## Job description

Level Access is seeking a Team Lead, Design to own design creative direction and day-to-day design operations for Level Access.

You will actively incorporate AI-forward methodologies to enable scalable, efficient design workflows. This position requires strong leadership, collaboration, and a passion for maintaining consistency in our brand identity.

## Key Responsibilities

- Project manage and assign design tasks across the team, balancing priorities and deadlines
- Collaborate with other designers on both print and digital design projects
- Build and maintain design systems and reusable components (Figma libraries, templates, style guides)
- Serve as a player-coach for a small design team—leading, mentoring, and coaching team members while remaining hands-on in day-to-day design work

## Qualifications

- Demonstrated experience in creative direction or design leadership
- Strong project management skills — able to assign, track, and prioritize design work across a team
- Proficiency in Figma, including design systems and component libraries
- Experience working across both print and digital design
- Skilled at integrating AI tools into the design process
- Ability to work effectively across time zones; Eastern time zone availability preferred.

Preferred:

- Highly organized — able to manage multiple concurrent projects without dropping threads
- Creative, with a strong point of view on visual direction
- Comfortable working within — and evolving — established design systems rather than starting from scratch each time
- Strong collaborator, especially across time zones and with non-designers
