Job Description

A client is looking for a Principal/lead Designer to drive transformative, customer-centered creative across streaming digital surfaces.
This is a high-impact role where design excellence, systems thinking, and strategic leadership converge. You’ll collaborate closely with stakeholders across editorial, product, marketing, and technology to define design frameworks and creative systems that scale.
You’ll also be working across major properties in our client's portfolio, helping shape how millions of customers experience these iconic brands across the platform.

What You’ll Do
• Partner with the Sr. Director and the Art Director to develop and implement transformative creative concepts that elevate platform experiences and drive customer growth and engagement.
• Set creative direction and lead execution across cross-platform editorial and promotional content on owned and operated properties — including product surfaces, CRM, and campaign-driven landing pages.
• Author creative briefs, define requirements, and articulate strategic vision to align creative output with business and customer objectives.
• Design and evolve scalable systems for imagery, templates, and metadata-driven workflows, enabling automation of high-velocity content like sports, live events, and seasonal programming.
• Collaborate with product managers, developers, marketing leads, and editorial teams to solve complex design and workflow challenges across platforms.
• Apply expertise in UX/UI and responsive product design to improve how customers discover, navigate, and engage with content.
• Use motion design and After Effects to enhance storytelling, interactivity, platform and marketing aesthetics.
• Contribute to the exploration and implementation of AI tools and prompt engineering, pushing creative boundaries and improving efficiency.
• Mentor and guide junior and senior designers, promoting high standards in craft, collaboration, and communication.
