About The Position

This is a role for a visionary visual storyteller. We are looking for a Lead Visual Designer who loves pushing their thinking and taking it through to production. You'll flex in your role from pitching ideas to crafting web experiences to ensuring successful delivery. You know how to make people fall in love with an idea, and you have the technical craft to turn that vision into a world-class web platform. You'll flex from abstract campaign concepts to designing the actual customer surfaces—from marketing platforms and digital products to next-generation, multimodal AI experiences. Working with the likes of Google, Snap, and the BBC, as well as disruptive startups, you will ensure that every big creative idea translates into an amazing, high-fidelity customer experience.

Requirements

• Creative Visionary – A proven track record of award-winning conceptual design, possessing the rare ability to see the "big picture" creative hook without losing sight of product execution.
• Product Marketing Savvy – You understand how audiences interact with brands online. You know how to design web platforms that don’t just function flawlessly, but actively drive adoption, engagement, and market excitement.
• Master Storyteller & Pitcher – Exceptional client-facing presentation skills. You can visualize an idea rapidly, build an inspiring narrative around it, and pitch it with conviction.
• Platform-Minded Architect – Deep mastery of Figma, visual hierarchy, typography, layout, and responsive frameworks. You build scalable design systems, not just one-off pages.
• AI-Native Mindset – Confident designing for intelligent, adaptive, and context-aware systems. Enthusiastic about using AI creative tools to accelerate rapid concepting and prototyping.
• Motion & Interaction Driven – Able to bring experiences to life and communicate interaction models through motion tools (e.g., After Effects, ProtoPie) or code.
• 8+ years of experience in digital/interactive design within a top-tier creative agency, design consultancy, or fast-paced in-house brand/product team.
• Proven experience leading pitches and winning new business through visionary design concepts.
• Strong portfolio that showcases: High-level conceptual thinking and rapid prototyping. Elite web platform design and digital product marketing experiences. Exceptional taste in typography, color, layout, and data visualization. Case studies showing how a creative concept successfully translated into a live, scalable digital experience.
• Understanding of AI concepts (conversational surfaces, multimodal interfaces, agentic systems) and how to market/design for them.
• Knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) and localization best practices.

Responsibilities

• Bridge Product & Marketing: Lead the creative direction for high-impact web platforms, seamlessly connecting product utility with powerful brand storytelling and market positioning.
• Own the Pitch: Act as a creative spearhead in growth and client pitches, turning complex business challenges into visionary, narrative-driven design concepts that win rooms and inspire stakeholders.
• Design Beautiful Experiences: Translate bold, differentiated ideas into world-class client-facing deliverables, focusing on UI design, responsive frameworks, visual design systems, and interactive prototypes.
• Craft the Narrative: Create compelling presentation decks and prototypes, communicating the strategic thought and "why" behind your creative choices to C-suite clients and cross-functional teams.
• Collaborate Across Disciplines: Work fluidly with UX designers, product strategists, engineers, data scientists, and copywriters to ensure conceptual ideas are grounded in technical reality and seamless UX.
• Mentor & Elevate: Guide other designers, fostering a culture of bold creative experimentation, inclusivity, and continuous AI upskilling.
