Job Description

Responsibilities

The Team Lead manages and mentors a small pod of Experience Designers, elevating craft, systems thinking, and platform fluency. They provide timely, hands-on guidance during active project work—stepping in when needed to model standards and course-correct direction. Through clear, actionable feedback, they strengthen both technical skill and strategic judgment.
While not carrying a daily production load, the Team Lead remains production-fluent and steps into execution when complexity or team support requires it. They guide work across motion-informed banner ecosystems and modular email systems, ensuring strong hierarchy and brand fidelity. They translate brand guidelines into scalable executions and apply motion literacy to ensure animation and interactive behaviors are purposeful and feasible.
The Team Lead ensures practitioners design within real platform constraints and production realities. They balance creative ambition with technical feasibility and regulatory guardrails, anticipating risks related to over-complexity or scope drift. Their oversight ensures clean handoffs to development and deployment teams, protecting both quality and efficiency.
In close collaboration with Project Operations, the Team Lead aligns scope, budget, and timeline with executional realities. They advocate for appropriate resource allocation, and clear boundaries that protect margin. Their leadership reinforces predictability, clarity, and disciplined delivery.
The Team Lead upholds standards of system-aware, reuse-driven design. They review and elevate team outputs for consistency, clarity, and craft—ensuring brand expression translates effectively across modular and motion-based environments. They raise the bar not only on aesthetics, but on structural precision and executional excellence.
A steady and confident presence, the Team Lead contributes meaningfully in client and internal forums. They partner closely with Brand and Strategy SMEs to ensure alignment between message, experience, and performance goals, while advocating for Experience Design methodologies across the broader agency ecosystem.
