The Guild is India’s most progressive business-media platform. Backed by Polygon Media, we power brands such as SME Futures, CIO Guild, and Guild Live. Our goal : raise the creative bar to the level of Wired, Fast Company, Monocle, and Netflix Creative Studio —then leap beyond.

The Role

We’re searching for a visionary Asst. Art Director who thinks in storyboards, dreams in color systems, and treats AI as a co-designer. You’ll own our visual identity across web, print, social, events, video, and emerging formats—and build the team, processes, and design culture that make it legendary.

🚀 Lead design everywhere

Web, social, editorial, motion, events, spatial, OOH—nothing is off-canvas.

🤖 Harness creative AI

Integrate Gen-AI tools (Midjourney, DALL

• E, Runway, Sora, Adobe Firefly, etc.) into concepting, style-frames, motion pre-viz, and rapid prototyping.

📽️ Elevate video & motion

Partner with our video team to craft cinematic title cards, lower thirds, and data-driven infographics; guide AI-assisted video editing and VFX workflows.

🛠️ Systemize excellence

Create scalable design systems, asset libraries, and AI prompts that speed up quality, not compromise it.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Mentor & multiply

Coach graphic designers, motion artists, and freelancers; instill a culture of critique and craft.

What We’re Looking For

An understanding of B2B creative aesthetics, business storytelling, and content or design crafted for CXOs, decision-makers, and professional audiences is essential for success at The Guild. This is not a consumer-first environment—we’re building for the boardroom, not the living room.

🧠 Partner with visionary leadership across editorial, events, and tech

🌍 Craft work that looks world-class and reaches senior decision-makers

📸 Play across formats—from glossy print to immersive LED stages

💼 Own a high-visibility mandate with room to scale a team and a brand

Perks

We don’t need someone to fill a seat. We need someone who’ll redraw the entire canvas—pushing pixels, people, and possibilities into the future of design.
