Full-Time · New York, NY · $120,000
The Director of Digital is a senior strategic leader who shapes how Digital Counsel's clients show up across every digital channel. You will lead the full arc from communications audit to creative execution—turning research and analysis into actionable brand, web, and social strategies for a roster of marquee art and culture clients.
This is a client-facing role that requires both executive presence and deep hands-on fluency. You think in systems, write with precision, and understand how to move between the analytical and the aesthetic. You'll oversee integrated campaigns spanning organic and paid media, and serve as the strategic lead across branding, web, and social projects from kickoff through delivery.
This role begins with a one-month contract engagement, with the expectation of transitioning to a full-time salaried position with benefits for the right candidate. Compensation for the initial contract will be commensurate with experience.
