We're building the future of advertising and are looking for the minds to help us do it.

Darkroom is a progressive omnichannel growth marketing agency focused on retail, e-commerce, and consumer businesses. We have been recognized as one of the fastest growing private companies in America by Inc. 5000 (2023), a top 1% digital advertiser by Varos (2023), and our founders were named Forbes 30 Under 30 recipients for Marketing and Advertising North America (2024).

The Associate Director of Creative is a player/coach designer who will ensure that UI/UX Design, Brand Design, and Marketing Design engagements are delivered on-time and to a high bar of visual quality.

In this role, you'll report to the Director of Creative. You'll use your strong design background to be an advocate for our design processes and philosophy, and supervise a cohort of Designers by providing feedback on their work to develop their skillsets across paid ads, emails, landing pages, and e-commerce web design. Your main focus will be people management, with the flexibility to engage in 1-2 hands-on UI/UX design projects as required.

We're looking for a candidate with deep experience in both UI/UX design and brand design, to apply this experience to management and development of junior designers. A strong candidate has a best-in-class visual eye, clear attention-to-detail, and direct experience with managing designers.

This is a fully remote role operating in the EST Time Zone and all business is conducted 100% in English. Please note: we are not actively interviewing for this role at the moment, but are keeping the job post open to collect talented applicants for the next available role. Thanks

  • Self-motivated, proactive, and detail-oriented with a strong sense of ownership.
  • Experience collaborating with developers and documenting designs for development hand-off.
  • Comfortable with client-facing responsibilities in English, including leading discovery calls and resolving client feedback.
  • Capable of providing constructive internal feedback and guiding direct reports to improve their work.
  • Ability to tackle ambiguous problems, understand business challenges, design solutions, and execute them effectively.
  • Proficiency in Figma, including features like Auto Layout, Components, and Variants, is essential.
  • Experience with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) is required.
