Designer
Role: Designer
Location: Chicago, Illinois - 4 days in office per week
About the role:
As Designer, you'll work with one of OLIVER's client, collaborating with a Creative Director and a wider creative team to produce high-quality work across multiple brands and channels. You'll take creative from concept through to polished, production-ready execution — independently managing your workload and delivering with consistent craft and clear creative thinking.
This is a role for someone confident interpreting briefs autonomously, proposing considered solutions, and iterating efficiently on feedback. Whether you're building out a social campaign, developing a brand toolkit, or exploring new visual directions, you'll bring curiosity, rigour, and platform fluency to every piece of work.
What you will be doing:
Concept and produce design across social, digital, email, OOH, in-store, and campaign toolkit formats for client's brand portfolio
Develop platform-relevant assets that are audience-aware, visually strong, and optimised for their intended channels and formats
Interpret briefs independently — asking the right questions, proposing considered solutions, and presenting work clearly to the Creative Director
Apply and flex brand guidelines accurately across multiple brand identities and tones of voice within the client portfolio
Collaborate with copywriters, strategists, producers, and fellow creatives to deliver integrated, cohesive work
Iterate efficiently on feedback from the Creative Director and client stakeholders, maintaining quality through multiple rounds of revision
Use Gen AI tools to support ideation, accelerate production, and explore creative possibilities — with strong human judgement applied throughout
Stay current with design trends, platform formats, and cultural moments relevant to the beverage, lifestyle, and entertainment space
Contribute actively to studio life — sharing ideas, supporting peers, and bringing a solutions-focused presence to the team
What you need to be great in this role:
A strong portfolio demonstrating design craft across digital and social formats — showing range, visual intelligence, and attention to detail
Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects) and Figma
Confidence working independently across multiple concurrent projects in a fast-moving studio environment
Sound understanding of social platforms, digital channels, and content formats — knowing what works and why
Ability to work within brand systems and adapt them thoughtfully across diverse briefs and formats
A collaborative, solutions-focused approach — comfortable receiving and responding to feedback constructively
Experience in the alcohol, beverage, or lifestyle sector is a plus, though not a requirement
Gen AI & Agentic Thinking
Proficiency with Gen AI tools relevant to design — including image generation, ideation support, and workflow tools — to enhance output quality and efficiency
Experience building personal AI-assisted workflows to improve efficiency and creative quality
Agentic approach to problem-solving — able to break down briefs and identify clear, efficient creative paths forward
Ability to critically evaluate AI outputs and apply strong human creative judgement
