Position Overview
We're looking for a Principal Designer to raise the bar for craft and innovation across all of our design disciplines: brand design, motion design, UI design, and visual communications. This is a hands-on design role at the most senior IC level: you'll shape world-class brand and digital experiences and act as a driving creative force on our most strategic work, both internal and external.

You'll report to the senior Director, Design, and partner closely with the Managing Director, Design as well as other leaders across the business, as well as with our multidisciplinary teams of designers, strategists, and developers. You'll operate with a high degree of autonomy-leading major initiatives, and serving as a trusted peer and mentor who lifts the quality of work across the entire creative practice.

Directly present and articulate design strategy, creative rationale, and trade-offs to executive-level client stakeholders with confidence.
Facilitate client feedback constructively, defending design choices with strategic rationale while adapting to evolving business needs.
Operate independently to produce flawless, highly polished design solutions with minimal oversight.
Serve as a subject matter expert and practice lead, mentoring senior and lead-level designers to elevate craftsmanship, visual execution, and design rigor across the practice.
Skills & Qualifications
12+ years of design experience within a high-performing in-house team, agency, or consultancy.
An exceptional portfolio demonstrating supreme talent in visual design, brand identity systems, digital products, motion, and visual communications.
