Overview
We’re looking for a Senior Design Director with a refined, tech-forward aesthetic to elevate the quality and consistency of our design output.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the visual development and refinement of design systems, signage, and brand applications.
• Ensure all design work meets the client’s taste, quality standards, and brand guidelines.

• Partner closely with Creative Director to take concepts through production-ready execution.

• Oversee a small team of designers and coordinate with the Design Manager for alignment and delivery.

• Provide fast, clear creative feedback and establish QA processes to maintain a high design standard.

• Maintain efficient organization, spec handoffs, and version control across files.

What We’re Looking For

• Senior-level graphic design direction experience, ideally with top Bay Area tech brands or agencies.

• Strong systems thinking and a clean, modern aesthetic.

• Expert in typography, layout, visual identity rollouts, and production design.

• Obsessed with detail, speed, and design precision.

• Fluent in Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud, with efficient workflow habits.

Nice to Have

• Experience refining or standardizing signage programs.

• Familiarity with San Francisco tech event and brand environments.

Not a Fit

• Pure experiential/XM leads without strong graphic design direction chops
