Responsibilities

• Set and uphold the creative standard across all client accounts. Ensure every deliverable reflects strategic intent, brand integrity, and design excellence - from brand identity systems and campaign concepting to social content, digital ads, email, web UI, and print.
• Directly manage a team of graphic designers and serve as their primary creative resource. Provide clear direction, meaningful feedback, and ongoing development to build a strong, collaborative creative culture.
• Lead client-facing creative conversations as the senior creative voice in the room. Facilitate intake, present creative, incorporate feedback, and proactively communicate project status. Build trust with clients by connecting design decisions to business outcomes.
• Develop and govern brand systems for clients across every touchpoint. Champion living brand documentation that scales - style guides, component libraries, asset templates - and ensure consistency is maintained as brands grow.
• Maintain a clear view of all active projects, timelines, and capacity. Help prioritize work across the team, problem-solve when scope evolves, and ensure high-volume accounts (weekly podcast deliverables, recurring social, email campaigns) are executed on time without sacrificing quality.
• Partner with agency leadership and account leads to shape creative strategy from the earliest stages of a project. Translate briefs into compelling creative directions and push concepts beyond the expected.
• Bring fresh perspective to how Grayson Sky presents its own brand. Contribute to pitches, proposals, and agency marketing with the same rigor applied to client work.
• Monitor design, branding, and digital trends. Identify opportunities to integrate new tools, including AI-powered design tools, to improve efficiency and elevate output.
