• We are Apolitical - we do not take a position on political or social topics, unless it relates to our Mission

This role 

As part of our brand-new in-house agency, Hero Collective, we're looking for a conceptual powerhouse: a Senior Designer who doesn't just make things look good, but makes ideas land. You'll bring fresh thinking, craft exceptional brand work, and shape creative that resonates across every platform.

This role is all about big thinking, bold art direction, and impactful design. You'll collaborate with copywriters, illustrators, motion designers, and marketers to bring campaign-driven, scroll-stopping creative to life.

If you've got sharp instincts, strategic vision, and a passion for design that drives outcomes, this one's for you.

This will include

• Design that hits hard Create visuals that are as strategic as they are stunning, no cookie-cutter templates. You'll craft everything from landing pages and paid ads to social content, emails, event collateral, and print. Your work should feel fresh, perform well, and always push the brand forward.
• Own the creative vision Strong art direction isn't optional here—it's core to the role. You bring fresh, original thinking and push ideas beyond the obvious. You're there from the start, shaping the creative concept and making sure the narrative is clear, compelling, and consistent across every channel.
• Lead the work, together You own integrated campaigns from first spark to final delivery. You think in systems, not just assets, and bring creative direction that aligns with strategy. But you're not doing it alone—you partner with writers, marketers, motion designers, and global teams to build bold, campaign-driven work. As a remote-first team, you bring clear, proactive communication to every brief, feedback loop, and sprint.
• Push the creative edge We're not here to play it safe, and neither are you. You're plugged into what's next: emerging trends, design tech, platform shifts. You use that insight to keep our creative sharp and ahead of the curve. You don't chase trends; you make smart calls on when and how to use them.
• You're that AI person You bring AI into your process with intention, whether it's generating concepts, building faster workflows, or testing ideas. You're not just following the tools; you're helping shape how we use them as a team. Curiosity and experimentation are part of your DNA.
• Champion the brand You don't just design. You think in brand. You get the strategy behind the visuals and make sure your work strengthens the story. You'll help shape templates, toolkits, and guardrails that balance consistency with creative freedom.

Who you are 

To thrive at Employment Hero, you'll need to embody The EH Way - operating with focus, agility, and an obsession with impact. For this role, you'll also bring

• 6+ years in a creative studio, in-house team, or agency
• 3+ years as a Senior Designer or Art Director
• A folio full of brand-led, concept-driven, high-impact work
• A strategic thinker with strong design and art direction chops
• Collaborative, curious, and highly communicative
• Detail-oriented, but never loses sight of the big picture
• Comfortable working in a remote, fast-paced, agile team

• Proven experience across the whole marketing ecosystem and integrated campaigns: OOH, paid + organic social, web, motion/video, print, digital
• Fresh ideas that push our brand in new territories conceptually and with technology
• Real-world AI experience—prompting, iterating, innovating 
• Must feel comfortable collaborating on motion projects and speaking the language of editors and animators

• Bonus: light motion design skills or familiarity with AE/Premiere; experience with digital UX/UI
