Fresh Consulting
Who we are:
At Fresh, we partner with clients, leverage strategy, design, development, and engineering to harness the power of technology and create what's next. We bring together amazing designers, sophisticated developers, talented strategists, and experienced engineers to help companies create optimized experiences that connect humans, systems, and machines. People are the core of everything we do. Our cross-disciplinary approach blends human ingenuity and technology, empowering us to meet uncertainty with confidence. What got us there today won't get us to tomorrow. We test our assumptions and always strive for growth. From the products we build to the partners we collaborate with, we believe people make the difference. As a Manager, Digital Design , you'll help shape not only the work we deliver, but how we work together. You'll lead multiple client engagements across a portfolio of digital products and services while helping designers do their best work. You'll partner closely with project managers, developers, industrial designers, and studio leadership to ensure projects are well-defined, thoughtfully executed, and delivered at a consistently high standard. This role balances design craft, operations, people management, and mentoring. You'll manage designers directly, oversee work across project teams, and help build the collaborative multidisciplinary studio environment we're growing at Fresh. What You'll Do Lead Design Across Projects
You'll work closely with:
As a consulting practice, every engagement is an opportunity to build long-term relationships. You'll contribute to project planning, staffing, estimates, proposals, and client presentations, helping ensure we deliver exceptional work while continuing to grow the practice. What We're Looking For
At Fresh, we believe design is evolving. The value of a designer no longer comes from mastering a particular tool. It comes from understanding people, framing problems, connecting disciplines, and turning ideas into meaningful products and services. As AI changes how software is created, our work increasingly depends on judgment, collaboration, systems thinking, and creative leadership. We're building a multidisciplinary studio where designers, developers, strategists, and industrial designers work together to solve problems that none could solve alone. If you're energized by thoughtful collaboration, enjoy mentoring others, and want to help shape the future of design consulting, we'd love to meet you. Please submit your portfolio link for consideration. At Fresh Consulting, we strive to hire a workforce representative of the communities we serve, understanding that a diverse workforce strengthens our organization. We value diversity and support a positive and welcoming environment where all of our employees can thrive. For Washington-based roles, the base salary hiring range for this position is $130,000 to $145,000. Compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Equal employment opportunity: All qualified persons will be considered for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, marital status, familial status, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability for which a reasonable accommodation can be made or any other status protected by law. Assistance will be gladly provided upon request for any applicant with sensory or non-sensory disabilities. *Fresh Consulting is a participating E-Verify company.
