Art Director

About this role

About us At Pencil, we are building the AI Operating System for marketing — the only enterprise platform that aggregates every leading AI model, enforces enterprise-grade governance, and turns creative production savings into media growth. Our work moves brands like Diageo, L’Oréal and Unilever from creative brief to live, on-brand, performance-tested campaigns in minutes — across every market, channel and language — without sacrificing legal, IT or brand control.

Your mission Bring the craft of advertising together with the speed of GenAI.
