Visual Design Manager
Visual design is what Squarespace is known for. We go to great lengths to ensure every touchpoint of the product and brand is as beautiful and impactful as possible.
As a modern creative organization, we hire aesthetically-driven designers who have a strong process that can be applied across a range of deliverables. Our Visual Design Managers (aka Associate Creative Directors) set the vision for projects, enforce our high standards, and manage teams of designers and writers to make sure we’re meeting them. They straddle the line between player and coach, directing multidisciplinary creative talent and also getting hands-on when necessary. They’re comfortable presenting work to stakeholders and delivering feedback to teams.
Successful candidates should have a portfolio that demonstrates a familiarity with most of the following: brand identity, marketing campaigns, social assets and web projects. Previous management experience is preferred, although we will also consider strong candidates who are ready to make the leap.
