The Role
We’re seeking a Multidisciplinary Senior Designer who thrives on exploration—someone ready to navigate the complexities of multidisciplinary design while collaborating with a global team spanning multiple time zones.

This role is your passport to ambitious, versatile work: shape presentations seen on the stage of UNGA, design immersive experiences at expos, craft websites used to prevent pandemics, and support collateral across trade organizations and tech giants.

Note: This is a hybrid based position. This role will need to come into our Old Town office a few times a month for client presentations, collaboration, site visits, etc. We also regularly meet together on Wednesdays for lunch, and encourage you to join us.

What You’ll Do

• Stamp your Brand Passport: Support campaign identities for expos, activations and Trade Associations by supporting creative concepts through pitch decks, moodboards, logo sketches to full brand execution.
  
• Design Across Borders: Build out creative materials across diverse formats, including reports, OOH advertisements, events, presentations, HTML5 ads, social media, motion and web assets.
  
• Anchor in Excellence: Ensure visual consistency and impeccable quality across deliverables by adhering to brand guidelines and refining every detail.
  
• Navigate Digital Terrain: Support display ad production, including HTML5 banners, and have working knowledge of Figma.
  
• Collaborate Globally: Work closely with a dynamic international team to execute concepts aligned with established client brand systems, and own projects from start to finish.

What You’ll Bring

• Multidisciplinary Expertise: You have proficiency across the Adobe Creative Suite, and demonstrate an ability to bring high quality to the essentials.
  
• Foundational Figma Skills: Must possess foundational skills in Figma to create landing pages or small-scope sites. You don’t have to be a Figma Master, but we love a Figma Fanatic!
  
• Illustration: Preference for candidates with some base level illustration and drawing skills. You are comfortable creating icons and sketches for logos.
  
• Presentation Skills: You can talk clients and cross-departmental teams through your designs with confidence and rationale.
  
• Tenure: You should have 5+ years of experience as a designer
  
• Swiss-Knife Portfolio: In case you missed it – your portfolio should demonstrate a wide set of skills.
  
• Attention to Detail: A sharp eye for consistency, catching the smallest errors before they take flight.
  
• Adaptability: The ability to pivot with agility and balance efficiency with top-tier quality.
  
• Bonus! entry-level Motion Skills: Entry-level editing skills, that can support lower-thirds, and small motion-graphic packages, are a competitive plus.
