Senior Designer

Hi, we are Agenda

Equal parts business smart and creative heart. Founded in 1999, we’re an independent brand agency singularly focused on complex B2B businesses. We blend strategy, creativity and craft to help brands flourish and businesses grow. We work with the Fortune 500, challenger brands and new companies in equal measure.

We believe good work starts on the inside. Are you into the details, unapologetically yourself and maybe just a little bit weird? That’s cool, so are we.

About you

We’re looking for a sharp, imaginative and tenacious Senior Designer to join our team and help us in solving complex creative and strategic challenges for our clients. The ideal fit for this role is:

• Equal parts a strategic and creative thinker
• Deeply in love with all aspects of branding from the smallest detail to the largest brand ecosystem—every touchpoint matters
• Innately curious and passionate about all things brand and design, AND our clients’ businesses
• Driven to experiment with new and better ways of doing things
• Excited by the opportunity to collaborate, learn and grow from and with our team
• Filled with ideas that will elevate our work, thinking and creative exploration
• Dedicated, hungry and resourceful with an infectious sense of determination
• Not overly precious about your work—always open to feedback and pushing ideas to new places
• Equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves as you are guiding others—someone who leads with curiosity, empathy and a smart creative point of view.
• A multitasker and can handle an evolving project load with multiple clients and projects in the balance

We’re a small agency of people who genuinely enjoy working with each other. You’ll get to be involved in all sorts of different projects—no project is ever too big or too small. We run a flat structure made up of lean teams and you’ll be very much a part of that. There is plenty of opportunity to learn and expand your skill set with each project and grow within the agency.

Your responsibilities will include but are not limited to…

• Partnering with and supporting members of the design and strategy teams to conceptualize, design, build and extend successful brand experiences.
• Crafting identities from concept all the way through to execution (brand guidelines, templates, presentation design, websites, campaigns, brand activation, events and more).
• Establishing new visual design concepts and languages or working within and evolving existing ones. 
• Approaching design problems strategically and conceptually, with a constant desire to push the limits. 
• Ability to present work with confidence and react to client feedback
• Maintaining a deep awareness of the design landscape both historically and current and future trends. 
• Bringing fresh perspectives and bold ideas which push us daily.

Your experience

• 5-10 years of design agency experience (preferably in small to mid-size shops) working on strategic identity, print, digital and experience projects. 
• Portfolio must be comprised of at least 50% B2B branding work—there is no exception to this.
• Expert in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma. Animation skills are a plus but not required. Must have the willingness to learn new programs as the landscape evolves.
• Must have experience in web design.
• A strong understanding of grid systems, composition and color, with a keen eye for typography and meticulous attention to detail. 
• The eye of a photographer with the mind of an art director.
• A passion for clean, functional and purposeful design. 
• Note: The team is based in the NYC area, but we’re working remotely and willing to entertain long-term remote work for this position if you’re not located in the NYC area.

If this sounds like what you're looking for, let us know. We can't wait to meet. Please apply with your resume and link to your portfolio website and password if required. Do not direct message on LinkedIn.

Compensation: $90,000-110,000 depending on experience.

What We Offer: Competitive benefits, 401k match, generous PTO and remote work
