What are the responsibilities and job description for the Graphic Designer / Web Designer position at Hero Creative?
Senior Designer (Brand Digital)
Hero Creative | Seattle Metro Area | Full-Time
About the Role
We're a five-person digital agency looking for a senior designer to own the visual execution of client projects—from brand identity to web design. You'll work directly with clients across industries including multifamily housing, wineries, healthcare, and professional services.
This isn't a production role where you execute someone else's vision pixel-by-pixel. You'll take strategic direction from our leadership team and translate it into polished, effective design work. We expect you to have opinions, push back when something isn't working, and bring ideas to the table. You'll also need to present and defend your work directly to clients.
What You'll Do
- Design and execute brand identity systems (logos, visual guidelines, collateral)
- Create responsive websites with strong UX foundations
- Present work to clients and incorporate feedback without losing design integrity
- Ensure all digital work meets WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards
- Manage multiple projects simultaneously with minimal oversight
- Contribute to strategic discussions about client brand direction
What We're Looking For
- 5-7 years of professional design experience, preferably including agency or client-services work
- Strong portfolio demonstrating both brand identity and web/digital design
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma
- Solid understanding of UX principles and how users interact with digital products
- Working knowledge of WCAG accessibility guidelines and inclusive design practices
- Ability to articulate design decisions to non-designers
- Comfort working autonomously and managing your own time
Nice to Have
- Motion graphics or animation skills
- Basic HTML/CSS knowledge
- Experience with design systems
