Art director

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.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with the Creative Director on creative strategy, campaign direction, and content planning
• Design and produce marketing content across email, social, paid ads, web, catalog, postcard, and seasonal campaigns, with a strong emphasis on enhancing our social presence.
• Create brand assets for physical touchpoints, like packaging and in-store signage
• Coordinate with external photographers and creative partners to develop high-quality, on-brand content
• Support product launches, promotions, and storytelling moments with clear, compelling design
• Ensure creative work aligns with the brand’s visual identity, heritage, and values
• Work efficiently and iteratively, balancing quick turnarounds with craftsmanship
• Bring a thoughtful, hands-on approach to both strategy and execution

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
• A commitment to growing with intention – never compromising on quality, story, or visual integrity
• Strong portfolio across digital and print; packaging design experience is a plus
• Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma
• 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
• Passion for chocolate, food, or premium retail is a plus
