[Hiring] Media Design Lead @Ologie

Role Description

We're looking for a Design Lead who can bring big ideas to life across our media campaigns — digital, social, out-of-home, video, and print. You'll take brand guidelines, campaign strategies, and media plans and turn them into iconic, impactful, and influential creative. This means leading concepts from the first sketch to the final polished assets, keeping everything on-brand, and teaming up with strategists, media planners, writers, creative directors, and account folks to create campaigns built to scale. You'll also get to mentor early-career designers and creatives, and help shape our creative process.

You'll need a passion for your craft and a curiosity for what's possible, translating conceptual ideas into engaging, audience-focused ads. With a fluency in digital design systems and a keen understanding of multimedia, you'll use a robust understanding of platform-specific best practices and creative ingenuity to deliver top-tier ads. In this role, you'll work in a feedback-driven environment, balancing conceptual thinking with production expertise while continuously pushing boundaries in design, technology, and culture to create work that's data-informed and human-focused.
