Associate Creative Director - Art Director

About Us

At Thesis, we believe that everyone has the capacity to unlock their brain’s full potential. In a world where technology is outpacing human evolution, it’s become more difficult to keep pace with the constant stimuli of the world we live in. The result? People are struggling to be present in every part of their lives. That’s why we’re building an ecosystem that helps people reclaim their focus, starting with nootropic blends to support every kind of brain.

Thesis helps people find the right nootropic blends for their brain chemistry—made from the highest quality, high potency and bioavailable blends at clinically studied dosages—to achieve their goals by boosting brain function and enhancing mental clarity. Thesis has already attracted significant attention, with over $14M raised in venture capital, endorsements from notable healthcare experts and athletes, and is advised by leading neuroscientists from Yale, Penn, and MIT. 

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for exceptional people to join us in revolutionizing cognitive enhancement. If you're ready to contribute to a pioneering movement that promises personal growth and industry leadership, we invite you to explore a career with us at Thesis.

This is a big opportunity and we’re looking for creatives who love solving a problem with genuine creativity.

• A strong portfolio of conceptual work with incredible art direction and design.
• A genuine curiosity about brain science and an interest in making it understandable and engaging for consumers with your creativity and art directing ability.
