**Position Overview:** This role is built for a talented designer who thrives as part of a team. You'll produce hands\-on visual creative across Summit and our family of brands, working closely with Marketing, Product, and teams throughout the business to bring our brand identity and creative frameworks to life.
You'll collaborate day to day with our broader creative team, including freelance talent, contributing high\-visibility work across every channel we use to reach our audience.
The Senior Designer will report to the SVP of Marketing and support the ongoing evolution of brand identity and creative frameworks across the portfolio, translating campaign and product go\-to\-market strategy into visual creative. This is a player\-coach position in the fullest sense.
The Senior Designer designs and outputs creative personally, with hands\-on responsibility for work across every channel we use to reach our audience, including direct mail, digital advertising, website, email, and more, while also helping brief and coordinate a bench of freelance creative talent.
That means supporting freelancers with Summit's brand standards and giving them the feedback and context to grow, not simply assigning and reviewing tasks, so our freelance capacity gets stronger and more self\-sufficient over time.
**Key Responsibilities:*** Steward visual creative across Summit and its family of house brands (6\). Partner with brand leads to support brand identity and creative frameworks across the portfolio. Help maintain brand consistency across every brand and channel in the portfolio.
- Build real fluency in the audiences behind each brand\- rehab therapists, behavioral health clinicians, pelvic health specialists, fitness professionals, PT students, and more. Translate that understanding into creative that lands with each audience without fragmenting the portfolio.
- Develop creative for campaigns and product launches, from visual direction through launch\-ready assets. Partner with Marketing on channel strategy for go\-to\-markets.
- Build and develop a reliable bench of freelance creative talent, coaching for skill growth and brand fluency, not just assigning and checking off tasks. Keep quality and timelines on track.
- Raise the bar on creative performance. Partner with demand gen to test and iterate creative across email, paid, direct mail, and web, and use what the results show to shape the next round of work.
- Build and contribute to the systems that let creative scale. Help develop templates, component libraries, and asset standards so teams across the business can produce on\-brand work without a designer in the loop for every request.
- Design the process for how creative work gets requested, prioritized, and delivered. Help maintain intake and review processes that give stakeholders clarity on what's needed, delivery times and expectations.
**Key Skills \& Experience:*** Strong portfolio demonstrating both brand/creative thinking and hands\-on design execution.
- Expert in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma. Motion and video editing experience a plus.
- Experience supporting, coaching, or coordinating freelance or outsourced creative talent, helping build a reliable bench over time, not just assigning and reviewing tasks.

- Experience working across a portfolio of brands with distinct audiences.
- Experience working within both internal/in\-house creative teams and external agencies.
- Experience collaborating with freelance or agency creative talent.
