Function was founded with a singular focus: empower you to live 100 healthy years. We’re doing that by using the best available technology to make sure people don't suffer or die a preventable death. Function has been recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2024 and is venture-backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z).
Hundreds of thousands of members have joined Function to take control of their health. We are growing our team and seeking out world-class talent that deeply believes in our mission to positively impact global health and have a relentless bias toward action and a growth mindset. Function fosters a collaborative and dynamic environment where, every day, we are building the future.
Role:
Function is building a new era of health content—smarter, sharper, more human. We're looking for a Senior Art Director who can make it unforgettable.
In this role, you will lead and define the visual direction for our editorial (organic social) team. As Senior Art Director, you’ll set the creative tone for all organic social content—especially video—ensuring every piece stops the scroll, earns attention, and builds trust. You’ll collaborate closely with scriptwriters, producers, and editors to transform compelling narratives into visually engaging, social-first experiences. You know how to guide a viewer through dynamic storytelling in 30 seconds or less, mastering visual pacing and tone. As the team leader, you’ll directly manage two Senior Brand Designers.
This role is best suited for those energized by fast-paced environments, excited to build in a high-growth setting, and deeply motivated by our mission at Function. If you're looking for meaningful challenges, dynamic work, and the opportunity to make a real impact—we’d love to meet you.

- Set the visual tone and motion language for video-first storytelling across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and beyond.
- Lead a team of 3 designers on organic social. Mentor 2 direct reports and help them grow.
- Partner with scriptwriters to concept, storyboard, and direct visual narratives for short-form video, editorial content, and episodic social.
- Translate scripts into visual treatments, references, and storyboards for production teams.
- Art direct shoots, edits, and animations—ensuring the story stays intact and the visuals elevate the message. Travel will occasionally be required.
- Work across a variety of video formats including short-form interview, explainers, and motion-driven narratives.
- Create visual toolkits and design systems for consistent storytelling across content series.
- Collaborate with video editors, animators, illustrators, and creative ops to bring content to life, on time and on brand.
- Approach editing with a sharp eye to maintain quality, pacing, and brand tone.
- Contribute design ideas and art direction to evolve our non-video organic social posts.
Qualifications/Skills:
- 5–7+ years of experience in design, art direction, or content-focused creative roles.
- 2-3 years of team management experience.
- A reel or portfolio that shows range, restraint, and creativity across video, motion, and digital content. Applicants who don’t share samples of their work will not be considered.
- Strong storytelling instincts—knowing what image lands, when to cut, and how to keep people watching.
- Experience guiding content from idea through production in collaboration with writers, producers, and editors.
- Deep knowledge of visual and motion design for social, digital, and video formats.
- Comfort directing freelance and internal talent across design and video.
- A bias for action, a high bar for taste, and a love of visual clarity.
Nice-to-Have Skills and Experiences:
- Have experience directing documentary-style content or branded storytelling.
