We're looking for a Senior Designer, to help define and grow our approach to visual systems, art direction, and conceptual design. This role is built on solid graphic design foundations — typography, layout, composition, and visual storytelling — with creative technology built into the practice from the ground up. Creative code, AI, generative tools, and motion are treated as core creative mediums, not add-ons.
The ideal candidate combines exceptional design craft with strong art direction instincts and genuine curiosity about how technology can expand creative possibility. They have a highly refined eye for visual design, a deep understanding of typography, and a proven history of building design systems that hold up at global scale.
Just as importantly, they're comfortable working hands-on with design, creative code, AI, and modern design tools as part of how they think and create.
They will work closely with Art Directors, the Creative Director, Creative Producers, cross- functional partners and external agencies to build and scale these systems, explore new ideas, and push the possibilities of design.
5–7 years of relevant graphic design experience, ideally within a creative, cultural, digital, or technology-focused environment. A portfolio demonstrating strong graphic design fundamentals, art direction, and design systems work. Strong command of visual communication and graphic design principles, with exceptional attention to craft and detail.
Deep understanding and appreciation of typography, photography, motion, illustration, and visual storytelling. Hands-on experience with creative technology — AI, generative tools, or creative coding — as part of the creative process, not just an interest in it. Demonstrated mastery of Adobe Creative Suite and familiarity with a broad range of design and motion tools.
Bilingual skills in both Japanese and English (minimum business level of reading, writing, and spoken in either language)
Experience developing and scaling graphic design systems across multiple languages, markets, and cultural contexts. Art direction experience on campaigns, editorial, or brand initiatives. Comfortable working through an iterative creative process, embracing experimentation, feedback, and refinement.
Ability to work effectively with global teams across time zones, markets, and different working practices. A genuine passion for music, culture, and contemporary visual communication.
