At Loka, you will help cut problems and create solutions that matter for a wide range of audiences.
From here, we are looking for a Design Lead who is exceptionally sharp in communication design, highly organized, and obsessive about clarity. This is a hands‑on lead role where you will create design work and raise the standard for how design decisions get made at Loka.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the design of high‑impact sales and marketing assets that help Loka communicate clearly and win more business
- Collaborate with sales to create polished presentations, one‑pagers, playbooks, flyers, social posts, blog designs and other communication materials that support business development and revenue efforts
- Turn complex ideas into sharp, persuasive visual communication (this is services, not product)
- Design materials that support both brand awareness and brand affinity, while staying grounded in what actually helps move work forward
Brand Systems & Creative Quality
- Build, evolve, and refine visual systems that help Loka stay consistent while continuing to grow
- Maintain and improve brand guidelines, templates, and reusable assets
- Raise the bar for quality, clarity, and design judgment across everything the team produces
- Ensure every design choice supports a communication goal, not just an aesthetic preference
- Operate as a working lead, not just a reviewer or approver
- Partner closely with the CMO in the beginning, then increasingly take ownership of decisions and direction within the first 6 months
- Help make the work better, the decisions better, and the overall design function stronger
- Bring strong creative point of view while staying collaborative, practical, and open
- Work closely with marketing, sales, and cross‑functional teams like engineering and HX to bring ideas to life
- Manage multiple moving pieces without letting details slip
- Keep files, workflows, timelines, and systems organized in a fast‑moving environment
- Communicate clearly and proactively with stakeholders across time zones
AI‑Enabled Design Workflow
- Use AI and agent‑based tools thoughtfully to accelerate research, iteration, drafting, and workflow efficiency
- Speak clearly about how you scale your work with tools like Claude or GPT, while understanding their limitations
- Apply judgment about what should be automated, what should be assisted, and what still needs a human eye and brain
What You Bring
- 5+ years of experience in brand, communication, marketing, or enablement design
- Exceptional visual design skills and strong design judgment
- A deep understanding of communication design and how to make information clear, compelling, and memorable
- Experience creating presentations, one‑pagers, sales assets, and other business‑critical materials
- Experience in services, consulting, or client‑service environments, not just product companies
- Strong systems thinking and experience refining templates, guidelines, or repeatable design structures
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple fast‑moving priorities
- Curiosity about AI‑enabled workflows and good judgment about their limitations
- Comfort working across teams and time zones with at least 4 hours of overlap with US West Coast
