Senior Graphic Designer

Spot & Tango • New York, NY

3d • Hybrid

About The Position

As an early member of Spot & Tango’s Creative team, you’ll play a key role in shaping how our brand shows up across every touchpoint. You’re a senior-level graphic designer with exceptional taste, strong fundamentals, and the confidence to take projects from “rough idea” to “nailed it.” You’re equally comfortable executing pixel-perfect layouts and stepping back to think about visual hierarchy, storytelling, and brand consistency. You thrive in environments where expectations may be broad one day and highly specific the next—and you know how to move work forward regardless. You’re proactive, organized, and naturally fill in gaps before they’re pointed out. While your background is rooted in graphic design, you also enjoy dabbling in art direction and creative production—and you’re excited to grow in that space. You will report directly to the Creative Director and work day-to-day with a tight-knit group of creatives and marketers.
