The Role

We're looking for a Design Lead to join our NYC team in-office. This is a senior leadership role on Loop's creative team that will partner closely with our CEO and Head of Marketing. You'll lead the design function at Loop. Setting the visual bar for everything we make. That means not only owning Loop's brand but also building the social systems and templates that scale across client work, designing the decks, and making sure every visual touchpoint reflects the level of craft we bring to the work itself. This is a role with art director scope and ownership, even though you'll be operating as an individual contributor. If the prospect of being the design backbone of a fast-growing agency sounds fun, you're in the right place. 

Please note all Loop roles require mandatory 4 days in office per week, working out of our DUMBO office in Brooklyn.

What You'll Own

• Brand social systems for client work. Templates, layouts, and visual frameworks that scale across feed, stories, carousels, Reels, and emerging formats
• Visual consistency across client campaign ecosystems, ensuring all outputs ladder back to a unified creative vision
• Deck and presentation design across pitches, proposals, case studies, and active project decks. Translating strategy and creative thinking into clear, compelling visual narratives that win business and keep clients impressed
• Design templates and systems that make it easier for the broader team to produce on-brand work independently
• Moodboards, styleframes, and visual references that set the tone early in a project
• Social-first asset libraries and design documentation that let clients and their teams keep the work consistent after handoff

What You'll Lead

• The visual standard for all Loop-facing and client-facing designed materials. Effectively acting as the in-house art director for everything Loop produces
• Collaboration with leads, strategists, and account teams to ensure design is serving the story
• The translation of strategic briefs into visual systems that are both beautiful and buildable in a fast-moving environment
