Sr. Designer, Contract | BASIC/DEPT®

WHY DEPT®?

We are pioneers at heart. What this means, is that we are always leaning forward, thinking of what we can create tomorrow that does not exist today. We were born digital and we are a new model of agency, with a deep skillset in tech and marketing. That’s why we hire curious, self-driven, talented people who never stop innovating.

Our culture is big enough to cope and small enough to care. Meaning, that with people across 20+ countries, we’re big enough to provide you with the best tools, global opportunities, and benefits that help you thrive. While acting small by investing in you, your growth, your team, and giving you the autonomy to solve our clients problems, no matter where you are in the world. 

The Senior Designer is an integral part of the BASIC/DEPT® team and helps to provide support to one of its major clients. You will design experiences that set the standards for others to follow. You do this through conceptual direction, production, sketching, prototyping, and planning.  You are design-focused, detail-oriented, excellent at collaborating and multitasking, and eager to be part of a team that makes things come to life. 

This person will regularly exercise discretion and independent judgment and will be involved in design, digital experience, eCommerce and lifestyle, and technology content to create experiences that deeply connect with people.
