Employ your problem-solving skills and full stack of design solutions to lead your team and projects from start to finish to ensure the highest quality of the delivery.
Be presenting your work to the client in person and through video calls, pitching new projects and proposals for production.
Improve work on both an aesthetic and functional level, with an articulate understanding of design fundamentals such as typography, interaction design and usability.
Understand how designers work and think, but also have a feel for the politics of advertising and pitfalls of production.
Your social skills are just as vital. Ultimately, it’s a combination of kudos and critique that makes people go the extra mile.

Requirements

You have around 7+ years of experience, with 2+ years in a lead capacity, across the field of digital and web design.

You have experience directing all stages of the design process, from conceptualizing styles to finalizing asset deliveries
You have an articulate understanding of grid systems, white space, aspect ratios, typography and color theory, tying all of these elements together with obsessive attention to detail.
Your Photoshop and Sketch skills are so slick, they look photoshopped; and you also know how to organize your files, layers and folders.
Beyond aesthetic excellence, your portfolio demonstrates presentation, research, troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
Based on your experience and expertise, you can judge on the quality of the user experience, and explain what needs to be achieved to make it better.
You know how to sell designs to colleagues and clients alike, and have experience running workshops and presentations.
Interactive prototyping tools are a must, be it Marvel, InVision, Framer or Figma. You are flexible and agile and willing to put in the hours, time and dedication to make each project you work on a success.
