About the Role

At Monks, Senior Designers are the backbone of creative execution at scale. You bring equal parts craft, systems thinking, and creative ambition — translating brand vision into high-quality assets that perform across global campaigns, platforms, and moments. This is not just a production role. You'll operate confidently in the space between established brand guidelines and new creative territory, pushing boundaries while ensuring every deliverable meets the highest standard of quality.

You'll work at speed and at scale — owning asset delivery for high-velocity programs and setting the craft bar for the work that goes out the door.

What You'll Do

• Lead the design and delivery of high-volume, high-quality creative assets across global campaigns, maintaining brand consistency at every touchpoint
• Champion brand integrity across regions — ensuring visual systems, style guides, and design standards are applied with precision and intent
• Operate confidently in the "gray space" — blending established brand guidelines with fresh creative thinking to find new ways of expressing the brand
• Develop, maintain, and evolve style guides and design systems built for scale, ensuring assets are consistent, adaptable, and platform-ready
• Own quality assurance across deliverables — serving as the final reviewer before work reaches senior stakeholder or client review
• Guide and supervise a team of production designers, providing clear creative direction, feedback, and support to ensure efficient, on-brand output
• Push the boundaries of what's possible within Figma — leveraging its full capabilities to create outstanding designs and invent smarter ways of working
• Collaborate with creative directors, strategists, producers, and technologists to deliver solutions that are both creatively strong and commercially effective
• Present and articulate design decisions clearly and confidently to internal teams and stakeholders
• Stay ahead of design trends, cultural moments, and emerging tools — bringing fresh references and creative energy to every project

What You Bring

Required

• 5+ years of experience as a Designer or Art Director in an agency or fast-paced creative environment
• A strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional craft, range, and the ability to work across brand, campaign, and digital experiences at scale
• Proven experience working on global campaigns with a deep understanding of design consistency, brand systems, and regional adaptation
• Expert-level proficiency in Figma — including design systems, component libraries, and collaborative workflows
• Strong command of Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
• Demonstrated experience in style guide development, asset production, and quality assurance across high-volume deliverables
• Experience leading or supervising production designers, with the ability to give clear, constructive creative direction
• A systems thinker who can design for scale without sacrificing craft or creative intent
• Comfortable with AI-powered design tools and emerging workflows that accelerate creative production
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English

Nice to Have

• Experience working on large-scale retail, tech, or e-commerce enterprise accounts
• Motion design skills and experience with animation or video asset production
• Familiarity with design for performance — understanding how creative decisions impact campaign effectiveness

About the Role

You'll be a senior creative force on high-profile brand marketing campaigns spanning social content, hero video, motion graphics, and typographic animation. Operating within a dedicated client team, you'll own the animation process end-to-end — from concept and pre-production through final delivery — collaborating with creative directors, producers, illustrators, and animators across a global team.

At this level, nobody oversees your craft — you set the bar. You're expected to drive quality and efficiency, mentor junior and semi-senior animators, push new techniques and tools, and serve as an internal ambassador for generative AI in the animation workflow.

What You'll Do

• Own the full animation lifecycle — pre-production assessment, creative scoping, execution, and final delivery — across social assets, complex hero videos, and multi-platform campaign toolkits.
• Lead early-stage creative ideation alongside art directors and creative leads, translating briefs and copy into high-quality motion work across formats, languages, and dimensions.
• Build and optimize production templates that improve speed and consistency for the broader global animation team.
• Maintain brand integrity across all deliverables — consistent across ad formats, platforms, and languages — while proactively flagging risks and unfeasible timelines before they become problems.
• Champion and integrate generative AI tools into your workflow, staying ahead of market trends and helping the team adopt new techniques and software.
• Present work and contribute to creative conversations with support from the craft director; collaborate with producers and cross-functional teams across multiple offices worldwide.
• Support and mentor junior and semi-senior animators, actively sharing progress, problems, and creative solutions across the team.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of professional experience in motion design and 2D animation, with a portfolio demonstrating ownership across brand campaigns, social content, and hero video production.
• Advanced proficiency in After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma — you know how to do the basics right, and when to break the rules for creative effect.
• Hands-on experience with generative AI tools — Runway, MidJourney, Adobe Firefly, Whisk, or similar — with a genuine drive to stay current as the toolset evolves.
• Strong visual design sensibility across typography, colour, layout, and composition in both static and motion contexts.
• Proven ability to manage your own time, flag risks early, and deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines — independently, without hand-holding.
• Intermediate to advanced English proficiency (written and verbal) — enough to work fluidly with international teams, communicate blockers clearly, and present creative work.
• Collaborative mindset — equally comfortable leading a creative direction, mentoring a junior, or taking notes from a craft director.

Nice to Have

• 2D character animation
• 3D animation (C4D / Blender)
• Storyboarding
• Lottie / Rive
• Agency / production background
• Social platform specs (Meta, TikTok, YT)
