About R/GA
R/GA is a global digital innovation agency specializing in digital product development, brand transformation, media, and communications for major companies. We are on a mission to help companies grow by enabling them to change, across their business, the experience they offer and the campaigns that take them to market.

Our work tends to be a fusion of what we call Stories and Systems: the narrative and the design, technology and the interface working together. R/GA is a brand but it's also a collective of atypical outsiders and misfits who drive everything we do through bold creativity and bright, strategic thinking.

About The Role
Our Designers are makers and storytellers that use design to bring ideas to life. They lead projects into uncharted creative territories and create new outcomes. They're design fundamentalists, but approach projects with a systems and stories mindset. They identify user needs, interpret client challenges, create innovative concepts and define visual language.This particular opening is to join the Product & Experience discipline at R/GA, playing an integral role within our Google team as a Product Designer. In this role, you'll help our products come to life. This includes everything from wireframes, producing content narratives, creating Figma component libraries, and creating bespoke page experiences. This person will work closely within leads, helping to produce our visions, as well as mentor junior talent.
