About The Position
SearchKings is hiring a Creative Digital Designer to elevate our Web & Creative Services team.
In this new role, you will define the visual strategy that drives conversion. You will leverage a modern, tech-forward workflow to deliver high-fidelity designs for internal initiatives and client marketing campaigns. You will work cross-functionally with Developers, Project Managers, and stakeholders to bridge the gap between aesthetic excellence and performance metrics.
We are seeking a designer who embodies the future of the industry, someone who seamlessly integrates traditional design principles with advanced Figma expertise and the efficiency of Al-augmented workflows.
What You Will Do
* Visual Branding: Develop, maintain, and evolve comprehensive Brand Guidelines for SearchKings and key clients, ensuring consistency across all touchpoints (web, video, and print).
* Campaign Creative: conceptualize and execute visually stunning advertising creative (static and motion) that breaks through the noise of modern feeds.
* Future-Proof Workflows: Champion the use of Figma, Adobe Products and Ai integration. You will utilize Al to align design tokens with development, ensuring that your creative vision is perfectly translated into code without manual friction.
* Strategic Communication: Act as a strategic bridge between stakeholders and production, translating complex visions into polished, high-performance designs.
Key Qualifications
Creative & Brand Mastery
* Brand Systems Architecture: You have a portfolio demonstrating the creation and maintenance of robust brand guidelines. You know how to build a visual language that scales across different media (digital, print, event, merch).
* Visual Storytelling: You don't just design "assets"; you tell stories. You have a strong background in art direction, typography, and colour theory, with the ability to evoke emotion through design.
* Trend Fluency: You stay ahead of the curve in the design world. You are familiar with current aesthetic shifts and can articulate why a design looks "dated" vs. "modern."
Technical Innovation
* Figma + Ai You are comfortable working in a modern, Al-assisted pipeline. You understand how to use Ai in tandem with Figma to bridge the gap between creative intent and frontend implementation (e.g., managing design tokens, checking feasibility, or prototyping complex interactions). Cursor, Microsoft Clarity and more tools should guide your design decisions.
* Advanced Adobe Creative Cloud: High-level proficiency in Illustrator (branding/vectors), Photoshop (high-end compositing), and After Effects (motion graphics).
Professional Leadership
* Communication: You can explain a creative concept to a client or stakeholder with passion and clarity.
* Project Management: Ability to manage multiple creative lanes simultaneously, switching from a branding project to a web project.
* Attention to Detail: You are the person who notices when a logo is 2px off-center. You value polish and craftsmanship above all else.
In addition to the above technical skills, a member of our team must possess the following skills:
Strong multitasking skills to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
* Delivery of high-quality, well-tested work in a timely manner.
* An understanding of what makes a design attractive from a customer's perspective.
* Attention to detail and a passion for delivering high-quality design solutions.
* Enjoy working in a fast-paced, growing company that has a lot of fun!
