Senior Designer - UI

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 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.
We're looking for a Senior visual designer to join the Marketing and Communications team at R/GA. This person will play an integral role in how R/GA shows up in the world - designing everything from daily Instagram content to quarterly reports and data visualizations for proprietary thought leadership. They will work closely with the Brand Marketing team to define R/GA's visual identity on owned channels and guide the implementation and evolution of our external and internal brand.
