About the RoleWe're looking for a Senior Designer to help shape how Unclaimed Baggage looks, feels, and shows up in the world.

- Design and produce polished, on-brand assets across digital, social, email, in-store signage, experiential experiences, and print
- Own print production end to end, prepping files, managing vendors and timelines, running press checks, and proofing final output
- Brief, direct, and review work from freelance designers and outside contract creatives, keeping their output on-brand and on-strategy
- Steward and evolve the UB visual identity, keeping it distinct, consistent, and on strategy
- Juggle multiple concurrent projects across a fast-moving retail calendar without losing quality
- Project Execution: Owns design tasks from initial concept to final delivery, including layouts, branding, and digital assets
- Brand Guardian: Protects brand identity and consistency across all platforms and campaigns

- Comfort moving fast, making decisions, and owning work end to end
- A collaborative style: you can take a brief and build on someone else's idea as easily as your own
NICE TO HAVE- Experience with retail, e-commerce, or purpose-driven / sustainability-led brands
- Basic motion or video editing skills
