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.

Responsibilities

• 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

About You

The essentials:

• 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

At Monks, we believe in fostering an environment where a diversity of perspectives can thrive. We proactively work to design hiring processes that promote equity and inclusion while mitigating bias. We celebrate diversity and are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome and encourage qualified applicants, from all backgrounds, who are excited to contribute to our mission.  

Monks is committed to ensuring equal access and participation for people with disabilities. We are committed to treating people with disabilities in a way that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence. We believe in integration, and we are committed to meeting the needs of people with disabilities in a timely manner. We will do so by removing and preventing barriers to accessibility and by meeting our accessibility requirements under local accessibility laws.

About the Role

As a Senior Art Director, you'll be a hands-on creative force within a multidisciplinary team led by the Group Creative Director. You’ll help bring big ideas to life, executing standout work across digital, social, and video with a sharp eye for craft, storytelling, and design excellence.

This role sits in the details — designing, building, and refining creative assets — while contributing to broader campaign narratives and visual systems. You’ll collaborate closely with Creative Directors, Designers, Copywriters, Producers, and Strategists to deliver work that feels native to the platform, on-brand for a major client (one of the world’s leading e-commerce and technology platforms), and scalable across markets.

We’re looking for a Senior Art Director who is fluent in digital design, strong in visual storytelling, and comfortable creating high-quality work at speed. You’ll bring both conceptual thinking and pixel-perfect execution, along with AI fluency to help evolve and activate an established brand system across multiple sub-brands and channels.

This is not a role focused on building new brands from scratch. It’s about taking an existing brand system and bringing it to life — pushing it forward thoughtfully, expressing it with clarity and consistency, and elevating the work at scale. You’ll operate within a complex, multi-brand ecosystem, creating concepts, visual systems, and executions that feel fresh while remaining unmistakably on-brand.

Working Hours
This role is remote, but the team operates on Pacific Time (PST/PDT). Candidates must be able to work primarily within these hours.

** This is a 3–6 month temporary role with the potential to be extended or converted to a full-time position.

Responsibilities:

• Create and execute visual concepts across digital, social, and video formats.
• Develop layouts, mockups, prototypes, and production-ready assets with a high level of polish.
• Safeguard visual quality across all deliverables, maintaining consistency with Amazon’s design system and narrative tone of voice (“Charm and Disarm”).
• Contribute to style frames and visual systems that scale across formats, regions, and channels.
  
• Support campaign storytelling through visual development and storyboarding.
• Help translate creative briefs into compelling visual narratives, particularly for motion, film, and animation-based work.
• Partner with Copywriters and Creative Directors to ensure ideas land clearly and emotionally.
  
• Use AI tools daily to support concepting, exploration, and iteration
• Generate AI visual options efficiently without compromising brand accuracy
• Apply strong judgment to when AI is helpful and when traditional craft is better
  
• Work closely with the Group Creative Director and broader creative team to execute campaigns from concept through delivery.
• Collaborate with Strategists, Account Leads, and Producers to ensure creative aligns with project goals and timelines.
• Participate in daily stand-ups and creative reviews to maintain alignment and momentum.
• Use Figma confidently for collaborative design, layout development, and feedback cycles.
  
• Help produce assets at scale using tools and workflows, including AI-assisted production.
• Contribute ideas to improve creative processes, templates, and efficiencies.
• Stay current on design trends, platform best practices, and emerging creative formats.
  
• Maintain high standards across all outputs, ensuring thoughtful design, strong storytelling, and attention to detail.
• Take ownership of assigned deliverables from start to finish.
  

About You

The essentials:

• 5+ years of experience as a Senior Designer, Lead Designer, or Art Director within agency, advertising, or production environments
• Strong portfolio demonstrating both conceptual thinking and hands-on execution across digital, social, and video
• Advanced proficiency in Photoshop and Figma, with experience creating high-volume digital assets at speed
• Proven experience working within and evolving established brand systems across multiple formats and channels
• Strong foundation in typography, layout, composition, visual hierarchy, and storytelling
• Fluency in AI tools within a design workflow (e.g., Midjourney, Runway, etc.) — using AI as an amplifier for craft and iteration, not a shortcut
• A strong visual and photographic eye, with attention to realism, detail, and brand consistency
• Ability to balance speed and quality in a fast-paced, high-output environment
• Comfortable working in collaborative, cross-functional teams and presenting ideas internally and to clients
• Strong English communication skills and experience working with global teams

What sets you apart:

• A systems thinker who can translate brand guidelines into scalable, high-quality creative across channels
• Comfortable iterating quickly and adapting work based on feedback without being overly attached to a single direction
• Curious and up to date with visual culture, trends, and emerging tools
• Hands-on across the full design process — not limited to retouching or a single discipline
• Positive, collaborative, and proactive in contributing ideas

Nice to have:

• Film or animation production experience, including storyboarding and narrative development

Put your design skills to work at a cutting-edge company that challenges the norm. From character and level design to competitive gameplay and system design, help shape the future of interactive entertainment at Epic.

• Deep experience with PC / Console, Mobile, F2P, and Live Service Progression & Monetization Systems
• An innovator in the space that tracks industry trends and defines new ones, thinking abstractly in spaces without precedent to define the future of pass design. Every Pass is a new opportunity to try something new and expand impact
• Demonstrated talent for empathizing with players and a deep understanding of player motivations, forms of play, and the effects of goal setting on play
• Interest in progression products in Fortnite, Battle Royale, or other multiplayer games, with an understanding of what makes them effective

Director of User Experience

As Director of User Experience, you're the rare leader who thinks like both a strategist and an artist. You speak fluent UX—information architecture, research, usability—but you also speak design—visual systems, motion, art direction. And increasingly, you speak AI: architecting conversational interfaces, exploring vibe-coded experiences, leveraging machine learning to create next-gen user experiences. You understand that great design extends beyond owned platforms—into the interfaces you design within third-party and media channels where you partner to maximize user engagement. You're looking to build and lead a team of UX and Product Designers who are equally fired up about creating experiences that are strategically sound, visually stunning, and genuinely innovative.

You juggle multiple complex projects without breaking a sweat, pivoting between high-level strategy sessions and detailed design feedback. You're the collaborator who bridges disciplines—connecting research to design, design to development, and all of it to business outcomes. You thrive in fast-paced environments, champion the user's voice against competing agendas, and mentor your team with the same rigor you apply to your own work. This role demands someone energized by the full spectrum of design—from wireframe to final pixel.

You Will:

• Lead a multi-disciplinary team of UX and Product Designers to build and test user interface and product experiences that meet or exceed customer and stakeholder expectations.
• Guide and mentor UX and product design team members through delegating, follow-up, and coaching.
• Champion the user's perspective, appropriately challenging senior stakeholders when user goals are compromised, and ensure all UX and design deliverables demonstrate visual excellence and interaction elegance.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with creative teammates, account managers, strategists, content strategists, marketing science, and producers.
• Act as an account lead, effectively visualizing and verbalizing design ideas to clients through compelling presentations and narratives.
• Facilitate design and brainstorming workshops with internal teams and clients, synthesizing diverse perspectives into cohesive design direction.
• Partner with media teams and platforms to design compelling interface experiences across owned and third-party touchpoints, maximizing impact in the interface layer of social, advertising, and external platforms.
• Lead the integration of AI design principles and tools into projects—from AI-assisted design workflows to architecting AI Agent interfaces and conversational experiences that feel natural and intuitive.
• Develop and champion AI-influenced user experiences that leverage machine learning, predictive personalization, and intelligent automation while maintaining user agency and trust—including emerging paradigms like vibe-coded interfaces where tone and personality drive interaction design.
• Oversee multiple high-visibility client projects, effectively pivoting between focus areas as needed.
• Collaborate with leadership and creative leads to define, manage, and evolve the vision for the UX and Product Design discipline.
• Lead recruiting and resourcing efforts while cultivating an effective team with diverse skill sets (UX research, visual design, interaction design, front-end development).
• Coach direct reports to maximize their impact, professional development, and contribution to project and agency success while helping define and promote team culture.
• Embody agency leadership values and promote culture in all interactions (internally and externally).
• Demonstrate advanced working knowledge across visual design, art direction, motion design, front-end development, brand strategy, content strategy, and AI/machine learning principles.
• Be recognized throughout the agency as a UX and Product Design leader sought after for strategic input.
• Represent the agency as an ambassador at industry conferences and meetings, particularly around emerging AI design practices.
• Contribute UX and Product Design expertise to business development and sales initiatives.

You Have:

• 6-8+ years of related industry experience in UX, Product Design, Visual Design, Digital Product, new media, information technology, communications, or adjacent creative disciplines.
• 3+ years' experience in a supervisory/management role leading UX/Design teams.
• Demonstrated expertise in both UX/Product Strategy AND visual design/art direction—with a portfolio showing strong visual design sensibility across both disciplines.
• Experience designing and optimizing user experiences across owned and third-party platforms, including social media, advertising platforms, and external partner interfaces.
• Proven experience designing with AI in mind: both leveraging AI and machine learning as design tools and creating next-generation user experiences powered by AI.
• Familiarity with AI Agent design patterns, conversational interfaces, and emerging paradigms like vibe-coded experiences.
• A strategic and creative mindset, thriving at the intersection of data, design, art, and technology.
• Exceptional storytelling and communication skills (verbal, written, and visual).
• Excellent collaboration and interpersonal skills with strong client relations and team environment comfort.
• Proven track record leading cross-level teams and delivering excellent user experiences for leading brands.
• An experienced, innovative, and forward-thinking approach to large-scale projects from concept to completion.
• Thorough, detail-oriented, and highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple projects and meet tight deadlines.
• Flexibility and adaptability in fast-paced, changing environments.
• Deep understanding of UX fundamentals including research, information architecture, usability testing, and their application to compelling digital experiences.
• Advanced proficiency in design and prototyping tools (Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, InVision, Principle, Axure).
• Strong expertise across the Adobe Creative Suite, particularly for visual design, motion design, and art direction.
• Experience with AI-assisted design tools and workflows.
• Portfolio demonstrating creative problem-solving, visual excellence, and expertise across digital platforms, with demonstrated knowledge of design systems, accessibility, personalization, and emerging AI-driven systems.
• Familiarity with WCAG 2.0 A/AA standards and accessibility best practices.

What We Offer:

• Global maternity and parental leave 
• Competitive benefits packages 
• Vacation, compassionate leave, wellness days, and flex days
