JOB DESCRIPTION

6AM is looking for some real deal, next level talent. If you are ready to take your patiently honed design skills to the next level, we are convinced you are the candidate that can help us grow our agency and over-deliver amazing design work to our current clients (and all the new ones we will win together)

The Senior Designer we are looking for must possess superior visual, conceptual and communication skills and boast a knowledge of media requirements / terminology and vendor requirements / capabilities. 

At the end of the day, good design is good communication, so let us ask you:

Do you truly speak design? 
Are you a visual concepter at heart?
Do you like having fun and connecting with a focused and talented creative team?
Have you been (or are you looking for that next step) to build, lead and grow an agency design team?
Are you fluent in the magic of visual expression – throughout the process, from concepting through final designs?

Can you advise, build and manage complex campaigns and ad communication…and yet, still master modern or classic typography and photography layouts to “wow” everyone in more traditional print/magazine assignments?

If you answered yes to these questions, then you are a perfect fit.

As far as the more traditional requirements go –

You must be able to:

• Design at a level that will help us establish and maintain the highest possible design standards across TV, print, outdoor, web, social, mobile, and digital (and whatever other tech is lurking around the corner) also have the hands-on ability to create print ad, brochures, booklets, fliers, OOH, OLV
• Oversee and direct the quality, finish, and standards of creative, design, art and conceptual materials produced by yourself, internal and freelance designers.
• Commit to work with a copywriter partner to ideate, create and translate those ideas into finished advertising communication.
  Source and manage licensing on stock photography/videography assets.
• Thrive in a deadline-oriented environment and work collaboratively to achieve a unified vision for client work. Helping everyone have a voice or be heard throughout the process.
• Display the commitment and passion to grow your own personal design skills and encourage the professional development of staff alike.
• Create and concept efficient visual executions of creative concepts that mirror objectives in a Creative Brief or by Creative Director assignment.
• Possess the communication skills to consult with the Creative Director, as well as copywriters, production, and Account Executives as necessary to achieve agency and client objectives.
• Engage in the personal development necessary to stay current in advertising/ design techniques and standards, and research activity required to become more familiar with our current (and future) clients’ businesses.
• Direct and collaborate with photographers, directors, and talent at photo sessions.
• Oversee standards in type specification, color quality, and when necessary, oversee the inspection and approval of separations, and selection of paper stocks and print and production specs and be available for press checks.
• Work with the Creative Director to develop standards for administering office procedures like scheduling, vacations, sick days, time off, as outlined by agency policy.
• Collaborate with the account team and management to assign or forecast overtime to meet overload on client demand.
• Be ready to meet the additional demands of the Creative Director to own direction on pitches, presentations, or client assignments from time to time.

If a blank canvas scares you or you always need an army of “someone else’s” to do the design work - you need not apply. We are looking for a candidate who can come in, communicate their ideas, defend but be open to their expressions, all while we inspire and build a team to grow as our agency continues to.

We can’t wait to see what you can bring to the table.
