Senior Designer – Branding & Digital

Job Description

Olter is a creative studio built on a belief:

Every brand, like every human, has a winning alter ego.
An energy. A voice. A presence that, when channeled right, can shift markets, culture, and communities.

—————

Olter is a creative studio that believes every brand, like every human, has a winning alter ego — a bold, unapologetic version of themselves that can shift culture, spark emotion, and make people move.

We work with brands across industries — from luxury and lifestyle to tech and transformation — but we have a soft heart for the ones doing good in the world. Brands that want to be more than just profitable. Brands that want to be unforgettable.

We help them uncover their most powerful selves — and then we give that self a face, a voice, and a digital presence that’s impossible to ignore.

Who We’re Looking For

This is not your standard senior design role. We’re not here for template thinkers or safe players. We’re looking for a visual disruptor, a systems thinker, a storyteller — someone who’s fluent in branding and web, and has a distinct point of view.

You’ve worked at high-calibre studios. You’ve built brands that live in people’s heads. You know how to lead, explore, present, and provoke — all while keeping the work sharp and the process grounded.

You Might Be Our Alter Ego If…
• You think brand identities should speak — not just look nice.
• Your work has soul, structure, and surprise.
• You’ve led full-scale branding and web design projects — not just contributed to them.
• You’ve worked with top-tier studios or standout brands, and it shows.
• You’re hungry for purpose, but not allergic to commerce.
• You know how to push the boundaries while still respecting the brand.
• You can articulate why things work (or don’t) — to teammates and clients alike.

💭 Why This Role Exists

We’ve worked with some incredibly kind, diligent designers in the past. But we’ve also hit creative walls — and we’re done pretending that’s fine.

Here’s what hasn’t worked for us:
• Designers boxed in by safe, corporate formats, unable to break visual tropes.
• A lack of innovation and taste — relying on templates, not instinct.
• Weak attention to detail — visual systems that fall apart beyond the first slide.
• Limited technical proficiency — not knowing how to properly use Figma, Photoshop, or even basic file prep.
• A mindset shaped by low-risk brands, where creativity was neither required nor rewarded.

We respect that journey — but at Olter, we’re building something different.

We need someone who’s ready to break that loop — to lead with creative intelligence, experiment with edge, and craft work that moves beyond trend and into identity.

If you’re the kind of designer who’s been quietly screaming inside to make bolder, more meaningful work — you’ll find freedom here.

What You Bring
• 5–8 years of solid experience in graphic design, with a strong portfolio in branding and web.
• Past work with reputable studios, agencies, or standout in-house teams.
• Mastery of Adobe CC, Figma, and all the usual suspects — but your real tool is your thinking.
• A visual language that feels uniquely yours — not copy-paste clean.
• An interest in shaping culture through design — even in the commercial space.

What You’ll Get
• A space to create work you’re proud of — for brands that are evolving, not coasting.
• Projects that flex across industries, audiences, and mediums.
• A team that values voice, vulnerability, and vision.
• Creative autonomy and honest collaboration.
• Competitive pay, flexible hours, and the chance to co-build the studio’s next era.
