As a Visual Design Lead, you think conceptually and lead teams to bring that vision to life with exceptional craft. You own the visual design direction and narrative on engagements, set the bar for visual excellence, cultivate a culture of craft, and connect visual decisions to brand strategy and measurable business impact. You embrace AI as an enabler to your process and are ready to create alongside your team to make your vision tangible.
The work
- Client Delivery: Lead the visual design direction on engagements (internal or client) from concept through delivery, with accountability for design quality, aesthetic cohesion, and adherence to project timelines; translate abstract briefs, brand strategy, and audience insights into clear, compelling visual languages.
- Client Delivery: Set and defend a high visual craft standard directing the creation of brand identities, design systems, motion, typography, illustration, and digital experiences.
- Client Delivery: Both visionary and hands-on—define the creative direction while staying close to the work, shaping key design decisions and producing high-quality output alongside your team.
- Client Delivery: Use AI tools to accelerate concepting, iteration, and production, and model how these tools can enhance, not replace, creative thinking.
- Client Delivery: Serve as a leading creative voice in client discussions, confidently sharing your visual perspective and translating design rationale into strategic narratives that guide complex, high-pressure decisions.
- Business Development: Proactively document how AI is changing visual design workflows and quantify its impact on delivery quality and team performance to evolve how we work as a practice.
- Business Development: Contribute to proposals, create case studies from your work, and translate project learnings into clear, compelling thought leadership that showcases our visual design capabilities.
- Business Development: Identify and shape new creative opportunities with existing clients, recognizing when a brand, design system, or experience challenge is an opening for deeper engagement, and partner with account leads to build a compelling point of view.
- People & Practice Development: Manage, support, and mentor team members in their day-to-day work, helping them grow their visual craft, develop creative confidence, navigate challenges, and evolve as visual designers.
- People & Practice Development: Be a consistent and engaged member of the Visual Design craft, proactively sharing methods, creative references, and outcomes from projects and contributing to the evolution of the discipline.
