Lead Designer

Responsibilities

• Own design output across the client portfolio, from initial concept through final delivery
• Translate loose direction into several distinct creative directions quickly, allowing clients to react, combine, and select ideas
• Produce brand-caliber creative for national accounts, with a visual standard comparable to work from a large agency
• Maintain quality control across all design work leaving the agency, including reviewing and elevating work produced by other team members
• Ensure consistency and accuracy across copy, specifications, calls to action, and brand guidelines
• Partner closely with the technical lead on projects that move from design into development or production

Requirements

• A strong portfolio demonstrating conceptual range, finished polish, and experience working on projects with meaningful brand stakes
• Senior-level conceptual ability, with the confidence to begin from a blank page and generate multiple creative options from an idea or broad visual direction
• The ability to work quickly and consistently, producing strong first drafts that require refinement rather than a complete redesign
• Genuine fluency with AI creative tools and a demonstrable process for using them to generate concepts, evaluate outputs, and develop finished creative
• A strong client-facing presence, with the ability to present, defend, and adjust creative work when engaging with senior marketing stakeholders
