About The Role
We are looking for an ambitious, highly conceptual, and hands-on Senior Designer, Creative to help shape the visual future of our expanding brand portfolio. Operating out of our global headquarters in Needham, MA, this role is built for a visual storyteller who thrives at the intersection of premium brand design, digital commerce, and rapid execution.
Qualifications
- 5+ Years of Graphic/Digital Design Experience: Proven track record within a fast-paced creative agency or a high-velocity in-house creative department (direct experience with consumer goods, lifestyle, or DTC brands is highly preferred).
- An Elite, Multi-Channel Portfolio: Demonstrates exceptional conceptual thinking, top-tier typography, master-level digital layouts, and a deep understanding of packaging design, motion graphics/social content, and e-commerce ecosystems.
- A Systems Thinker: A proven ability to look at a product launch and build a comprehensive visual toolkit that a whole team can run with, rather than just designing isolated ads.
- Advanced Mastery of Modern Design Tools: Expert-level fluency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and Figma.
- A strong curiosity and active, hands-on passion for utilizing generative AI tools to accelerate the concepting phase.
- Thrives on Velocity: Highly adaptable, prolific with design options, and energized by tight deadlines.
What You’ll Do
- Build Scalable Visual Ecosystems: Think in design systems, not single assets. Create cohesive visual platforms that transition seamlessly across Packaging, DTC websites, Amazon storefronts, Retail displays, platform-native Paid Social (TikTok, Meta), and Experiential events.
- Drive Big-Idea Conceptualization: Partner daily with copywriters and art directors to brainstorm and execute breakthrough, multi-channel campaign concepts that solve real business challenges and elevate brand perception.
- Lead Design Execution & Craft: Maintain an exceptionally high bar for typography, layout, color theory, and asset creation, ensuring your assigned brand maintains a premium, consistent, and culturally relevant identity globally.
- Champion an AI-Native Workflow: Boldly integrate Figma, advanced AI asset-generation platforms, and emerging design tools into your daily process to remove mechanical friction, explore wider creative directions, and rapidly prototype visual concepts.
- Direct Production and Assets: Assist in prep and art direction for photo and video shoots, and lead the post-production design execution to ensure final assets match the original strategic and visual intent.
- Mentor & Elevate Talent: Act as a leader and culture-carrier in the Needham studio, guiding junior-to-mid level designers, sharing design best practices, and fostering a collaborative, high-velocity creative environment.
