Who you are:
A Visual Design Lead who thinks conceptually and leads teams to bring that vision to life with exceptional craft
and a deep understanding
in
foundational design
. You own the visual design direction
and narrative
on your engagements
from defining the aesthetic language and design system to directing high-quality output across every touchpoint. You set the bar for visual excellence, cultivate a culture of craft, and are committed to developing
and nurturing
the next generation of creative talent.
You
operate
as a decisive creative leader, trusted client partner, and you 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 and
direction
s
tangible
.
The work:
In this role you will have accountability across three dimensions:
Client Delivery:
Lead the visual design direction on engagements (internal or clients) from concept through delivery, with accountability for design quality, aesthetic cohesion, and adherence to project timelines.
Operate as a conceptual thinker who can translate abstract briefs, brand strategy, and audience insights into clear, compelling visual languages.
Set and defend a high visual craft standard directing the creation of brand identities, design systems, motion, typography, illustration, and digital experiences.
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.
Use AI tools to accelerate concepting, iteration, and production, and model how these tools can enhance, not replace, creative thinking.
Serve as a leading creative voice in client discussions, confidently sharing your visual perspective and translating design rationale into strategic narratives that guide clients through complex, high-pressure decisions.
Business Development:
Proactively document how AI is changing your visual design workflows and quantify its impact on delivery quality and team performance to evolve how we work as a practice.
Contribute to proposals, create case studies from your work, and translate project learnings into clear, compelling thought leadership that showcases our visual design capabilities.
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 partnering with account leads to build a compelling point of view around it.
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.
Be a consistent and engaged member of the Visual Design craft, proactively sharing methods, creative references, and outcomes from your projects and contributing to the evolution of the discipline.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Bonus points if you have:
Fluency in adjacent areas such as brand strategy, service design, content design, or you’ve expanded your skillset in a self-directed way.
Experience contributing to practice-level initiatives, including ways of working, craft assets, onboarding, or community forums.
A bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in visual design, visual communications, graphic design, fine art, or a related creative field.
Experience working in management consulting, a creative agency, or a professional services environment.
You contribute to external thought leadership, such as publishing creative POVs, speaking at events, or representing the practice in the broader design community.
