Senior Graphic Designer

You are the creative engine - translating briefs into visual concepts that are both strategically sound and aesthetically sharp. For client work, this means understanding audience and platform. For OpenMinds ventures, this means building a visual language from the ground up.

Design Execution, AI Integration & Quality Assurance

You produce high-quality work across the full range of digital formats - and you use AI tools as a genuine part of your production workflow, not an afterthought.

Mentorship & Team Leadership

As the senior voice on the design team, you raise the standard - not just through your own output, but through how you lead others.

Cross-functional Collaboration & Creative Pitching

Design at OpenMinds doesn't happen in isolation. You work closely with content, strategy, and account teams - and you are comfortable presenting your thinking in a room.
