Small Planet

Small Planet is hiring a Creative Director to join our growing Experience Design team. We’re looking for a design leader who can drive the process and output of digital projects from inception to launch and beyond.

Outstanding candidates will be equally fluent in UX and visual design and be able to point to successful work across multiple platforms (iOS, Android, web). And they will care deeply about making meaningful experiences that place the user’s goals and needs at the center.

Creative Directors at Small Planet collaborate closely with Producers, Developers, and other Designers to create world-class digital products that improve people’s lives and drive business success. This is a great opportunity to work with smart, hard-working people who care about each other and about the work. This position is full-time, with the option to work remotely or to join us in our Brooklyn office.

What You’ll Do

• Be ultimately accountable for the design process and output of digital projects
• Contribute directly to all project phases, from research and strategy to concepting and design execution
• Create elegant design solutions that balance user needs with client goals
• Manage and mentor other Designers
• Present & defend design solutions and design rationale clearly and persuasively

What We’re Looking For

• 7+ years of hands-on experience designing and shipping digital products
• Outstanding portfolio of visual design
• Willingness to engage with and solve complex UX problems
• Strong product sensibility—a knack for arriving at a compelling product vision, informed by research, experience, and intuition
• Experience collaborating closely on cross-functional teams and managing designers
• Familiarity with current design trends and best practices
• Fluency with common design & prototyping tools
• Working knowledge of related disciplines such as branding, digital marketing, animation, video, etc.
• Proficiency in HTML, CSS, and Javascript
• Superior communication skills–whether it’s ideas, hard news, requirements, or whatever, communicating clearly and often is key here
