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.

About You

• 5+ years of experience in digital design, visual design, art direction, or a related creative discipline.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating sophisticated design craft, visual thinking, and high-quality digital work across multiple channels and formats.
• Demonstrated experience taking digital design projects from concept through final execution.
• Strong proficiency in Figma, including hands-on experience with visual design, prototyping, responsive layouts, and component-based design.
• Advanced understanding of design fundamentals, including typography, grid, hierarchy, composition, layout, color, imagery, interaction, and visual storytelling.
• Strong digital and UI sensibility, with an understanding of UX principles and the ability to create experiences that are both visually compelling and intuitive.

• Strong conceptual thinking and the ability to develop multiple creative approaches in response to a brief or business challenge.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, make sound design decisions, and take ownership of projects with appropriate creative guidance.
• Ability to balance creative ambition with practical considerations including usability, accessibility, technical requirements, timelines, and production constraints.
• Experience working closely with multidisciplinary teams, including creative, strategy, UX, copy, technology, production, and account.
• Strong presentation and communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate design decisions and creative rationale to both creative and non-creative audiences.
• Ability to give and receive constructive feedback and use critique to strengthen the work.
• Experience collaborating with developers and production partners to bring digital designs through implementation.
• Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and evolving project requirements.
• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Hands-on experience with AI tools or emerging technologies as part of the creative and design process.
• Strong cultural curiosity and an informed perspective on contemporary design, technology, digital behavior, and visual culture.
• Collaborative, low-ego approach with a genuine interest in contributing to the growth and quality of the broader design team.

Not a must, but a plus:

• Experience working with athletic, apparel, footwear, fashion, lifestyle, retail, or other culturally relevant consumer brands.
• Experience designing for large-scale global brands and complex digital ecosystems.
• Experience working across e-commerce, product launches, seasonal campaigns, and high-traffic consumer digital experiences.
