Full-time Senior 🇵🇹 Portugal 🪄 Design ✈️ Relocation Job description

Responsibilities

• Lead the transition from classic photo shoots to AI-generated visual production workflows across campaigns;
• Direct and oversee the creation of people-focused advertising visuals using AI image generation tools (Midjourney, Flux, Firefly, Kling, etc.);
• Develop and maintain scalable AI pipelines for concept generation, character consistency, background creation, and asset optimization;
• Lead and mentor a team of AI artists and graphic designers, setting quality standards and creative direction;
• Oversee retouching and post-processing to ensure a polished, premium look while maintaining a realistic, non-AI-looking aesthetic;
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously from concept to final delivery;
• Review and quality-control all AI-generated materials for visual accuracy, brand alignment, and campaign effectiveness;
• Be a role model for the team and foster a positive, innovation-driven, creative culture.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in visual production, graphic design, or art direction — ideally with a transition into AI-driven workflows;
• Proven track record creating advertising visuals centred around people in realistic, relatable, lifestyle or narrative settings — using AI tools rather than traditional photography;
• Deep hands-on expertise with AI image generation tools (Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Adobe Firefly, Flux, or similar);
• Strong understanding of prompt engineering, ControlNet, inpainting, and character consistency techniques;
• Experience directing "staged fantasy" scenes — scripting and producing complex, story-driven visuals that blend realism with imaginative concepts, entirely through AI;
• Expert eye for retouching direction: ability to guide post-processing that avoids the over-generated, artificial look;
• Understanding of production pipelines, technical budgeting, and workflow optimisation in an AI-first environment;
• Strong aesthetic sensibility with the ability to lead, inspire, and grow a diverse team of designers and AI artists;
• Attention to visual detail and ability to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment;
• Advanced level of English.

Benefits & Perks

• Learning and development opportunities and interesting, challenging tasks;
• Official employment following Portuguese/EU laws, including registration of family members;
• Relocation package (flight tickets + 2-week hotel stay);
• Opportunity to develop language skills, with partial compensation for the cost of English and Portuguese language classes (for localization purposes);
• Birthday celebration gift;
• Partial compensation for tennis and padel lessons;
• Time for proper rest, with 24 non-business days per year and an additional 6 paid sick days;
• Private medical coverage, including inpatient, outpatient, dental care, annual check-ups, and maternity support;
• Transport compensation - 200 euros net per month;
• Urban Sport membership benefit (the most diverse sports and wellness offering in Europe, with more than 50+ activities);
• Competitive remuneration level with annual review;
• Teambuilding activities.

What you'll do

• Lead the AI-driven visual production workflow for advertising campaigns;
• Mentor and manage a team of AI artists and designers;
• Oversee quality control, branding alignment, and campaign effectiveness of AI-generated visuals;
• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure timely delivery from concept to final output.

Who you are

• Creative leader with a strong background in visual production and graphic design;
• Experienced in AI image generation and related tools;
• Excellent at directing teams and maintaining high standards in a fast-paced environment;
• Fluent in English with strong communication skills.

Tech stack

• Post-processing and retouching workflows;
• Production pipelines and workflow optimization in AI-first environments.
