Art Director
Role Overview
L.A. Burdick Chocolates is seeking an Art Director to thoughtfully shape and steward the visual expression of our brand across every touchpoint. This hands-on role is ideal for someone with strong design instincts, a sharp eye for storytelling, and deep appreciation for craft and detail. You’ll bring a creative vision paired with hands-on execution. You are equally comfortable helping set the visual direction for the brand as you are designing packaging, photographing, or creating a seasonal catalog.
You’ll support all things visual - from digital marketing campaigns, emails, website design, and social content to postcards, packaging, in-store signage, and store design. Working closely with our Creative Director, you’ll help guide content strategy and visual storytelling, ensuring every asset reflects our values, aesthetic, and nearly 40-year heritage. If you’re excited by this opportunity, we’d love to hear from you.
This position is based in Boston and is fully in person.

What We Are Looking For
7+ years of design experience, ideally with a premium or e-commerce brand
Based in Boston (or willing to relocate) and available to work in-person 5 days/week

Comfortable managing multiple priorities with care and attention to detail
Ability to pair strong creative vision with hands-on execution
Experience working with photographers and external creative partners
