As a highly creative and diligent Visual Design Lead, you will play a crucial role in driving the visual design direction of our high-profile projects, with a particular focus on web and digital products. You will work closely with designers and interdisciplinary teams to refine their skills and push the creative envelope, ensuring high-quality outputs and consistent innovation.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Support the Creative Director with conceiving and guiding projects that align with the strategic goals of the agency, contributing to impactful work that resonates on a global scale.
  • Direct and deliver high-quality creative outputs across a spectrum of projects, including websites, digital products, social media content, and branding, ensuring they meet client and agency standards.
  • Generate and execute compelling design concepts that elevate the brand presence of our clients while adhering to their strategic objectives.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a highly experienced and skilled Visual Design Lead who can inspire and be hands-on across a variety of projects. The ideal candidate will have:

  • 7+ years working in a creative agency setting focused on creating interfaces, large-scale digital experiences, or applications, with a strong focus on user experience.
  • Previous roles such as Art Director, Senior Designer or Lead Visual Designer, with a proven track record of leading large-scale projects.
  • A strong portfolio showcasing expertise in web design, digital media, brand campaigns, and a keen eye for aesthetic and functional design.
  • Extensive knowledge of current UI/UX trends and best practices.
  • A commitment to mentoring junior creatives, helping them develop their design skills and conceptual thinking.
  • Excellent communication skills, capable of constructing compelling narratives around your ideas and presenting them convincingly to both the team and clients.
  • Organizational prowess, able to manage multiple projects and iterate quickly in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
  • Technical proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and familiarity with motion design tools and principles.
  • A collaborative spirit, eager to work closely with cross-disciplinary teams to craft innovative solutions.
  • A curiosity and eagerness to innovate, continuously exploring new tools and techniques to advance your craft.
Workplace Culture

We believe in the best of both worlds. As part of our hybrid work culture, you'll have the chance to collaborate with our team in our vibrant office a few times a week. We're not your typical 9-5 punch-in, punch-out job. We thrive in the ebb and flow to accommodate the evolving dynamics of our work. If you can embrace the freedom to work autonomously while adapting to the changing demands of our project life cycles, this is the right place for you.

Compensation

Compensation is determined by years of experience and proven previous success in this role, level of expertise in the skills needed to perform this role at the highest level, and cost of living in your area of residency.

EEO Statement

We're committed to designing a better world and believe this goal can only be advanced by a team that is committed to diversity, represents different cultures, perspectives, and backgrounds, and prioritizes inclusivity as a pillar of our company culture.

We're an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate based on race, color, ethnicity, ancestry, national origin, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information, marital status, or any legally protected status.
