About Atticus

At any given time, 16 million Americans are experiencing a crisis that requires urgent help from our legal system or government. The right assistance could transform their lives. But today, most never get it. 

Atticus makes it easy for any sick or injured person in crisis to get the life-changing aid they deserve. In the last 6 years we’ve become the leading platform connecting people with disabilities to government benefits. We also help victims of accidents, misconduct, and violence get compensation from insurance. So far, we’ve gotten thousands of people access to over $4B in life-changing aid, and we’re just getting started.

We've helped more than 110,000 people in need (see our 13,000+ five-star reviews) and raised more than $100 million from top VC firms like Fika, Forerunner, GV (Google Ventures), and True Ventures. (We closed our Series C round in April 2025, so we're well-funded for the foreseeable future.) We're small but moving fast — our team grew from 89 to over 151 last year, and we expect to grow again in 2025.

The Job

Identifying the people who need Atticus, educating them on our services, and getting them the help they need is one of the hardest and most rewarding things we do. Because the legal marketing space is highly competitive and heavily regulated, we aim to find innovative ways to reach our clients during the biggest crises of their lives while building trust with our clients. As part of Atticus’ creative marketing team, you’ll be responsible for helping our clients understand who we are, what we do and how we can help them through best-in-class video content.

As the Art Director editor, you’ll work with the Head of Creative to execute high-performing ads to help scale our creative output. In time, you will help bring to life your own creative vision and help establish a category-defining brand. You will be responsible for:

• Transforming briefs into storyboards and static graphics for organic and paid videos

• Concepting and creating original content for both on site and in ads

• Partnering with Product and Growth Marketing to create videos and ads we are both proud of and that also improve our ultimate accountability metric, CAC, and allow us to scale our content-led acquisition channels

Qualifications

Required:

• You have 4+ years of experience working full-time as an Art Director/ Senior Graphic designer with Motion and video experience at a startup

• You have a strong portfolio full of both video and static work

• You’re an expert at creating storyboards and understand how to effectively communicate your ideas to video editors and animators

• You know how to take a brief or complex messaging and translate that into videos to help tell an easy-to-understand story

• You have excellent taste, and are excited to collaborate with our growing (and incredibly talented) marketing team

Bonus / Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with long form video editing and animation

• Experience producing shoots and working on set

We are strongly committed to building a diverse team. If you’re from a background that’s underrepresented in tech, we’d love to meet you.

Salary and Benefits

This is a rare opportunity to join a startup that has strong traction (substantial funding, well-respected backers, tremendous growth, and many happy customers) but is still small enough that you can have a huge impact and play a role in shaping our culture.

We’re a certified B Corporation tackling a critical social problem. Our mission to help people in need drives everything we do, and your work here will touch many lives.

We offer competitive pay — including equity — and generous benefits:

• Medical and dental insurance with 100% of employee premiums covered

• 15 vacation days & ~19 paid holidays each year (including two weeks at end-of-year)

• Free membership to OneMedical

• $600/year reimbursable stipend for internet service

• $1,000 reimbursable stipend for education and training outside of work

• Up to $1,200/year student loan repayment assistance

• 401(k) and optional HSA/FSA

• Humble, thoughtful, smart, fun colleagues 

We anticipate the base salary band for this role will be between $120,000 to $140,000 in addition to equity and benefits. The salary at offer will be determined by a number of factors such as candidate’s experience, knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as internal equity among our team.

Location

This job is fully remote and we’re committed to empowering everyone with flexibility. Live wherever, work remotely, and travel to LA (on the company dime) as needed to be with your colleagues —somewhere between quarterly and yearly. We care a lot about building a great culture and we think some interactions need to happen in person, so we put a lot of thought into retreats, offsites, and other ways to gather.
