Senior Web & Visual Designer

Role Overview

• 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
• Strong English skills (spoken and written)
• Strong brand judgment, typography, composition, and art direction skills
• Your feedback is specific, actionable, and fast
• 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.
