About the Company

BigBrainCo is a dynamic digital agency that helps brands and content creators strengthen their online presence through innovative strategy, content creation, and data-driven insights. The company works with diverse clients across industries, developing and executing impactful social media campaigns that connect creative quality with measurable audience and business outcomes. Our team combines strategic thinking, visual storytelling, production capabilities, and performance awareness to deliver work across major digital platforms. Designers contribute directly to how clients are represented online, translating brand goals and campaign requirements into clear, engaging, and effective visual communication. Because the agency manages multiple accounts and formats, the work offers exposure to varied industries, creative challenges, and evolving brand systems. BigBrainCo values ownership, collaboration, speed, consistency, and continuous improvement. This role will join a creative environment where strong design judgment is trusted, high-visibility work is visible to clients and internal leaders, and better systems are encouraged to improve quality and delivery across the wider team.

About the Role

The Senior Graphic Designer owns BigBrainCo’s most demanding and high-visibility design work across client accounts while delivering the full range of visual assets required for social and content campaigns. You will design YouTube thumbnails, Instagram creatives and carousels, brand kits, style guides, reusable templates, and motion-supporting assets. The role combines hands-on execution with advanced creative judgment, ensuring every output is visually strong, platform-appropriate, brand-consistent, and aligned with performance goals such as click-through rate and audience engagement. You will review junior designers’ work, mentor newer team members, and help establish stronger design systems, SOPs, and file workflows. Close collaboration with video editing and production teams will ensure consistency between static, motion, and narrative formats. This is a growth-track opportunity for a designer ready to own complex accounts, improve how the team works, and build toward leading the Graphic Design function.

Key Responsibilities

• Own high-visibility design across client accounts, translating complex briefs into clear visual solutions that strengthen brand presence, audience engagement, and campaign performance.
• Design click-worthy YouTube thumbnails for scheduled uploads, using strong composition, hierarchy, branding, and performance awareness to support channel growth and improve CTR.
• Create Instagram static creatives and carousels that follow platform best practices while preserving visual hierarchy, brand identity, readability, and consistent audience communication.
• Build and maintain client brand kits and style guides covering typography, colour palettes, logo usage, and design language as the single source of visual truth.
• Develop editable social templates that accelerate recurring content production, reduce avoidable rework, and help the wider team deliver consistent output across accounts.
• Review junior and associate designers’ work, provide actionable feedback, and support onboarding and capability development before work reaches the Creative Head.
• Improve design SOPs, file management, and workflows while collaborating with video and production teams to maintain visual and narrative consistency across formats.

Essential Skills & Technologies

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, with a portfolio demonstrating strong thumbnails, social creatives, brand identity systems, and visual communication across multiple formats.
• Working knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro or motion design workflows, enabling effective collaboration with video editors and production teams on crossover creative requirements.
• Strong understanding of YouTube and Instagram design requirements, including visual hierarchy, mobile readability, platform conventions, brand consistency, and creative decisions that support CTR.
• Demonstrated ability to build and maintain brand kits or style guides across multiple clients or brands, keeping guidance current and usable by the wider team.
• Advanced design judgment with the independence to solve complex creative briefs, manage competing priorities, and deliver polished work with minimal oversight.
• Clear, constructive communication skills for reviewing junior designers’ work, explaining design decisions, and giving feedback that improves quality and capability.

Additional Plus

• Prior experience in a digital, social media, or creative agency environment managing multiple client brands and fast-moving production schedules.
• Experience mentoring junior designers, contributing to team standards, or preparing for formal ownership of a Graphic Design function.
• Familiarity with performance-led creative thinking, including using audience response, content objectives, and campaign outcomes to inform visual decisions.

What You'll Bring

• You bring 4–6 years of graphic design experience, ideally gained in an agency environment where multiple brands, deadlines, and creative standards must be managed at the same time. Your portfolio should show strong YouTube thumbnails, Instagram creatives and carousels, brand identity work, reusable templates, and motion or motion-adjacent design.
• You are highly proficient in Photoshop and Illustrator and understand how platform context changes the way visual work should be structured, read, and evaluated. You can design for click-through rate, attention, clarity, and brand impact rather than aesthetics alone.
• You are comfortable building brand kits and style guides, identifying outdated guidance, and making visual systems practical for a wider team. You work independently on complex briefs, communicate decisions clearly, and maintain quality under delivery pressure.
• You are also ready to review junior designers’ work with specific, respectful feedback and support their development. Most importantly, you bring ownership, sharp visual judgment, operational discipline, and the ambition to grow into a future Graphic Design team lead.

Why Join Us

• Own the agency’s most complex and high-visibility design work from day one, with direct influence on how diverse brands appear and perform across digital platforms.
• Follow a clear growth path toward leading the Graphic Design team while building leadership experience through mentorship, quality review, and design systems ownership.
• Build a varied portfolio spanning YouTube thumbnails, social campaigns, brand systems, reusable templates, motion collaboration, and high-impact client work.
• Work in a collaborative, creative, and high-energy environment where strong ideas, practical improvements, and accountable execution are valued.

What We Offer

• Full-time Senior Graphic Designer opportunity based in Mumbai, with ownership of high-visibility client work and meaningful creative responsibility.
• Broad exposure to brands and content creators across industries, enabling portfolio growth across social, branding, thumbnails, templates, and motion collaboration.
• Structured opportunity to influence design workflows, mentor junior talent, and progress toward leading the Graphic Design team.
• Collaborative agency culture with cross-functional exposure to strategy, content creation, video editing, production, and data-informed campaign execution.
