Senior Brand Designer

Senior Brand Designer

We are looking for a Senior Brand Designer to help shape and scale the visual identity of one of the most exciting brands in travel. You'll be at the forefront of creative storytelling — crafting campaigns, building brand design systems, and creating work that moves people. You'll join a team of designers, writers, and makers who deeply care about pushing craft, adding delight, and shaping a brand that's warm, bold, and memorable. If you thrive at the intersection of strategy and storytelling, and want your work to be seen by millions — this one's for you.

What Makes This Role Special?

Creative ownership. From day one, you'll lead projects that define how Headout looks and feels — across product launches, maps, merch, social, and more. You'll turn abstract ideas into iconic visuals.

Systems with soul. You'll contribute to the evolution of our brand design system, helping to scale everything from illustration libraries and marketing campaign identities to map styles and guidelines for new cities.

End-to-end storytelling. Work closely with product, content, marketing, and print media teams to craft experiences that not only look great but also tell compelling stories and drive meaningful impact.

Global surface area. Design for a truly global audience — whether it's a skip-the-line ticket in Rome or a river cruise in Dubai. You'll bring local flavor and visual nuance to every touchpoint.

Craft that matters. You'll work with a team that sweats the small stuff — from micro-interactions to macro moments — and believes that great design is both intentional and emotional.

What Skills & Experience Do You Need?

• 3–6 years of brand or visual design experience in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
• A portfolio that demonstrates a strong command of visual storytelling, brand systems, strategic thinking, layout, typography, and identity design. Projects that highlight an ability to create cohesive, impactful brand experiences across diverse platforms
• Hands-on experience in creating digital marketing assets, microsites, campaigns, illustrations, and scalable design systems, along with a good understanding of print media.
• Proficiency in tools like Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop — and the curiosity to explore new ones
• Strong attention to detail paired with the ability to ship at speed
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams and giving/receiving thoughtful feedback
• Ability to clearly present and communicate design rationale to teammates and stakeholders
• A builder's mindset — you enjoy bringing structure to ambiguity and leading your own work from start to finish
• Use of AI for ideation and visual generation

Bonus Points

• Experience designing for global audiences and multi-market brands
• Motion design, spatial/3D, or Webflow/Framer skills
• A love for travel, culture, and storytelling
• Prior experience mentoring junior designers or leading initiatives
• Side projects, experiments, or a unique design point of view
