About The Role

As a Senior Designer, you will play a key role in shaping and evolving brand identities, design systems, and visual ecosystems across touchpoints. This role requires exceptional art direction skills and a strong command of AI‑driven content creation, particularly in shaping photographic and image‑based visual systems within scalable brand platforms.

You’ll lead concept development, translating strategic insights into distinctive brand worlds, identity systems, and flexible visual frameworks that extend beyond campaign‑driven work. You will define and articulate clear visual territories, establishing mood, tone, casting sensibility, composition, and narrative direction, embedding these principles into long‑term brand foundations rather than one‑off executions.

• Define forward‑thinking art direction frameworks that guide photography, image‑making, and content ecosystems across brand platforms.
• Translate strategic narratives into distinctive, ownable visual languages that flex across digital, physical, and content environments.
• Establish clear visual territories through mood systems, reference frameworks, compositional principles, and narrative guidelines.
• Collaborate across disciplines—including strategy, copywriting, motion, and technology—to build holistic brand experiences.
• Distinguish between campaign‑driven design and long‑term brand ecosystems, adapting your approach accordingly.
• Create multi‑faceted design deliverables, from brand audits and identity systems to retail experiences and CRM campaigns.
• Balance multiple projects and clients, delivering compelling creative solutions on tight deadlines.
• Produce inspiring, provocative, and disruptive work that elevates brands and engages audiences.
• Leverage AI‑powered content creation tools to concept, visualize, and prototype brand directions and scalable content systems.
• Help define best practices for integrating AI into the brand design and conceptual development process in a craft‑driven and responsible way.
• Elevate the team’s art direction capabilities, particularly in photography and AI‑enabled image creation.

• Ability to work independently while contributing meaningfully to a collaborative team environment.
• Strong design sensibility, with an ability to craft visually stunning and strategically sound work.
• Expert proficiency in Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
• Proven experience developing brand identities and design systems, not just campaign‑level creative.
