Senior Art Director - Lifestyle, Luxury & Culture
Freelance | Project-based | 3–6 months
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Art Director to work across a range of visually led lifestyle projects, with a strong focus on photography and video.
The ideal person will have a sophisticated visual eye and a portfolio that goes beyond one particular sector. Experience within luxury hospitality would be a plus, but we’re particularly interested in creatives who can bring broader cultural references across architecture, art, fashion, dining, travel and lifestyle.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The ideal candidate
- Senior-level Art Director with strong experience across photography and video
- Excellent visual and conceptual thinking
- Strong understanding of art direction, styling, composition and visual storytelling
- Experience working on lifestyle-led campaigns and content
- Luxury hospitality experience is desirable, but not essential
- A portfolio demonstrating breadth across areas such as architecture, art, fashion, food, travel or culture
- Comfortable working independently and collaborating with photographers, filmmakers, producers and wider creative teams
- Able to develop a strong visual point of view while working within an established brand world
- Available for project-based freelance work, typically 3–6 months

The opportunity
This is an ongoing requirement rather than a single project, with the potential for a longer-term arrangement from next year.
We’re particularly keen to hear from Senior ADs who can bring a strong, considered visual perspective and aren't defined by one specific sector.
