Art Director

About the Role

Abnormal is a security company that aims to look and feel like nothing else in the industry. We're precision-engineered, a little rebellious, and a few steps ahead of the competition. We protect more than 5,000 customers, including 30% of the Fortune 500, with a platform that stops cyber attacks that others miss.

We're looking for an Art Director who is first and foremost an artist. This is not a creative production role. You will own Abnormal's aesthetic direction, a singular visual identity with a bold and cinematic sensibility, and communicate that vision clearly to every team, vendor, and collaborator who executes creative work.

You'll work closely with our CEO, CMO, VP of Product Marketing, and VP of Revenue Marketing to internalize Abnormal's worldview, then make it your own, ideally pushing it further than we imagined. This role is distinct from our creative services function, which runs the production engine. Your job is to set the vision, protect its integrity, and elevate it.

At Abnormal, you'll do the most exciting work of your career because you'll be shaping how the future of cybersecurity is seen, in a company where AI is at the core of the product and the way we work.

The ideal candidate is a concept artist at heart, someone who has spent their career in sci-fi film, cyberpunk or sci-fi video games, or similarly high-craft visual storytelling environments. Specifically, we want someone who knows how to design computer interfaces, holograms, and imagined future worlds, with the kind of detail that maps to a visionary technology company and its products.

What You Will Do

• Define and own Abnormal's visual aesthetic direction
• Lead visual ideation for high-stakes moments: major product launches, experiential events, and brand campaigns
• Contribute hands-on concept work when the moment demands it
• Build a shared creative language across the org so the aesthetic direction scales without bottlenecking through you
• Serve as the creative authority and taste-setter for all visual output
• Translate the CEO's and leadership's vision into a clear, communicable aesthetic that others can execute without needing you in every room
• Partner with creative services to keep production output style-consistent
• Develop mood boards, concept art, and visual references that define "in the zone" creative

Must Haves

• 10+ years of experience in concept art, visual design, or art direction
• Shipped credits on AAA game titles, major film productions, or equivalent high-craft visual projects in sci-fi, cyberpunk, or adjacent genres
• A portfolio that demonstrates genuine aesthetic vision, not just execution
• Experience as the sole or lead visual voice on at least one significant project
• Ability to articulate and document a visual language clearly enough that others can execute it without you present
• Experience collaborating directly with senior leadership or creative directors
• Craft fluency across visual mediums: digital, environmental, editorial, motion
• Proven ability to work as an individual contributor in a fast-moving tech company
• Strong communication and presentation skills

Nice to Haves

• Experience in B2B tech, cybersecurity, or enterprise software
• Familiarity with experiential or event design
• Experience working alongside or managing a creative production team
• Comfort with AI-assisted design and prototyping tools
