🚀 Your Role at a Glance: The key ways you'll bring value to the team

At Wayflyer, we believe great design is as much about how we execute as what we execute. Our Brand Design team is looking for a Senior Brand Designer to bring structure, clarity, and momentum to our creative process. This hybrid role (50% hands-on design work, 50% project management) combines creative execution with the ability to orchestrate our design workflow. This is a critical role that sits at the intersection of design, marketing, and product, ensuring that all brand-related tasks, from high-impact campaigns to evergreen assets, are scoped, prioritized, resourced, and delivered with excellence.

This is not a conventional role, but rather a perfect blend of creator and coordinator. The ideal candidate has strong design skills to produce exceptional work themselves, complemented by outstanding time management and stakeholder alignment capabilities. You'll directly contribute to design projects while also working with other designers, marketers, product managers, external contractors (motion designers, illustrators, web designers), and service providers to ensure all work flows efficiently and meets our creative and strategic standards.

We’re looking for someone with high agency, someone who proactively identifies gaps, solves problems before they escalate, and takes full ownership over outcomes. You won’t just track timelines, you’ll drive progress.

• Design and create brand assets while also managing the end-to-end execution pipeline for Brand Design projects, ensuring smooth operations across tasks, timelines, tools, and teams.
• Balance hands-on design work (50%) with project management responsibilities (50%), delivering high-quality creative output while orchestrating the overall workflow.
• Align closely with internal stakeholders (Marketing, Product, Comms, and Leadership) to gather requirements, define scopes, and prioritize work based on strategic impact.
• Serve as the main point of contact for external creative collaborators, including illustrators, animators, web designers, and production vendors.
• Translate project goals into clear, actionable plans, with milestones, review cycles, and deadlines, adapting for both agile sprints and larger campaign timelines.
• Audit and improve how work is scoped, briefed, assigned, tracked, reviewed, and approved across the Brand Design team.
• Use AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Lovable, Claude, Notion AI, etc) to streamline brief creation, summarize stakeholder input, track action items, and support planning documentation.
• Proactively identify resourcing needs, bandwidth risks, and potential roadblocks, and propose solutions to keep projects moving.
• Apply your design expertise to projects while simultaneously building clarity out of ambiguity, distilling evolving requests into structured plans.
• Facilitate feedback loops, stand-ups, sprint planning, and retros, championing a culture of clarity, feedback, and continuous improvement while contributing your own design perspective.
• Keep brand consistency and creative ambition high by ensuring nothing gets lost in the shuffle of execution, leveraging your dual role as both designer and coordinator.

🔨 What Makes You a Great Fit

• 7+ years of combined experience in both design execution and project management, ideally in a tech-driven company.
• Strong design skills with a portfolio demonstrating your creative capabilities alongside your organizational prowess.
• Demonstrated ability to balance hands-on design work with coordinating multiple projects simultaneously.
• High agency: You're proactive, self-directed, and thrive on taking ownership, moving projects forward even in ambiguity.
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail, making complexity feel simple while maintaining creative excellence.
• Experience collaborating with both internal teams and managing external creative partners.
• Outstanding communication skills, you clarify ambiguity, negotiate diplomatically, and build alignment across stakeholders.
• Proficiency in design tools (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma) and project management platforms (Notion, Asana, etc.).
• Familiarity with using AI tools to improve efficiency, automate repetitive tasks, or generate documentation.
• Passion for both creating beautiful design work and building better ways of working.

How You’ll Stand Out

• Hands-on design or content creation background.
• Experience working in a fast-paced or scaling environment.
• Familiarity with brand systems, campaign planning, or creative operations.
• Comfortable presenting plans, roadmaps, or retrospectives to senior stakeholders.
• Knowledge of vendor contracting or budgeting for creative services.
• AI proficiency (e.g., prompt engineering, workflow automation) in support of creative or operational output.
