Role Description We're looking for a senior-level Lead Designer to own creative output across a digital agency's client portfolio and set the standard for all design work.

Qualifications - A strong portfolio demonstrating conceptual range, finished polish, and experience working on projects with meaningful brand stakes. - Senior-level conceptual ability, with the confidence to begin from a blank page and generate multiple creative options from an idea or broad visual direction. - The ability to work quickly and consistently, producing strong first drafts that require refinement rather than a complete redesign. - Genuine fluency with AI creative tools and a demonstrable process for using them to generate concepts, evaluate outputs, and develop finished creative. - Strong client-facing presence, with the ability to present, defend, and adjust creative work when engaging with senior marketing stakeholders. Requirements - Required: Adobe Creative Suite, with real depth in Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop. - Required: Working fluency with current AI creative tooling and a demonstrable process for using it. - Strongly preferred: Figma, for UI and UX work and for collaboration with development. - A plus: Motion, animation, or video capability, and comfort with email design and build.
