adeo's Senior Designer, Brand + Digital leads brand identity and complex website design from brief through launch. This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who can understand the problem, establish a design direction in collaboration with the Creative Director and project team, present it to clients and carry the work through implementation.

You're as intellectually curious as you are creatively curious. You ask good questions, write clearly and connect design decisions to what an organization and its audience need. Your portfolio shows distinctive identities and substantial digital experiences, with strong typography, thoughtful systems and attention to detail throughout.

You care about how an experience feels as much as how it works: the typography, composition, white space, flow and pacing. You use motion, animation and interaction to guide attention, express a brand and create moments of surprise and delight. You know when restraint makes the work stronger, and when an unexpected detail can make it memorable.

You're also experimenting with AI and new ways of making things. You can show us what you've tried, explain what you learned and use that learning to improve the work. You'll have room to shape the design direction on your projects and help raise adeo's design standard as the agency grows, working with values-aligned organizations.

You'll work closely with the design team, strategists, writers, developers, project managers and external partners. We care about the idea and the execution: the typography, the interaction, the way a system handles real content and whether the finished experience delivers on its promise.
