About the Role

Monks are seeking a creative Designer to lead the development of digital ads and assets for various brands. This role requires balancing speed, style, and scale to produce high-quality visual content that resonates across multiple platforms.

Responsibilities:

Creative Strategy & Conceptualisation

• From Pitch to Brief: Ideate and create style proposals to win pitches, then translate high-level creative briefs into thorough design briefs that guide the production process.
• Execution of Art Direction: Translate concepts into style proposals, mockups, and storyboards, providing innovative ideas and best-practice inspiration to elevate the creative output.

Digital & Social Specialisation

• Interactive Storytelling: Specialise in crafting interactive assets and motion graphics that combine aesthetics with functional storytelling for social media and digital channels.
• Cultural Relevance: Apply an understanding of current cultural and platform-specific trends to ensure designs are relevant and engaging.

Collaboration & Quality Control

• Cross-Functional Alignment: Work closely with Project Managers, Producers, and QA teams to ensure all designs align with client expectations and brand guidelines.
• Technical Excellence: Ensure pixel-perfect execution and safeguard quality throughout the design process, including supporting the production team during multi-market rollouts.

About You

The essentials:

• 3–5 years of experience as a Designer or Art Director, with a strong portfolio showcasing expertise in digital design and advertising.
• End-to-end design proficiency: Proven ability to handle all stages of the process—from conceptualization and layout to final file setup and delivery.
• Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop for digital; InDesign and Illustrator for print) and Figma (basic knowledge with a desire to grow).
• Experience with AI image generation and prompting, paired with an enthusiastic, forward-thinking approach to using AI for creative efficiency.
• Strong grasp of design fundamentals (typography, hierarchy, grids) and production nuances like platform limitations, safe zones, and language versioning.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with teams and clients, including the confidence to present and justify design decisions.
• A fast, flexible, and resourceful worker who maintains meticulously organized files/layers and can work independently or handle repetitive tasks with focus.
• Ready to jump into various production needs, including creating design libraries, sourcing images, and resizing assets for multi-platform delivery.
  

Not a must, but a plus:

• Proven experience in creating interactive platform projects and user-centric UI designs.
• Deep understanding of social media dynamics and current cultural trends to create engaging, platform-specific content.
• Proficient in working with dielines and diverse vendor specifications for high-quality print execution.

At Monks, we believe in fostering an environment where a diversity of perspectives can thrive. We proactively work to design hiring processes that promote equity and inclusion while mitigating bias. We celebrate diversity and are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve.
