Art Director
Art Director (美術監督, bijutsu kantoku): The person in charge of the background art for the series. They draw many artboards that once approved by the series director serve as reference for the backgrounds throughout the series. Coordination within the art department is a must – setting and color designers must work together to craft a coherent world.

What is the difference between an art director and background art in the anime industry
I believe a background artist makes the backgrounds, whereas the art director leads how the art will be implemented.
