Job Description

We’re hiring a Senior Illustrator a visual thinker, a detail-obsessed artist, and a conceptual storyteller. If your illustrations speak louder than words and your line work brings brands to life, this is your stage.

As a Senior Illustrator, you’ll be responsible for translating creative briefs into powerful visuals that inspire, inform, and move people. From hand-drawn sketches to fully digital compositions, you’ll take the lead in building artwork that defines campaigns, identities, and stories across platforms.

You’re not just here to draw — you’re here to create meaning, build emotion, and lead with vision. This is a role for someone who sees illustration as a language and knows how to use it to say something that matters.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the creation of original illustrations for brand campaigns, editorial content, digital products, and social media assets.
  • Develop storyboards that clearly visualize scene sequences and support creative teams in understanding narrative flow and visual direction.
  • Translate abstract ideas and creative briefs into compelling visual concepts.
  • Collaborate with creative directors, copywriters, animators, and designers to ensure visual consistency across all deliverables.
  • Build a strong visual identity across various illustration styles—from clean line work to richly textured compositions.
  • Own the full illustration process: from sketching and concept development to final digital artwork.
  • Maintain consistency in tone, style, and brand voice throughout all illustration outputs.
  • Mentor junior illustrators and help raise the overall creative standard of the team.
  • Stay current with emerging trends in illustration, visual storytelling, and creative technology—and bring that influence into your work.

Job Requirements

  • Over 6 years of proven experience as a professional illustrator within creative agencies, editorial teams, or design studios.
  • A robust portfolio showcasing a range of illustration styles and use cases — editorial, commercial, branding, and digital.
  • Expert-level proficiency in illustration tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Procreate, or equivalent software.
  • Strong understanding of composition, lighting, color theory, and visual hierarchy.
  • Advanced drawing skills with a sharp eye for nuance — both hand-drawn and digital.
  • Technical experience in building storyboards that communicate motion, emotion, and sequence effectively.
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, collaborative, creative environments.
  • Ability to take feedback constructively, iterate quickly, and uphold artistic integrity.
  • Strong ownership of projects — from the first sketch to final delivery — with respect for deadlines and quality expectations.
