Team One is hiring: Visual Designer, Motion in Cincinnati

Mid-Level Visual Designer

We're a team of makers and dreamers, turning strategic ideas into flawless retail executions. We collaborate closely with our clients to elevate the expected and embrace the new, the next, and the complex. Nothing is impossible— If you can shop it, we can do it. At Saatchi X, Visual Designers create simple, bold, unmistakably on‑brand work across integrated omnichannel campaigns. We believe strong ideas deserve strong craft—and that great design happens when curious, opinionated people collaborate across disciplines to make work that actually connects. Designers here are makers first—strong visual thinkers who execute beautifully and bring energy, curiosity, and care to every assignment. While the role is rooted in strong visual design fundamentals, an understanding of motion design and how static concepts translate into engaging animated experiences is highly valued. As a mid‑level Visual Designer, you'll support work for a large, highly regulated financial institution, operating confidently within established brand systems while elevating the work through exceptional typography, composition, and executional discipline. This role is for designers who nerd out over type, care deeply about layout, and believe great ideas only land when the craft is just as strong.
Responsibilities:
Design visual assets for integrated omnichannel campaigns across retail, digital, print, and presentations
Execute highly crafted design from established creative direction
Own typography decisions across layouts—headlines, subheads, body copy, captions
Build clear, intuitive type hierarchies and strong compositions
Develop motion design concepts and lightweight animations that bring campaign ideas to life across digital, social, presentation, and retail environments
Sweat the details: kerning, leading, spacing, rhythm, balance
Build mood boards, storyboards, visual explorations, layouts, and design systems
Prepare clean, production‑ready files with pride in craft and organization
Partner closely with copywriters, motion designers, and production teams to ensure cohesive visual storytelling across static and motion executions
Show up to brainstorms, critiques, and reviews with ideas—and opinions
Manage multiple projects while keeping quality high
Qualifications:
~3 years of professional visual design experience (agency or in‑house)
A strong portfolio demonstrating confidence in typography, layout, execution, and, ideally, motion design thinking
Fluency in Adobe Creative Suite; Figma experience a plus
Experience with motion design and animation principles, with working knowledge of After Effects or similar motion design tools
Comfort designing across channels and formats (Retail‑forward experience is a strong plus)
Strong attention to detail and excellent organizational habits
Compensation Range: USD $66,120.00 - USD $82,650.00/Annually.
