About the role

  • Quality consistency at scale: Every deliverable meets brand standards, feels intentional, and doesn’t trigger “who approved this?” energy
  • On-time delivery: Priorities are clear, deadlines are realistic, and the team ships predictably
  • Team performance: Designers are productive, improving, and not quietly drowning
  • Client confidence: Clients feel like they have a real Senior Web & Visual Designer and leader, not “a random designer who happens to be online.”
  • Set and maintain creative standards for the team (layout, typography, motion, brand fit, polish)
  • Translate messy briefs into clear direction designers can execute fast
  • Establish reusable systems: templates, component libraries, brand kits, best-practice examples
  • Review work before it goes out: catch obvious errors and the subtle “this is technically fine but feels off.”
  • Coach designers through feedback so quality improves over time (not just “fix it and move on”).
  • Define what “great” looks like per client and per deliverable type
  • Triage incoming requests: simple vs complex, urgency, dependencies, and risk
  • Assign work to the right person based on skill, bandwidth, and client context
  • Unblock work fast (missing assets, unclear scope, conflicting feedback, shifting priorities)
  • Communicate early when something is at risk and propose options (scope trims, phased delivery, alternates)
  • Join key client calls when needed: onboarding, brand alignment, escalations, quarterly reviews
  • Proactively spot gaps (brand inconsistency, missing guidelines, recurring request types) and fix them
  • Turn client feedback into better systems, not endless back-and-forth
  • Lead weekly team syncs: wins, blockers, priorities, and improvements
  • Run feedback loops: 1:1 coaching, skill development plans, targeted training
  • Maintain team morale and momentum while holding a high bar
  • Improve briefing quality through better questions, examples, and guardrails
  • Identify recurring friction (brief issues, QA issues, tool issues) and propose fixes
  • Collaborate with production/customer success on workflows, expectations, and escalation paths

Requirements

  • 5+ years in design with 1–3+ years leading creatives (agency, subscription, or in-house)
  • Technical Fluency: Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Figma, and Canva
  • Communication: Strong English skills (spoken and written)
  • Art Direction: Strong brand judgment, typography, composition, and art direction skills
  • Reviewer Mindset: Your feedback is specific, actionable, and fast
  • Calm Operator Energy: You keep quality high under load and manage multiple brands/projects at once
  • Nice-to-haves: Experience in design subscriptions, high-volume studios, or production environments
  • Motion/video direction experience (After Effects, Premiere, etc.)
  • Experience building scalable design systems or brand kits
  • Familiarity with project tools like Trello, Asana, or Jira
Benefits
  • Paid Time Off: 15 PTO days + 10 unpaid days + 2 sick days (after 6 months)
  • Incentives: Performance bonuses, work anniversary gifts, and career growth
  • Flexibility: 100% permanent remote work with an async-friendly culture
