Job Description
Senior Designer
AKQA
• Lead with maker energy. Drive design, craft, and execution with pace and pride, raising the bar on every visual, system, and experience, and pushing visuals to be bolder, clearer, and more culturally relevant. • Think in systems, not assets. Build identities and design languages that scale across channels and evolve over time. Create rules and rhythms, not just one-off screens. • Craft with obsession. Sweat the details: spacing, alignment, type, transitions, iconography, accessibility, responsiveness. Your work should feel authored, intentional and world-class. • Design beyond the screen. Bring the same design intelligence to environments, packaging, content ecosystems, installations and tech-enabled experiences. Understand how a brand behaves in the real world. • Make work that travels. Create a design with PR potential: iconic, ownable, culturally legible. Understand what will land locally in MENA and what will travel globally. • Own the process end-to-end. From early explorations and mood boards to design development, artworking, production files and QA, you shepherd quality through every phase. • Collaborate like a modern designer. Work fluidly with writers, strategists, creative directors, technologists, makers, AI tools and the broader AKQA network. Invite critique and use friction to sharpen outcomes. • Present with clarity and taste. Tell the design story: the rationale, the system, the choices and the craft, guiding clients through what matters and why it works. • Guard the standard. Be accountable for every deliverable. Ensure every layout, screen, prototype, deck page and asset meets AKQA's global level and reflects the studio's ambition.
