- Design for modern attention with platform-native systems
- Create work that balances brand building and performance
- Use AI tools and Figma to accelerate concepting and production
- Act as a hands-on player coach leading by example
- Mentor and elevate designers
- Present and sell creative work to stakeholders
What We’re Looking For
- 8 to 10 years in design or art direction at a senior or lead level
- Portfolio showing strong conceptual thinking and visual systems
- Demonstrated ability to define and launch product identities and systems from 0 to 1
- Experience working upstream with product and insights teams to shape positioning
- Ability to design across brand and performance channels
- Strong instincts for social and motion design
- Experience across packaging, DTC, Amazon, and retail
- High standards for craft and visual taste
- Fluency in Figma and modern workflows
- Experience using AI in the creative process
You’ll Thrive Here If You
- Think like a builder, not just a designer
- Care about creating demand, not just aesthetics
- Can define and execute design systems
- Push for stronger, more ownable ideas
- Move fast and iterate often
- Lead by example and elevate others
