[Hiring] Senior Designer @Radish Lab

Role Description

As Senior Designer you'll report to our Creative Director and be at the center of Radish's creative work from concept through delivery. We're a team of 12: designers, developers, strategists, and project managers. Small enough that you'll have a real say in how we work and how we improve, but taking on projects with the scope and complexity of much larger agencies.

At any given time, you'll likely be working across two to three client projects in different stages:

• One in early concepting
• Another deep in design production
• Another in developer handoff

Some projects are large organizational websites that span months. Others are tighter brand sprints or work for existing clients. The pace varies, but the constant is that you're the lead designer on the work, with the Creative Director as your close collaborator and a project manager keeping things on track.

• Concept, design, and iterate on websites and brands for social impact organizations
• Translate strategy and wireframes into polished, production-ready visual design in Figma
• Develop and maintain design systems, UI kits, and style guides
• Present concepts and design work to clients, guiding conversation and decision-making when needed
• Prepare files for developer handoff with clear annotations, responsive specifications, and attention to accessibility
• Work closely with project managers to understand deadlines, budgets, and deliverables
• Balance creative ambition with project realities: scope, timeline, and budget
• Collaborate with developers to ensure designs translate cleanly to the built product
• Participate in weekly staffing meetings and project planning
• Help improve internal design processes, templates, and workflows
• Support new business efforts with ideas or design concepts when needed
• Stay current on design tools, trends, and best practices and share what you learn with the team
