Senior Designer

Since its founding in 2009, The Many has combined technology, creativity and empathy to make stuff consumers actively seek, engage and share.

It has resulted in loads of integrated campaigns and award-winning work for social and digital, long-form and creator content, and activations.

The secret sauce: we harness the power of participation. Because if you look around you’ll notice that brands are no longer built in isolation, they’re built in participation with the many.

As a Senior Designer, you balance creative thinking, interpersonal skills, and client expectations to translate concepts into exceptional visual design systems. You are able to adapt to the teams around, you don’t expect them to adapt to you. You overcome creative challenges with smart and strategic design solutions; you have the ability to find and build equity in brand and campaign identities; you can evolve and push design both visually, conceptually, and strategically. You are up for the challenge when it comes to leading a project, using that experience to take those projects to the next level by pushing your design talents. You have the ability to both present work internally to our teams and externally to clients with your strong perspective on design direction.

What this role is responsible for:

• Work in great synergy alongside creative teams to help concept, mood board and visually solve for client and campaign needs
• Execute design direction to produce multiple options for compelling results in both print and digital deliverables, on time and within budget
• Aid in leading and crafting the creation of multiple campaign deliverables, which may include various resizes and formats in a fast-paced and highly organized fashion
• Collaborate fluidly with creative team on ideation, exploration, concept development, and final execution in both print and digital deliverables
• Responsible for mentoring and leading designated junior designers, as well as being available to provide constructive criticism and guidance to maintain consistent creative quality and craft award-winning design work
• Proactively develop new ways to inspire and harness creative thinking
• Maintain consistent communication with Project Managers to ensure that all milestones and expectations are being met within scope boundaries
• Support design team in general, including brand research, strategy assessment, stock photo searches, oversight of internal and external presentation decks, general design support, etc.
• Ability to lead pitches from a design perspective

What we need from you:

• Minimum 6 to 8 years design experience in a creative ad agency or studio with demonstrated results in a variety of formats (POS, OOH, social, branding and brand redesign)
• Approach work with an open, flexible outlook and a focus on best results
• Calmness and coolness in the face of tight situations
• Professionalism and a confident, collaborative approach to client-facing and colleague interactions
• Able to discuss and present design work with clients and peers, both in face-to-face meetings and within email (or project management software)
• Flexibility to work with ever-changing timelines within strict global deadlines and scope/budget
• Open to working in-office three days a week

Other things we’d like to see:

• Proven expertise in Adobe Creative Suite, primarily Photoshop and Illustrator and Google Presentation products
• Figma and/or After Effects knowledge is a huge plus
• Demonstrated high degree of proficiency in typography, color and visual composition is essential
• Strong organizational skills and hold a strong overview of the project and take responsibility for key elements
• Amazing presentation skills with the ability to think conceptually
• Comfortable with the conception and execution of design direction for various clients
• Ability to understand a brand’s tonality while developing and embracing their style guides

Our salary range for this opportunity is $92,000.00 to $105,000.00 annually. There are several factors taken into consideration in determining base salary, including but not limited to: job-related qualifications, skills, education and experience, as well as job location and the value of other elements of an employee’s total compensation package (i.e. benefits, retirement plan employer match, etc.).

The Many is more than an agency. The Many is also a movement to push the world forward and we believe that diversity is an integral part of that mission. Every identity, from your heritage to those you hold dear, your beliefs, abilities, status, ethnicity, as well as your gender (and please share your pronouns), these are the threads that strengthen our collective fabric. We want you to feel seen and supported from the get-go. If there's any way we can assist or accommodate you during the interview process, we're just a message away.
