Design Director at MediaMonks BA

Buenos Aires

MediaMonks Buenos Aires is looking for a Design Director to join a dedicated team of Monks that works alongside our international offices to produce high-end work for a top-name client. You’ll lead a dedicated team of designers and be responsible for creating and applying strategic design thinking to deliver award-winning work for products, brand campaigns, platforms and more.

In this role you will:

As a Design Director, you will be responsible for elevating the level of craft and shaping the vision, process, and frameworks for exceptional creative across multiple digital tactics.
You steer the team of visual and interface designers to guarantee the best quality of delivery, ensuring the work on both an aesthetic and functional level.
You take ownership of entire projects, providing strong leadership and direction while interfacing with clients, and a wide team of creatives and designers.
You can nourish client relationships, guide, inspire designers and bring harmony to our people, projects and processes.
Together with our Creative Leads, UX Leads and Producers, you will leverage existing brand guidelines to deliver a consistent, recognizable and relevant brand point of view across different projects with a strategic vision.
You look after the execution of the art direction and style guides, iterate templates and assets, and help to improve the work by offering new angles and solutions for a wide range and variety of media involving animation, static, motion graphics and live action edit.
You lead by example, always perfect the tiniest details and inspire by your passion. Clients can see this too and will flock to collaborate with you.

Requirements

We’re looking to hire someone with 5-10 years of experience in the digital field, with at least 2 years of lead-level experience in digital production. Global experience is strongly preferred.
Your English communication is fluent when speaking and writing.
Let's be honest. Half of this job is about excellent design, the other half is knowing how to get it made. You excel at both, and have a proven track record in both product and campaign work.
Experience with social and branding campaigns.
As showcased in your portfolio, your Adobe, Figma and Sketch knowledge is well-versed. You also dabble in animation.
You have a strong philosophy on leadership, and you enjoy mentoring and fostering growth of junior team members. You know how to empower and lead without a show of force, giving our in-house teams a clear creative direction and ownership over their projects.

You are humble enough to always listen and learn from users, clients and teammates - but you also have a highly developed sense of taste, and know how to sell it.
As part of a global company operating as one team across time zones, you can successfully collaborate at a distance.
You understand the process and politics of production inside out and know when to be pragmatic if that’s what it takes to keep things moving.
You have a strong knowledge and sensibility in typography.
In short, you are somebody even experienced designers can learn from.
