About The Position

A Senior Designer is far more than a maker of beautiful things. They are a systems thinker, visual storyteller, and cultural contributor who helps shape the worlds brands live within. This role blends conceptual creativity, strategic thinking, and elevated design thinking to create cohesive brand experiences that move fluidly across every touchpoint, platform, and medium. As a Senior Designer, you will help translate strategy into living, breathing brand systems. You’ll collaborate across disciplines to build work that is not only visually compelling, but emotionally resonant, scalable, and culturally relevant. From identity systems and campaigns to environments, motion, digital experiences, and emerging platforms, you will help create work that pushes beyond traditional design expectations. The ideal candidate thrives in an energetic, collaborative environment and is excited by both the precision of craft and the ambiguity of possibility. You are equally comfortable concepting big ideas, refining typography, presenting your work internally to director level team leaders, mentoring teammates, and helping shape the future of the department itself.
