About the Role
At Monks, Senior Designers are the backbone of creative execution at scale. You bring equal parts craft, systems thinking, and creative ambition — translating brand vision into high-quality assets that perform across global campaigns, platforms, and moments. This is not just a production role. You'll operate confidently in the space between established brand guidelines and new creative territory, pushing boundaries while ensuring every deliverable meets the highest standard of quality.

- Operate confidently in the "gray space" — blending established brand guidelines with fresh creative thinking to find new ways of expressing the brand
- Develop, maintain, and evolve style guides and design systems built for scale, ensuring assets are consistent, adaptable, and platform-ready
- Own quality assurance across deliverables — serving as the final reviewer before work reaches senior stakeholder or client review
- Guide and supervise a team of production designers, providing clear creative direction, feedback, and support to ensure efficient, on-brand output
- Push the boundaries of what's possible within Figma — leveraging its full capabilities to create outstanding designs and invent smarter ways of working
- Collaborate with creative directors, strategists, producers, and technologists to deliver solutions that are both creatively strong and commercially effective
- Present and articulate design decisions clearly and confidently to internal teams and stakeholders
