Title: Group Art Director Location: Atlanta, GA preferred, Remote At PrizePicks, we are the fastest-growing sports company in North America, as recognized by Inc. 5000. As the leading platform for Daily Fantasy Sports, we cover a diverse range of sports leagues, including the NFL, NBA, and Esports titles like League of Legends and Counter-Strike. Our team of over 550 employees thrives in an inclusive culture that values individuals from diverse backgrounds, regardless of their level of sports fandom. Ready to reimagine the DFS industry together? This is not a role for someone who wants to run the show. It's a role for someone who wants to make the show undeniably better. The Creative Collective is a small, high-conviction team built around one standard: commit fully or not at all. We move fast, debate hard, and once a call is made, we stand behind it together. The ECD sets the vision. Your job is to be the closest thing to that vision in execution — the creative right hand who makes it real. You will lead a team of four designers — two Art Directors and two specialist designers — not by controlling their creative, but by raising it. One Art Director owns brand creative and the other owns social creative. They're good at what they do and that doesn't change when you walk in. Your authority comes from your output, your ideas and your ability to make the people around you sharper. At the same time, you are an elite executor. You design, animate, edit, create merch or even build in 3D. Whatever the project demands you have enough in your bag to be dangerous. You concept at a strategic level and then drop into the tools and make it. You are the bridge between the ECD's vision and what the team ships — and you close that gap by doing the work yourself as much as by directing others. If you've spent your career being the best creative in every room you've been in and you're ready to be that for a team — this is it. How We Work Lead with conviction — Be Iverson Bring work you believe in and have a strong POV. Authenticity matters more than the idea itself. If the idea could live with another brand's logo on it, it doesn't belong here. We'd rather refine a bold idea than try to save a safe one. ↳ Not: "This is just an option" or over-explaining to compensate for weak belief Sharpen each other — Be Pharrell Value direct feedback and be comfortable in conflict. Debate makes the work better. Once a call is made, we move together. Mediocre work is a collective failure, not an individual one. ↳ Not: Silent agreement followed by side conversations or ego-driven critique Execute under pressure — Be Jordan The standard does not change when the moment does. We move with precision and continually refine our judgment. Practice or clutch time, you show up with the same intensity. ↳ Not: "We didn't have time" or by overcomplicating simple calls Show up fully — Be Virgil Show up wherever you are needed, whenever you are needed, without hesitation. Not for credit — for the outcome. It's not about doing everything. It's about doing what's required to make it right. ↳ Not: "That's not my job" or trying to protect your role over protecting the work What you’ll do: Be the ECD's creative right hand - Partner directly with the ECD on ideation, concepting, and creative strategy — the thinking partner who helps turn vision into direction - Bring wild, well-reasoned ideas to the table and have the skills to execute them yourself - Represent the ECD's creative standards across every project and every channel - Help push the brand into cultural moments, campaigns, and big swings that feel undeniably PrizePicks Lead the design team through craft, not authority - Directly manage two Art Directors (Brand and Social) and two specialist designers - Protect and reinforce what George and Brandon own — your role is to elevate their work, not redirect it - Coach through doing: show better work, not just describe it - Create an environment where the team produces the best creative of their careers - Provide direct, actionable feedback that makes the work better every single time Execute at an elite level across every medium - Design campaign assets from brief to final — digital, social, OOH, CRM, product touchpoints - Animate TV spots, social content and create motion systems from scratch (Not An Option) - Build 3D assets — Blender proficiency strongly preferred - Concept and write alongside copy when the brief demands it — scripts, taglines, platforms - Own the two-minute drill — real-time cultural moments demand sharper judgment, not lower standards Stay locked into culture, sports, and performance - Be chronically online and tapped into sports, culture, and the internet before it hits the mainstream - Bring elite ball knower energy — you understand the moments, the players, the narratives, and why real fans care - Build creative that performs — you understand paid social, know what a winning asset looks like, and never mistake beautiful for effective - Contribute to performance creative strategy alongside Acquisition and Product Marketing Push what's possible - Bring new tools, formats and technologies into the workflow. - Experiment constantly. - Drive trends, don’t follow them Who You Are: - A maker first — you'd rather build it than brief it out and your output proves it - Fast — What agencies do in weeks you can do in days if not hours. - Multi-disciplinary to a rare degree — genuinely elite across design, motion, 3D and concepting - A player-coach — you lead by doing, not by delegating and the team gets better because they watch you work - Low ego about ownership — Team wins are your wins. You protect swim lanes and make them bigger - A strategic thinker who doesn't hide behind strategy — you can go from big idea to finished asset without losing the thread - Chronically online — you live where culture lives, not where it lands after the fact - An elite ball knower — sports isn't a vertical to you, it's a language you speak fluently - Performance-aware — great creative has to do something, not just look good - A force multiplier — your presence makes everyone around you sharper without making it about you What you have: Qualifications: - 8–12+ years of creative execution experience in a high-performance in-house or agency environment - Experience managing or mentoring creative talent — you've made other people better - Portfolio that demonstrates genuine range: campaign-level thinking, high-end visual design, motion, and 3D - Expert-level in Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects — these are table stakes - Blender proficiency — strongly preferred, not optional if you want to stand out - Fluency in performance creative — you know what a winning paid social asset looks like and why it converts - Deep understanding of sports and culture — NBA, NFL, and beyond. You know the storylines before the brief is written - Experience in sports, gaming, or entertainment/culture — you already speak our language - Ability to concept, pitch, write and execute at an elite level across every stage of a project Bonus Points - Experience with AI-driven creative tools and workflows - Video editing and social-first content production - Background working with talent, creators, or production teams - Experience building or evolving brand systems at scale What Success Looks Like In 90 days, you've shipped work that makes people stop scrolling. The team feel supported, not second-guessed — swim lanes are intact and their work is better. The ECD has a creative partner who thinks at the same level and executes bar for bar with him. In six months, there's a body of work with your fingerprints on it that has genuinely moved PrizePicks forward. The team is producing more, at a higher level, because you're in the room. In a year, you're the reason we didn't need an agency.

Title: Associate Director, Paid Social Location: New York, NY USA Department: Paid Media Employment Type Full time Location Type Hybrid Job Description: About Darkroom Darkroom is the leading next-generation growth marketing firm engineering the brands of tomorrow. Founded in 2017, we set out to redefine what a modern agency could be, by replacing the inertia of legacy advertising behemoths with a model built for speed, intelligence, and measurable impact. At our core, Darkroom is a human services company powered by Shadow, a universal AI commerce layer that integrates executive-level strategy with proprietary agentic technology. This fusion enables our teams to deliver outsized returns by enhancing creative output, operational efficiency, and revenue generation across every stage of the customer journey. Our track record speaks for itself: billions in attributable revenue driven across e-commerce marketplaces, media networks, DTC ecosystems, and social commerce platforms. Every engagement feeds into our proprietary data infrastructure, enabling a continuous feedback loop that accelerates growth, improves margins, and compounds results across our client portfolio. What began as a boutique design studio has evolved into one of the fastest-growing private companies in America (Inc. 5000) and among the most effective performance media agencies of the 2020s (Varos). Our founders were recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30 for advancing the intersection of technology, marketing, and advertising, cementing Darkroom’s role as a defining player in the future of media innovation. About the Role We are hiring for our Paid Media team, looking for an Associate Director, Paid Social — a senior performance leader who combines deep platform expertise with strategic vision, team leadership, and executive-level client management. This is not a tactical execution role; it demands the ability to architect full-funnel paid social strategies, lead a team of practitioners, and drive measurable revenue outcomes across a portfolio of high-growth brands. The ideal candidate is a recognized expert in Meta direct response advertising with a proven track record of scaling ad accounts well beyond $1M USD per month, building and mentoring high-performing teams, and serving as a trusted strategic advisor to senior client stakeholders. You think in systems, not campaigns — and you hold yourself accountable to the business outcomes that matter. You'll report to the Managing Director of the department and serve as a senior leader within the Paid Media practice, owning the strategy, performance, and growth of a portfolio of key accounts. You'll collaborate closely with Creative, Analytics, Brand, and Client Strategy teams, and will be responsible for developing the next generation of paid social talent at Darkroom. This is a fast-paced, high-accountability environment designed for marketers who are ambitious, curious, and ready to grow. You’ll gain hands-on experience in a broad range of platforms and verticals, while developing the skills needed to lead performance strategies end-to-end. Darkroom is a career incubator for ambitious talent looking to operate at the intersection of business, design, and innovation. What you'll do: - Own and drive the overarching paid social strategy across a portfolio of high-growth U.S. brands, ensuring alignment between media investment, creative output, and business objectives. - Serve as the executive point of contact for senior client stakeholders — presenting quarterly business reviews, growth roadmaps, and performance forecasts to CMOs and marketing leadership. - Partner with the Managing Director to define team OKRs, capacity planning, and service delivery standards across the Paid Social practice. - Champion Darkroom's paid social point of view, staying ahead of platform changes, algorithmic shifts, and emerging formats to inform both client strategy and internal best practices. - Lead the development of annual and quarterly paid media plans, including budget allocation, channel mix, audience strategy, and creative roadmaps. - Oversee campaign architecture, optimization frameworks, and testing methodologies across 8–15 paid media accounts with aggregate monthly spends ranging from $500K–$5M+. - Drive best-in-class performance across Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, Axon, and CTV, with deep mastery of direct response principles and short-form video creative strategy. - Establish and enforce rigorous KPI frameworks — CPA, CAC, iROAS, nCAC, MER, aMER, CTR, TSR, and Hold Rate — ensuring data-driven decision-making at every level. - Architect and pressure-test attribution models in partnership with Analytics, ensuring clients have a clear and accurate view of cross-channel performance. - Proactively identify growth opportunities through competitive intelligence, audience expansion, and creative iteration — translating insights into actionable channel strategies. - Serve as the senior creative strategist on accounts, guiding clients and internal creative teams on hook construction, format selection, messaging hierarchy, and creative testing frameworks. - Develop scalable creative testing systems that connect production investment directly to performance outcomes. - Advise clients on creative budget allocation across UGC, motion, static, and short-form video to maximize return at each funnel stage. - Manage, coach, and develop a team of Paid Social Managers and Specialists, setting clear performance expectations and fostering a culture of accountability and craft. - Conduct structured performance reviews and build individualized growth plans for direct reports. - Establish internal quality standards for campaign builds, reporting, and client deliverables — and ensure consistent adherence across the team. - Act as an escalation point for complex performance challenges and client issues, providing senior-level guidance and resolution. What you'll need to be successful: - 10+ years of paid media advertising experience, with at least 7+ years specializing in Paid Social and Meta in particular. - 7+ years managing paid social advertising for high-growth consumer brands with aggregate monthly spends of $1M+ across a portfolio. - Demonstrated experience leading and developing a team of 3+ paid media practitioners in a fast-paced agency or in-house environment. - Proven track record of scaling Meta ad accounts beyond $1M USD/month while maintaining or improving efficiency metrics. - Executive-level client management skills — ability to build trust with CMOs and senior marketing leaders, present strategic recommendations with confidence, and navigate complex stakeholder dynamics. - Expert-level command of Meta Ads Manager and deep familiarity with TikTok Ads, Pinterest, and emerging social commerce platforms. - Mastery of e-commerce performance metrics (CPA, CAC, iROAS, nCAC, MER, aMER, CTR, TSR, Hold Rate) and the ability to translate these into clear client-facing narratives. - Expertise in full-funnel creative strategy — from concept briefing to performance analysis — with a sharp eye for what converts. - Strong background in data-derived decision-making, budget forecasting, and spend projection modeling. - Comfort engaging with e-commerce P&Ls and financial performance metrics at the business level. - Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; able to distill complex data into compelling insights for both internal teams and senior client stakeholders. What It's Like to Work at Darkroom Darkroom is not a typical agency. We are looking for A players who want to build something great. We move fast, think deeply, and expect every team member to bring insight and rigor to everything they touch. We hold a high bar for performance, creativity, and ownership — but we also support each other relentlessly. No egos, no red tape — just world-class talent building something remarkable. We believe in autonomy with accountability, truth over comfort, and outcomes over optics. - Unlimited PTO + US holidays: Rebooting is part of the work. Take the time you need to stay sharp. - Remote-First Culture: Many roles are fully remote. Employees based in or near our New York or Lisbon HQs are expected to work hybrid with weekly in-office time. Hub locations include the Brazil and Spain. - Health & Wellness: Company-sponsored medical, dental, and vision coverage. - Finances, growth, and retirement: Darkroom offers a robust 401(k) program with company match and profit-sharing opportunities to help you save and grow as the company grows. - Parental Leave: Flexible parental leave to support new parents during this important transition. - Growth: Our interdisciplinary model gives every Darkroomer exposure far beyond their core role. Grow your skills, expand your influence, and stay at the forefront of the industry. Compensation: The base salary range for this role is $120,000 per year.
