you know it before you apply. We work from inside other people's businesses, so discretion matters.

Base salary: $105,000–$140,000 USD a year
Full-time, remote within the United States
The house is based in Europe, so some calls fall early in the US day
This is a good-faith range for the role, and the offer depends on experience
