You're equally comfortable presenting to executives, collaborating with marketers or mentoring fellow designers.\nYou bring depth of experience\nYou'll likely have:\n10+ years of experience in brand design, or visual design\n\nExperience building or evolving brands at scale across multiple products or markets\n\nExpertise in Figma and/or Adobe Creative Suite\n\nExperience with motion design, storytelling, and digital brand experiences\n\nExperience building or contributing to enterprise design systems\n\nDeep familiarity with AI-powered creative tools and workflows\n\nOutstanding communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills\n\nWhy join OLX\nOLX operates some of the world's most recognized online marketplaces, connecting millions of people every day to buy, sell, find jobs, discover homes, and build businesses.\nAs our Principal Brand Designer, you'll have a unique opportunity to shape the future of multiple global brands while defining how AI and design systems work together to create consistent, high-quality brand experiences at scale.\nThis role offers the chance to influence design beyond individual projects to build the frameworks, standards, and creative vision that will guide OLX's brands for years to come.\nIf you're excited by solving complex brand challenges, setting the highest creative standards, and pioneering the future of AI-enabled design, we'd love to hear from you.\nHiring Process\nWe believe in a transparent and collaborative hiring process that reflects how we work as a team.
