Job description

Company description

We're a team of makers and dreamers, turning strategic ideas into flawless retail executions. We collaborate closely with our clients to elevate the expected and embrace the new, the next, and the complex.

Nothing is impossible— If you can shop it, we can do it.

Overview

At Saatchi X, Visual Designers create simple, bold, unmistakably on‑brand work across integrated omnichannel campaigns. We believe strong ideas deserve strong craft—and that great design happens when curious, opinionated people collaborate across disciplines to make work that actually connects.

Designers here are makers first—strong visual thinkers who execute beautifully and bring energy, curiosity, and care to every assignment.While the role is rooted in strong visual design fundamentals, an understanding of motion design and how static concepts translate into engaging animated experiences is highly valued.

As a mid‑level Visual Designer, you’ll support work for a large, highly regulated financial institution, operating confidently within established brand systems while elevating the work through exceptional typography, composition, and executional discipline.

This role is for designers who nerd out over type, care deeply about layout, and believe great ideas only land when the craft is just as strong.

Responsibilities

• Design visual assets for integrated omnichannel campaigns across retail, digital, print, and presentations
• Execute highly crafted design from established creative direction
• Own typography decisions across layouts—headlines, subheads, body copy, captions
• Build clear, intuitive type hierarchies and strong compositions
• Develop motion design concepts and lightweight animations that bring campaign ideas to life across digital, social, presentation, and retail environments
• Sweat the details: kerning, leading, spacing, rhythm, balance
• Build mood boards, storyboards, visual explorations, layouts, and design systems
• Prepare clean, production‑ready files with pride in craft and organization
• Partner closely with copywriters, motion designers, and production teams to ensure cohesive visual storytelling across static and motion executions
• Show up to brainstorms, critiques, and reviews with ideas—and opinions
• Manage multiple projects while keeping quality high

Qualifications

• ~3 years of professional visual design experience (agency or in‑house)
• A strong portfolio demonstrating confidence in typography, layout, execution, and, ideally, motion design thinking
• Fluency in Adobe Creative Suite; Figma experience a plus
• Experience with motion design and animation principles, with working knowledge of After Effects or similar motion design tools
• Comfort designing across channels and formats
  (Retail‑forward experience is a strong plus)
• Strong attention to detail and excellent organizational habits
• Ability to move quickly without sacrificing craft or quality
