About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Join sales calls early, often before a proposal is written, and help shape how we frame the work.
  • Listen for what a prospective client is actually asking for, identify where their stated problem and their real problem diverge, and contribute to the strategic thinking that wins the engagement.
  • Lead discovery once the work is signed. Run workshops, interview stakeholders, interrogate content and analytics, and shape the strategic direction before a single pixel moves.
  • Carry that thinking through concept, design system development, and production.
  • Stay hands-on through developer handoff and launch.
  • Specialize in digital experiences where content is central to the design problem: publishing platforms, knowledge repositories, complex marketing sites, and product interfaces tied to editorial workflows.
  • Lead brand conversations when the scope calls for it. Brand literacy is expected, even if brand isn't your primary discipline.
  • Present your work to clients in a way that builds confidence. Our process is collaborative and transparent by design. Big reveals aren't part of how we work.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Substantial experience leading digital design engagements for complex content-driven products
  • A portfolio that demonstrates strategic range, not just visual range
  • Comfort moving between systems thinking and individual screen craft
  • Strong presentation skills, including the ability to walk a non-designer through why a decision was made
  • Experience working with content strategists and developers as peers, not dependencies
  • A collaborative posture that holds up under pressure.

Benefits

Comp & perks
  • Healthy work/life balance
  • A creative environment to do the best work of your career
  • An amazing team of developers, designers, marketers, and project managers.
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • Paid vacation and sick time off
  • Health, Dental, and Vision insurance
  • Retirement plan with company matching
