Senior Designer

Overview

We are a team of digital marketers working towards a singular goal: bringing world-class Catholic resources to as many souls as possible. We’re looking for a Swiss-army-knife designer and to create engaging, high-impact experiences across web, email, and app platforms. This is a hands-on role where you will be responsible not only for creating visually stunning and highly functional designs but also for implementing those designs through front-end development. You’ll be responsible for crafting meaningful experiences, and building them with clean, scalable, performance-optimized code.

As a Senior Designer, you will bring expertise in web and application design. You will dive deep into distributing our world-class content, optimizing designs to align with brand guidelines while driving performance and engagement. You’ll execute UX/UI design across campaigns, contribute to our design system, and collaborate with marketers, developers, and content creators to deliver engaging, mission-aligned digital experiences. You will work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and will need to be ready to contribute on day one.

Dynamic Catholic has been a game changer for over a decade-and now we’re looking for someone who’s ready to help create the next wave of digital innovation. If you’re a designer who codes and you’re looking for work that challenges your creativity, sharpens your skills, and serves a greater purpose, this is the place for you. Come join us.

Catholics are leaving the Church at an alarming rate, and disengagement among those who remain is staggeringly high. This is where you come in. We are looking for driven, talented, and dynamic individuals who will work tirelessly to use their talents to inspire people to rediscover the genius of Catholicism.
