[Hiring] Senior Graphic Designer @Pluralsight

Role Description

Pluralsight is on a mission to shape the future of tech upskilling, and our brand is how the world meets that mission. We're looking for a multidisciplinary creative designer with outstanding conceptual thinking, exceptional design craft, and the ability to independently lead high-impact creative work.

As a Senior Graphic Designer at Pluralsight, you'll shape how our brand comes to life across campaigns, digital experiences, web, events, motion, and other marketing channels. You'll go beyond executing briefs to develop original concepts, establish creative direction, challenge conventional approaches, and deliver work that stands out in the market.

This is a hands-on, manager-caliber individual contributor role with significant creative ownership. You'll be trusted to lead complex initiatives, influence senior stakeholders, guide creative partners, and manage work from concept through delivery with minimal oversight. We're looking for someone who raises the standard of creative work while making the entire team more effective.

Everyone on our creative team is a maker. You'll remain deeply involved in concepting, designing, and producing work yourself while providing the creative leadership needed to keep projects moving and the team performing at its best.

What you'll do

• Creative Direction and Execution:
  • Independently concept, art direct, design, and execute distinctive creative across integrated campaigns, digital advertising, web, social, events, presentations, motion, and other brand experiences.
  • Translate business objectives and audience insights into compelling creative concepts that push beyond conventional B2B marketing approaches.
  • Own high-impact initiatives from strategy through final production, establishing visual direction while remaining actively involved in hands-on execution.
  • Develop cohesive campaign concepts and scalable design systems that balance originality, brand consistency, accessibility, and cross-channel effectiveness.
  • Help evolve Pluralsight's visual identity, identifying opportunities to strengthen differentiation and elevate creative quality.
• Creative Leadership and Operational Ownership:
  • Serve as a senior creative authority, independently making decisions and maintaining creative quality without requiring continuous oversight.
  • Lead creative projects through competing priorities, stakeholder feedback, approvals, and production, proactively resolving roadblocks and keeping work on track.
  • Provide art direction, critique, and hands-on guidance to designers, contractors, and agencies, improving both individual work and overall team output.
  • Identify opportunities to streamline workflows, improve collaboration, and expand creative capacity through scalable processes and emerging technologies, including AI.
• Strategic Partnership and Influence:
  • Confidently represent Creative in cross-functional and executive conversations, presenting recommendations and guiding stakeholders toward decisions.
  • Challenge prescriptive requests when appropriate, helping partners clarify business problems and develop stronger creative solutions.
  • Use audience insights, performance data, and experimentation to inform creative decisions and improve outcomes.

Qualifications

• Strong understanding of responsive web design, usability, accessibility, and digital experience principles.
• Experience working in B2B technology, SaaS, or other complex business environments.

Requirements

• 8+ years of related experience (or equivalent combination of education and experience); or 6+ years of related experience with an advanced degree (Master’s/Doctorate).
• An outstanding portfolio demonstrating original conceptual thinking, sophisticated visual execution, and multidisciplinary creative range.
• Proven experience independently leading complex creative initiatives from concept through production, including establishing creative direction and making key decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to develop distinctive integrated campaign concepts, not simply execute individual assets within established guidelines.
• Advanced hands-on design capabilities, including expert command of typography, composition, visual storytelling, and design fundamentals.
• Strong experience across brand and campaign design, with demonstrated versatility in digital, web, social, events, motion, or related disciplines.
• Advanced proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud.

• Experience providing creative direction and improving the work of other designers or external creative partners.
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage creative priorities, coordinate stakeholders, resolve challenges, and deliver high-quality work with minimal oversight.
