Job Description We’re looking for a Visionary Design Director to join us in our continued mission to build a best‑in‑class global creative studio for VISA and the clients we serve.

The ideal candidate will be a strategic design leader with a proven track record of leading highly successful, award‑winning, global design teams – either within advertising agencies or at brand‑side internal creative studios. A strong portfolio of work is a must.

They must have a passion and background in visual design systems that work globally across every touchpoint. Their experience shows a track record of spearheading and leading a global visual brand refresh and implementing the visual system across multiple touchpoints, languages, and countries.

As a systems thinker and strategist, they must have a portfolio that demonstrates design influence on culture and conversation, with a forward‑looking mindset on trends including AI.

They need an “building mental” mindset, able to build, hire, and mentor a high‑performing team that delivers cohesive creative solutions across the full media mix. They must thrive in a global environment, guide internal design teams, agencies, and production partners, and be willing to roll up sleeves to do design work when needed.

They must have experience in motion, social, content, and art direction; be comfortable leading photoshoots and animated shorts; and understand implementation of design in social, film, experiential, OOH, CRM, and lower‑funnel contexts.

Effortless collaboration is essential, as they will work closely with global regions and external clients to ensure best‑in‑class creative is implemented.

Responsibilities include leading a team of designers and working closely with all agency partners.
