Job description

Lead Visual Designer

Work Mode: Work From Office (5 days)

What We’re Looking For

• A strong graphic and visual design portfolio. This can get the conversation started.
• 5–7 years of experience in visual design, graphic design, brand design and digital design.
• A deep understanding of visual design fundamentals: layout, typography, color, hierarchy, composition, balance, and detail.
• Good understanding of how motion works, including transitions, interaction, pacing, animation thinking, and how movement can make an experience feel more alive.
• Versatility in both thought and execution. You should be able to move across product UI, brand visuals, campaigns, website sections, decks, prototypes, and digital experiences.
• Strong hands‑on skills in Figma and other design tools needed to bring ideas to life.
• Ability to use AI tools to speed up exploration, generate directions, improve workflows, and reduce repetitive work.
• The taste to know when AI helps, and the judgment to know when craft still needs a human hand.
• Comfort working with a fast‑moving creative team where ideas evolve quickly and quality matters.
• Ability to take feedback well, give feedback clearly, and keep the work moving without making the process heavy.

What You’ll Do

• Create high‑quality visuals across brand, marketing, and customer‑facing experiences.
• Explore multiple creative directions and bring strong design thinking into each one.
• Web page designs, interfaces, graphics, prototypes, and visual systems that feel sharp, thoughtful, and well‑crafted.
• Bring motion thinking into your work, whether it’s for website experiences, storytelling, or animated concepts.
• Use AI practically in your daily workflow to move faster, test more ideas, and make execution smarter.
• Collaborate with designers, marketers, product managers, and engineers to turn ideas into polished work.
• Push the quality of design in the team by bringing strong taste, curiosity, and craft.
• Help maintain consistency across visuals while still making room for fresh ideas.

You’ll Fit Right In If

• You get excited by a blank canvas.
• You have strong opinions about design, but you’re still open to better ideas.
• You care about the tiny details most people miss.
• You can move fast without making the work feel rushed.
• You’re curious about AI, motion, systems, storytelling, and everything that makes design more powerful.
• You don’t just want to “finish tasks.” You want to make work that makes the team proud.
• You enjoy being around creative people who care, debate, experiment, and push each other to do better.

Benefits

• Work and learn from a talented team that is building an industry‑first solution.
• No rigid hierarchy, with a friendly environment that fosters creativity and innovation.
• A fully stocked delicious pantry with snacks, drinks and treats for you to enjoy.
• Sweat it out, sans cost with our fitness program that lets you choose any fitness centre of your choice.
• A fully covered medical insurance plan that will never make you grow sick of hospital bills.
• We are an equal‑opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
• And, one of the more popular office perks: four lovable dogs and one opinionated cat who are always around for attention, treats, and the occasional cameo in meetings.
