Résumé du poste

SketchDeck is hiring a Design Director to lead creative work across campaigns for enterprise clients from a remote-first studio. You will mentor designers, shape brand direction, and collaborate with project managers to deliver high-impact work on tight timelines.

You bring 7+ years in creative direction, a track record with large accounts, and expert-level skills in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma. This fully remote role offers strong compensation and growth opportunities.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of creative and art direction experience, including at least 4 in a fast-paced agency environment.
• Proven ability to lead strategic, cross-channel creative work—from concept to execution—across marketing, branding, and communications
• Strong communicator with the ability to shape and share a compelling creative vision that aligns with business goals
• Seasoned people leader with a track record of mentoring creative teams, inspiring innovation, and delivering impactful work on time and within budget
• Collaborative by nature—you thrive in team settings and work closely with project managers, developers, and QA to bring ideas to life
• Demonstrated success working with large, enterprise-level clients, understanding their complex needs and delivering standout solutions

Responsabilités

• Partner with Project Managers on project scoping and estimates on higher creative projects
• Support larger corporate accounts with fast-paced deadlines
• Lead kick-off calls (internal/external), creative presentations and problem-solving meetings with clients, Project Managers and Designers
• Feel comfortable brainstorming ideas live during client calls. Think quickly during client conversations, proposing creative ideas, asking focused questions, and adapting recommendations as new information emerges
• Shift efficiently between accounts and tasks, reassessing priorities and communicating tradeoffs as needs change
• Identify which projects could benefit from high-level strategic input vs. more production-focused projects that could be led by a Brand Manager
• Communication/coordination of project needs, timelines, team skills and creative staff availability with Project Managers
• Set up briefs, provide creative direction and inspiration to the design team on projects
• Work with the Project Manager defining workflow and scope of work for the team
• Lead communication from brainstorm to final production
• Provide creative reviews and feedback to designers
• Decide who should work on each project, building collaborative and strategy-led teams for creative projects
