About the role

Own the creative and strategic vision across content and publishing projects, ensuring design decisions are grounded in user needs, business objectives, and exceptional visual craft.
Lead and elevate the visual expression of client brands across digital experiences, ensuring a distinctive, high-craft aesthetic that differentiates our work in the market.
Partner directly with clients to understand their goals, co-create solutions, and confidently present work in pitches and reviews.
Facilitate collaborative workshops and guide design processes that turn insights and feedback into refined, high-impact outcomes.
Unite cross-functional teams (UX, engineering, design, and content strategy) with strong communication and adaptability in a fast-paced, remote agency environment.
Push creative boundaries through thoughtful experimentation and innovative editorial and digital storytelling.
Serve as the most senior leader of Fueled's Visual and User Experience Design functions within its Content and Digital Publishing-focused practice area, responsible for both elevation of craft and day-to-day agency business needs like staffing and hiring.

8+ years in product design with a portfolio that demonstrates range — from UX strategy and research synthesis to visually exceptional, high-craft execution.
Experience designing enterprise-level digital products in content publishing, e-commerce, or SaaS environments.
Fluent across visual design, UX, and research, and lead with strong creative instinct while maintaining an uncompromising eye for detail.
Strong perspective on the processes, systems, and philosophies that help differentiate "good" visual and UX design work from "great" in an agency environment.
Experience building modular design systems and working within CMS platforms such as WordPress, Sanity, or Webflow.
Mentor and grow designers at all levels, elevating both individual capability and overall team quality.
Additional creative range — illustration, motion design, branding/identity, or print experience is a plus.
Experience building and scaling visual design and UX teams in an agency environment: defining team culture, establishing and standardizing best practices, and implementing systems that improve the consistency and scalability of creative output.
Track record of helping elevate an agency's positioning as a premium design partner, whether through collaboration with marketing on brand and positioning, direct thought leadership, or both.
