Senior Designer

We are Matchbox Studio, a full-service branding studio hell-bent on helping brands that seek to entertain, go big, ask "What if?", and create lasting connections that ignite a following.

We are looking for a Senior Designer who can raise the standard and move brands forward.

About the Role

As a Senior Designer at Matchbox, you are more than a maker. You are a thinker, a collaborator, and a leader. You will guide projects from concept through execution, mentor emerging designers, and set the creative tone for the work. The designer is the heart of Matchbox and is diligent in applying both creativity and strategic thought to everything they touch. You will juggle multiple accounts, present directly to clients, and bring a fresh perspective to every assignment.

We are a small studio, which means you will not be lost in layers of process. You will collaborate directly with account managers, creative directors, and clients. This is the kind of work where you can see your impact. You will be challenged, but you will also have fun as part of a tight knit crew that believes in serious work with a not so serious vibe.

What You Will Do

• Lead the concepting, design, and production of creative work across print, digital, and experiential
• Present ideas and solutions to clients with confidence and clarity
• Oversee multiple projects while managing scope, budgets, and timelines
• Mentor and inspire design team members, giving feedback that sharpens their skills
• Build and maintain brand systems that stand up and stand out
• Prepare and oversee production including print specs, paper selection, pre press, and press checks
• Keep us on top of design trends, tools, and new creative ways to make brands pop

What You Bring

• Five or more years of experience in a creative agency or studio environment
• A portfolio that proves you can concept big ideas and deliver sharp, polished design across mediums
• Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite including Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Figma with bonus points for After Effects or motion skills
• Strong organizational and time management skills and the ability to thrive in the juggle
• Leadership and mentoring experience with the ability to raise the bar and bring people with you
• A positive and collaborative spirit with a sense of humor to match

At Matchbox, You Will Get

• A competitive salary and full benefits package
• The chance to lead creative on bold brands in entertainment and beyond
• A collaborative and fun studio culture that balances serious work with a not so serious atmosphere
• Room to grow with a strategy driven team that dares clients and ourselves to be different
• A vacation and perks package that grows with you including major holidays, a holiday break, and Flex Fridays in the summer

Location

We are based in Deep Ellum, Dallas. We welcome local candidates and will also consider strong remote candidates who meet the qualifications.
