We build brands for the experience era—creating unique, end-to-end brand experiences that connect across the customer journey. Our integrated in-house capabilities span strategy, creative, design, content, technology, and activation.

The Role

We’re seeking a Senior Designer to deliver world-class design and craft for our global clients. This is a unique opportunity for a design visionary who’s equally fluent in static and motion design—someone who thrives at the intersection of brand identity, storytelling, and dynamic digital experiences.

As a creative designer, you’ll create and deliver the vision for visual design excellence—elevating work across campaigns, brand systems, content, activations, and digital experiences. You’ll inspire clients to embrace bold, strategically grounded ideas that are emotionally resonant and visually unforgettable — work that moves audiences and drives real impact.

Key Responsibilities

Creative & Craft

• Development of brand systems, campaign aesthetics, visual identities, and motion-first storytelling from concept to execution and rollout
• Champion excellence in both static and motion design across brand touchpoints—print, digital, DOOH, social, activations
• Bring static creative to life through content, and push creative innovation using emerging tech like AI (e.g. Midjourney)
• Stay ahead of design, motion, and culture trends—making recommendations towards what’s next

Motion & Hybrid Execution (Not required but preference given to those)

Oversee hybrid output : typography, layout, kinetic type, animation, and short-form motion content

Guide brand videos, UI transitions, and social animations

Bring static creative to life through motion : brand films, UI motion, and interactive storytelling,

Push creative innovation using emerging tech like AI (e.g. Midjourney), motion tools, and 3D software

Ensure motion work aligns with and enhances static brand systems

Work with tools including After Effects, Premiere Pro, Cinema 4D (or Blender), and Figma motion plugins

Lead projects from briefing through final delivery—ensuring innovation, quality, and efficiency

Collaborate cross-functionally with creative directors, strategists, producers, and developers to deliver cohesive brand experiences

Strategic & Client Engagement

Translate client briefs and brand strategy into impactful, integrated design solutions

Present creative work confidently—articulating rationale with clarity and passion

Identify new channels, formats, and platforms to unlock unexpected expressions of brand storytelling

What We’re Looking For

Proven craft in visual design, ideally within an agency setting

Deep expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro), and Figma

Strong portfolio of brand identities, design systems, motion content, and digital experiences

Sharp eye for detail, movement, storytelling, and emotional resonance through design and sound

In-depth understanding of digital platforms, social formats, and production workflows

Calm, collaborative, and organized team member who thrives in a fast-paced, creative environment

Curiosity, ambition, and a future-facing mindset

Why Join Akcelo?

And we are just getting started. You see, we believe in magic, and value the genuine, the experimental, the limitless, and the imaginative. We make, break and build things, without the fear of failure, and we share our time and our talents. If that is something that excites you too, we want to hear from you!

Our team works collaboratively in office 4 days / week, work from anywhere wednesdays, and some travel within the US and Canada. We offer a competitive benefits package, including 4 weeks vacation, personal / sick days, and a global advantage where after your workplace anniversary, we provide opportunities to work for a week from our Sydney, Australia office; Vancouver, Canada office; or from wherever you want to tack on to your personal travel plans!
