The OpportunityThe Sr. Specialist, Graphic Design translates creative direction into beautifully executed design across Ally's in-house work. Working from the tone and vision the Creative Director sets, this is a maker who brings a keen eye for design, layout, balance, and weight to resolving concepts into polished, on-brand work.
The role is equal parts translator and executor. You take your creative direction from the Creative Director and carry that direction through to finished design that holds to a high standard. You'll also help govern and guide the design practices and principles that keep the team's work consistent and well-crafted. And you'll move fluidly across formats and channels - brand, campaign, digital, print, and presentation - bringing the same level of craft to each.
