About The Position

The Senior Designer is a lead “maker” inside the ImagineCo Studio team. The role is charged with building diverse
visual products that visualize ideas, tell stories, communicate strategies, package research and insights, and
experiment with the development of tools to advance complex challenges. The role majors in creating design assets
as valuable work products and minors in a series of collaboration processes required to catalyze generative value
and new content. What it will feel like:
• Tell Extraordinary Stories as an Extraordinary Communicator - Leverage your powers as a graphic
designer and visual communicator to help the company articulate the value proposition of our methods,
programs, and nuanced approach to new ways of working and creating impact in the world. This is no typical
brochure. We are committed to conveying inspired stories about what is possible. For us, the process is
the project. So, we must create assets, tools, dynamic media, cultural artifacts, and compelling insights
that invite people into a signature operating system that builds alternative better futures.
• Blend Problem Framing, Strategy, and Making - Become a member of a growing studio that sees design
as an integration, marriage, and entanglement of an idea to action lifecycle. We see design as a practice. A
practice that blends problem framing (what most people skip over), strategy (what most people offer other
departments and think is "business"), and making (the joyful part of invention we as designers are taught in
school). This role invites you to have a voice in all three domains, not just the third.
• Build Out an Imagination Operation System of Design Methods - Contribute to the capacity building of
the studio by building out, not just bespoke needs, but the systematization of our design capabilities. This
means: Tools, Templates, and Toys. Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My! As we move from our Epic Decade
history to becoming ImagineCo, there is an opportunity to take our magical successful history of working
with companies like Apple and communities like Fort McMurray as singular customized expressions and
learn how to repeat our methods and insights without losing the magic. Being part of the design team means
experimenting with ways to build an operating system for our processes.
