The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Consulting Plus is hiring a Art Director in Ames, IA.

• Role description

  This internship Art Director role in Ames, IA is built for someone who lives at the intersection of craft and concept. The reward structure favors doers: $127,000 - $185,000 upfront, real creative ownership, and a Consulting Plus team pulling the same direction.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Reframe a tired product story until director stakeholders lean forward again
  • Reframe constraints from the internship budget as the brief's most useful lever
  • Stage A/B variants that isolate one creative variable cleanly
  • Shape brand voice across every touchpoint our Ames customers actually notice
  • Leave a documented trail so the next creative inherits judgment, not just files

  What You'll Bring

  • Fluency in Collaboration earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
  • Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
  • Director-caliber judgment about when to escalate and when to absorb
  • Working understanding of both Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects in real-world settings
  • 10+ years of Miro reps, not just Miro exposure
  • Judgment seasoned by at least 12 years of real consequences

  The reputation Consulting Plus enjoys across IA wasn't bought; the scrappy-but-steady Ames team earned it one creative project at a time. The Consulting Plus promise is plain: clear expectations, real autonomy, and zero surprise reviews.

  You join at $127,000 - $185,000, grow with a mentor, lean on benefits, and flex your hours so Ames fits work instead of the reverse.

  This role is being actively staffed, with offers expected before the quarter closes.

  Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
