The Washington Post’s Emerging News Products team has an immediate opening for an Art Director on The Lily. This role requires a well-rounded visual journalist who can design, illustrate and art direct across The Lily’s platforms.
Art directors on The Lily work closely with the rest of our team, so a collaborative spirit is a must. For example, you may work with our video editor to create graphics for a series, or our multiplatform editors to design our twice-weekly newsletter, Lily Lines. We are looking for a designer who is excited to contribute ideas. In the past, our designers’ ideas have included a mural for International Women’s Day and a zine for The Lily’s first anniversary.
Ideal candidates will have a portfolio demonstrating a strong use of typography, photo-editing skills, the creation of original illustration and experience directing illustrators.
Interested candidates should send a resume, cover letter explaining your strengths and a PDF portfolio with six examples of recent work to Christopher Meighan (christopher.meighan@washpost.com), Amy King (amy.king@washpost.com) or Tracy Grant (tracy.grant@washpost.com) by Nov. 30. Please use the subject line “THE LILY ART DIRECTOR: YOUR NAME.”
