About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Designer to create thoughtful, visually compelling digital experiences and campaigns for a global sports brand. This role combines strong design craft, digital expertise, and independent creative thinking, helping translate brand ideas and business objectives into polished, cohesive experiences across digital touchpoints.

You’ll work closely with Creative Directors, designers, strategists, copywriters, UX, technology, production, and account teams to develop work from early concepts through final execution. You’ll bring a strong point of view to the work, contribute meaningfully to creative direction, and take ownership of design projects while collaborating closely with the broader team.

The ideal candidate is an accomplished designer with excellent visual judgment, strong digital and UI sensibility, and a high level of craft. You’re comfortable taking a design problem from a blank page to a polished solution, presenting your thinking to clients and internal teams, giving and receiving thoughtful feedback, and getting hands-on in Figma to bring ideas to life. You’re curious about emerging technologies, AI, culture, and new approaches to design, and you’re interested in how they can expand what’s possible creatively.

Responsibilities:

• Develop high-quality visual concepts and design solutions across digital campaigns, websites, mobile experiences, e-commerce, products, and other digital touchpoints.
• Translate creative briefs, brand strategy, business objectives, and creative direction into clear, compelling visual solutions.
• Take ownership of design projects from initial exploration and concept development through refinement, prototyping, and final delivery.
• Establish a strong visual point of view and contribute to the overall creative direction of assigned projects.
• Apply a high level of craft across typography, composition, hierarchy, layout, color, imagery, interaction, and digital storytelling.
• Create polished designs and prototypes in Figma, working across responsive layouts, components, interactions, and digital experiences.
• Explore multiple creative approaches to a problem, knowing when to push an idea further and when to refine and simplify.
• Collaborate with Creative Directors and other designers to develop work that is strategically grounded, visually distinctive, and appropriate to the brand.
• Partner with strategy, copy, account, UX, technology, production, and other disciplines to develop integrated creative solutions.
• Participate actively in brainstorms, design critiques, creative reviews, workshops, and collaborative working sessions.
• Respond to feedback and evolving project requirements while maintaining the integrity and quality of the design.
• Design within established brand systems while also identifying opportunities to evolve visual language and create new expressions of the brand.
• Work with existing design systems, component libraries, and digital guidelines, contributing improvements when appropriate.
• Consider usability, accessibility, performance, scalability, localization, translation, and technical constraints throughout the design process.
• Collaborate with developers and production teams to ensure design intent is accurately translated into final experiences.
• Provide thoughtful feedback and informal mentorship to more junior designers, helping strengthen their design thinking, craft, and attention to detail.
• Stay informed about contemporary design, digital experiences, visual culture, technology, and emerging creative trends.
• Contribute to a collaborative, curious, and high-performing design culture.
