Job Title:Senior Brand Designer

Role Overview:

We’re looking for a Brand Designer who thrives on solving complex design challenges and elevating ideas into world-class creative. You’ll work across omnichannel campaigns, including upper/mid funnel media campaigns, performance marketing and lifecycle marketing, shaping visual systems that scale while still allowing for creative expression.

This role is ideal for a designer with strong systems-thinking, typographic rigor, and the ability to adapt creative to maximize impact across a variety of touchpoints — with bonus points for motion graphics and creative automation experience. 
This is a Hybrid position located in one of our Hub Locations: New York, NY, Frisco, TX, San Jose CA or Newport Beach, CA.

  • Understand business and stakeholder needs and build/optimize creative that drives impact 

  • Ensure work consistently meets high standards for design, usability, and brand alignment  

  • Mentor junior designers and provide constructive, inspiring feedback

  • Expert proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite  

  • Proven ability to translate brand strategy into cohesive design systems and campaign executions  

  • Strong typography, layout, and visual storytelling skills  

  • Proficiency leveraging AI tools (e.g., MidJourney, Firefly, Runway) to explore, prototype, and extend creative directions  

  • Understanding of business priorities and goals and how design can drive impact 

  • Ability to mentor, inspire, and collaborate across disciplines  

  • Bonus: experience with motion graphics/animation, video editing, or creative automation platforms like Celtra
