In brief
**Overview** This role is for a Senior Designer at Somewhere, a brand platform focused on acquiring, scaling, and revitalizing consumer brands in the U.S. The company aims to build a $100M+ portfolio of performance-driven brands and seeks individuals who are detail-oriented, take ownership, and want to build lasting products. The Senior Designer will join the creative team to shape the visual expression of a growing portfolio of consumer brands. It is a highly hands-on role requiring exceptional visual taste, strong digital craft, and a flexible creative mindset, with a major emphasis on generative AI. The work environment is described as a fast-paced startup where priorities can evolve, briefs may not always be perfectly defined, and designers are expected to bring judgment, curiosity, ownership, and solutions. The position is remote, open to candidates in SA/LatAm/PH, with a work schedule of 9am-5pm EST. The salary is market related. **What you will do** Key responsibilities include: * **Creative Across the Portfolio:** Developing creative across various digital touchpoints such as brand, e-commerce, campaigns, paid social, email, product launches, and landing pages. This involves translating existing brand identities into fresh creative while maintaining consistency, and taking projects from early ideas to polished final execution. * **Generative AI and Image-Making:** Extensively using generative AI throughout the creative process, including early exploration, concept development, image generation, and finished creative. This entails directing, prompting, iterating, compositing, and retouching AI-generated work to ensure it is sophisticated and commercially usable. * **Tools and Craft:** Working primarily with Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud, confidently moving between collaborative digital workflows and high-craft execution. The role also requires managing multiple brands, projects, and priorities simultaneously without compromising work quality. * **Cross-Team Collaboration:** Partnering closely with creative, brand, growth, retention, e-commerce, and product teams, and contributing references, ideas, creative perspectives, and thoughtful critique to the broader creative team. **Requirements (from the original advert)** * A strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional visual taste, typography, composition, and digital design craft. * Professional experience designing for consumer brands within DTC, CPG, lifestyle, beauty, wellness, food and beverage, or adjacent categories. * Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud, including strong experience working within collaborative design systems and digital workflows. * Strong hands-on experience with generative AI tools and workflows. * Strong image-making skills, including compositing, retouching, manipulation, and visual refinement. * An understanding of how brand systems translate into e-commerce and performance-driven digital environments without becoming generic performance creative. * The ability to work independently, make confident creative decisions, and clearly communicate the thinking behind them. * Comfort in a fast-moving startup environment, where priorities can shift and ambiguity is part of the process. * The flexibility to move between different brands, aesthetics, audiences, and creative challenges. * Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. * A collaborative mindset and the confidence to give, receive, and act on creative feedback. * Strong English communication skills. *Nice to Have (not required):* * Packaging and print production experience, particularly within CPG. * Experience with motion, e-commerce platforms, or emerging creative technologies. **Who should apply** The ideal candidate is described as a senior-level designer with a strong visual point of view and the judgment to recognize what makes something good. They do not fit neatly into a single design specialty, being curious, adaptable, visually obsessive, and exceptionally resourceful. This individual should be equally comfortable building a system in Figma, developing imagery through generative AI, refining it in Photoshop, adapting a brand across digital touchpoints, and solving creative problems they haven't encountered before. They thrive in the speed, variety, and ambiguity of a startup and multi-brand portfolio, maintaining a consistently high bar for taste, craft, creativity, and attention to detail. This role is for someone who already sees AI as part of the creative process, comfortable directing, prompting, iterating, selecting, compositing, retouching, and refining AI-generated work into commercially usable creative, and who can bring judgment, curiosity, ownership, and solutions without always waiting for instructions. **Deadline** Not specified **Reference** Original posting: https://recruitcrm.io/apply/17924305082760072484Ghg?source=Jobspage&new=yes Source: somewhere
