ABOUT THE ROLE
As Lead Designer, you’ll own visual strategy and execution across email, landing pages, paid creatives, and brand assets. You’ll partner closely with copy and strategy to translate commercial briefs into elegant, testable design that drives metrics. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll both create and enable others to create to a high standard.

Lead design for client engagements, setting visual direction, quality standards, and execution plans.
Mentor and grow mid-level and junior designers through feedback, reviews, and practical coaching.
Establish design processes, checklists, and component libraries to ensure consistency and efficiency.
Create high-converting email templates, lifecycle assets, and landing pages aligned to client objectives.
Work closely with conversion copywriters and strategists to craft experiments and implement tests.
Translate analytics-backed insights into design hypotheses and iterate based on test results.
Advocate for brand clarity and UX across client touchpoints, balancing aesthetics with commercial performance.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
5+ years of product or agency design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating commercial impact and polished execution.
Proven experience leading design work and mentoring other designers.
Strong skills in Figma
Practical understanding of email design constraints, responsive landing pages, and asset optimization for web and social.
Comfort designing to metrics: you propose A/B testable design changes and measure outcomes.
Excellent communication skills and ability to give and receive direct feedback.
High ownership mindset and ability to operate in a fast-moving, high-standards environment.
NICE TO HAVE
Experience working with eCommerce, DTC, subscription, or health & beauty brands.
Familiarity with Klaviyo email templates and asset requirements.
Experience building design systems and component libraries at scale.
Experience working in remote, international teams and collaborating asynchronously.
