JUSTLIFE - MARKETING - DUBAI, UAE Art Director Why this role exists Justlife is scaling fast across the UAE & KSA, and our brand needs a creative owner — not just another pair of hands. We're hiring an Art Director to take creative direction across our highest-volume channels, raise the bar on quality, and make the whole team faster and sharper. You'll ship a lot, and you'll decide what good looks like. You'll report to the Creative Marketing Manager and work across campaigns, CRM, social, performance ads, in-app communication, and brand touchpoints. This role moves fast and ships at volume — throughput is a core expectation — but we hire people who treat speed and craft as the same discipline, not a trade-off.
