About the role

As a Senior Designer, you will play a key role in shaping and evolving brand identities, design systems, and visual ecosystems across touchpoints. This role requires exceptional art direction skills and a strong command of AI-driven content creation, particularly in shaping photographic and image-based visual systems within scalable brand platforms.

You’ll lead concept development, translating strategic insights into distinctive brand worlds, identity systems, and flexible visual frameworks that extend beyond campaign-driven work. You will define and articulate clear visual territories, establishing mood, tone, casting sensibility, composition, and narrative direction, embedding these principles into long-term brand foundations rather than one-off executions.

  • Develop high-level creative concepts with minimal oversight, bringing fresh, unexpected ideas to the table.
  • Lead the development of concept-driven brand identities and scalable design systems.
  • Define forward-thinking art direction frameworks that guide photography, image-making, and content ecosystems across brand platforms.
  • Translate strategic narratives into distinctive, ownable visual languages that flex across digital, physical, and content environments.
  • Establish clear visual territories through mood systems, reference frameworks, compositional principles, and narrative guidelines.
  • Collaborate across disciplines—including strategy, copywriting, motion, and technology—to build holistic brand experiences.
  • Distinguish between campaign-driven design and long-term brand ecosystems, adapting your approach accordingly.
  • Create multi-faceted design deliverables, from brand audits and identity systems to retail experiences and CRM campaigns.
  • Balance multiple projects and clients, delivering compelling creative solutions on tight deadlines.
  • Create inspiring, provocative, and disruptive work that elevates brands and engages audiences.
  • Leverage AI-powered content creation tools to concept, visualize, and prototype brand directions and scalable content systems.
  • Help define best practices for integrating AI into the brand design and conceptual development process in a craft-driven and responsible way.
  • Elevate the team’s art direction capabilities, particularly in photography and AI-enabled image creation.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in an agency, design studio, or related creative field.
  • Deep understanding of the creative process—beyond just campaign execution and production design.
  • Ability to work independently while contributing meaningfully to a collaborative team environment.
  • Strong design sensibility, with an ability to craft visually stunning and strategically sound work.
  • Expert proficiency in Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
  • Proven experience developing brand identities and design systems, not just campaign-level creative.
  • Strong command of photographic language, visual storytelling, and contemporary content aesthetics.
  • Demonstrated proficiency with AI-powered content, prompting and image generation platforms such as Nano Bananna, Runway, Firefly, or similar, with the ability to integrate them into scalable brand and content workflows.
  • Outstanding organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to work seamlessly with strategists, producers, developers, and writers.
  • Experience in motion design or 3D is a plus.
