Senior Web & Visual Designer (Remote)

Posted 2026-05-06
Remote, USA Full-time Immediate Start

You’re the person who makes “reliable and always available” true in real life. You lead a team of designers, keep quality consistent across multiple brands, and make sure work ships on time without turning the team into pixel zombies.


This is a player-coach role: you’ll direct, review, unblock, and occasionally design when it matters most.


Tasks


What You’ll Own (Outcomes)



  • Quality consistency at scale: Every deliverable meets brand standards, feels intentional, and doesn’t trigger “who approved this?” energy.

  • On-time delivery: Priorities are clear, deadlines are realistic, and the team ships predictably.

  • Team performance: Designers are productive, improving, and not quietly drowning.

  • Client confidence: Clients feel like they have a real Senior Web & Visual Designer and leader, not “a random designer who happens to be online.”


Responsibilities


1. Creative Leadership and Direction



  • Set and maintain creative standards for the team (layout, typography, motion, brand fit, polish).

  • Translate messy briefs into clear direction designers can execute fast.

  • Establish reusable systems: templates, component libraries, brand kits, best-practice examples.


2. Quality Control (Without becoming a bottleneck)



  • Review work before it goes out: catch obvious errors and the subtle “this is technically fine but feels off.”

  • Coach designers through feedback so quality improves over time (not just “fix it and move on”).

  • Define what “great” looks like per client and per deliverable type.


3. Delivery Management inside the Team



  • Triage incoming requests: simple vs complex, urgency, dependencies, and risk.

  • Assign work to the right person based on skill, bandwidth, and client context.

  • Unblock work fast (missing assets, unclear scope, conflicting feedback, shifting priorities).

  • Communicate early when something is at risk and propose options (scope trims, phased delivery, alternates).


4. Client-Facing Collaboration (Light, but high impact)



  • Join key client calls when needed: onboarding, brand alignment, escalations, quarterly reviews.

  • Proactively spot gaps (brand inconsistency, missing guidelines, recurring request types) and fix them.

  • Turn client feedback into better systems, not endless back-and-forth.


5. Team Leadership and Coaching



  • Lead weekly team syncs: wins, blockers, priorities, and improvements.

  • Run feedback loops: 1:1 coaching, skill development plans, targeted training.

  • Maintain team morale and momentum while holding a high bar.


6. Process and Continuous Improvement



  • Improve briefing quality through better questions, examples, and guardrails.

  • Identify recurring friction (brief issues, QA issues, tool issues) and propose fixes.

  • Collaborate with production/customer success on workflows, expectations, and escalation paths.


What You’ll Work On



  • Web and landing page design (Figma)

  • Marketing assets (ads, social, email, lead magnets)

  • Brand systems (guidelines, templates, kits)

  • Pitch decks and presentations

  • Light motion direction (where relevant, depending on team focus)


What “Great” Looks Like (Success Metrics)



  • High QA pass rate and fewer client revisions for “avoidable” issues.

  • Predictable turnaround times and fewer late deliveries.

  • Higher client satisfaction scores / fewer escalations.

  • Designers improve month-over-month (quality + speed).

  • Strong reuse: templates and systems reduce repeat work.


Requirements


Must-haves:



  • 5+ years in design with 1–3+ years leading creatives (agency, subscription, or in-house).

  • Technical Fluency: Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Figma, and Canva.

  • Communication: Strong English skills (spoken and written).

  • Art Direction: Strong brand judgment, typography, composition, and art direction skills.

  • Reviewer Mindset: Your feedback is specific, actionable, and fast.

  • Calm Operator Energy: You keep quality high under load and manage multiple brands/projects at once.


Nice-to-haves:



  • Experience in design subscriptions, high-volume studios, or production environments.

  • Motion/video direction experience (After Effects, Premiere, etc.).

  • Experience building scalable design systems or brand kits.

  • Familiarity with project tools like Trello, Asana, or Jira.


Benefits


Compensation & Perks



  • Monthly Rate: $1,100-2,000 USD (negotiable based on experience).

  • Paid Time Off: 15 PTO days + 10 unpaid days + 2 sick days (after 6 months).

  • Incentives: Performance bonuses, work anniversary gifts, and career growth.

  • Flexibility: 100% permanent remote work with an async-friendly culture.

  • Location: Must be locally based in Latin America (LATAM).
