Creative Designer

tmp helps B2B marketing leaders create coherence in a chaotic world. We're looking for obsessively curious people to join 300 B2B experts across strategy, data, creative, media, client services, sales activation, and shared services. Different skills brought together in integrated teams, centered around our clients: the world's most impactful tech companies.

About the role

This is for designers who care how things work, not just how they look. We're looking for a creative designer hungry to make the role their own. Someone who is fascinated by ideas, can tell visual stories, and wants to be the person who articulates them clearly and enthusiastically across all mediums. You'll join a team of highly dedicated art directors, designers, strategists, and writers with different but complementary skills delivering ideas-based creativity for ambitious global brands. You'll play your part in solving with ideas and take a major role in how they come to life, delivering them with clarity and craft.

We're looking for someone with energy and hunger — a creative designer who gets excited by great thinking, wants to be part of making it real, and takes pride in improving everything they touch. You'll be a trusted pair of hands who brings enthusiasm, builds conceptual ideas, pushes projects forward, and strengthens the creative team around them.

Responsibilities

• Own the work in front of you
  • Take briefs and move them forward through thinking and doing, not waiting for everything to be solved
  • Deliver creative work that shows understanding of the idea, not just the instruction
  • Take responsibility for quality, accuracy, and final output of everything you touch
• Turn ideas into real-world creative
  • Translate creative thinking into practical, effective design systems and assets
  • Apply campaign ideas across formats including digital, OOH, sales enablement, and brand touchpoints
  • Adapt designs intelligently across formats rather than simply resizing
• Know how delivery gets done
  • Own projects and workstreams with light senior oversight
  • Help shepherd work through the studio, ensuring creative intent survives production
  • Sometimes take ownership of rollout and detail-heavy execution
• Collaborate like a creative, not a supplier
  • Work directly with copywriters, strategists, and creatives to continually strengthen the work
  • Contribute to discussions with opinions and constructively challenge those around you
  • Present work clearly and explain the thinking behind the design choices you make
• Care about craft (even when the work isn't glamorous)
  • Treat every task as a design problem, not just a task to be completed
  • Bring the same high level of care to everything you touch
  • Sweat the basics so others don't have to
• Build in the work
  • Look for opportunities to improve what's in front of you
  • Bring references, ideas, and inspiration into projects
  • Show the obvious solution — and the better version when the opportunity is there

Requirements

This role is not for someone who is happy with the status quo, just wants tasks, or only wants to work on the hero work moments. You'll love this role if you want to shape the work you touch, help build with ideas, and earn your progression through impact.

• Curious and proactive, you want to understand why something exists before you design it
• Hungry to improve, you look for ways to make things better rather than just complete tasks
• Communicative and open, comfortable asking questions and talking through your thinking
• Proud of your craft, with high personal standards regardless of how visible the work is
• Energized by responsibility and motivated by becoming someone the team can rely on
• Comfortable with direct feedback and motivated by getting better, not being right
• Someone who shows up, gets involved, and wants to be part of building something good

Qualifications

• 2+ years agency experience and comfort working in a fast-moving creative environment
• A portfolio showing strong design fundamentals, campaign thinking, and brand application
• Evidence you can develop visual routes and apply ideas across multiple formats
• Experience working from creative direction and translating ideas into finished work
• Strong knowledge of core design tools (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, or similar)
• Experience collaborating with writers and strategists to develop creative work

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Pre-tax flexible spending account (FSA) - healthcare, dependent care, and transit available
• 4% 401(k) contribution with no vesting period
• Plentiful paid time off (recommended minimum of 20 days)
• 15 days of sick leave annually
• Holiday shutdown (December 26th - 29th)
• Parental leave:
  • Primary caregiver: 12 weeks full pay and then 12 weeks 50% pay
  • Secondary caregiver: 12 weeks full pay
• Access to Unmind: well-being platform, including access to therapists and coaches
• Employer-funded life, AD&D, and disability insurance
• Company getaways (local office holiday parties and international trips)

Salary range: $65,000 - $80,000

Not sure you tick every box? Apply anyway. Research shows some people hold back unless they meet 100% of the requirements. We do not want that to be you. At tmp, we hire for potential, mindset, and character as much as experience. If you are excited about the role but your background is not a perfect match, we would still love to hear from you. You might be exactly what we are looking for, either for this role or another. Diversity equals increased creativity, which equals better results for all. We're committed to equality of opportunity and applications from all individuals are encouraged.
