Job description

At Interactive Strategies, we don’t just build brands, websites, and marketing campaigns—we help tell the stories that matter. Our work supports organizations tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges, from climate action to public health. We’re looking for a Digital Art Director / Lead Web Designer to craft experiences that create emotional connections and inspire action.

In this role, you’ll be hands-on in shaping how these causes engage their audiences. Everything we do is rooted in deep strategic thinking informed by discovery and research, and you’ll play a key part in gathering insights and translating them into meaningful creative solutions. You’ll help clients refresh or reimagine their brands and deliver highly conceptual, strategically grounded designs and UX deliverables.

You’ll also be a leader on a seasoned team, mentoring, inspiring, and collaborating with others as you contribute to some of our most high-profile and challenging engagements. Your talent, experience, and work ethic will help elevate the work we do every day.

QUALITIES YOU BRING TO THE TABLE

  • Creative. You come with imagination and fresh ideas; you create works of art that inspire and engage.
  • Strategic. You deliver more than just great design; you craft elegant user experiences that meet our clients’ important goals.
  • Innovative. You push boundaries and implement innovative techniques.
  • Well-spoken. You can eloquently present your designs to clients and stand behind your ideas.
  • Committed. You’re committed to valuing diversity and contributing to an inclusive working and learning environment.
  • Passionate. You love what you do and are looking to work on a team with that same passion.
  • Curious. You’re constantly seeking out new techniques and approaches to advance your skills.
  • Friendly. You’re a people person who enjoys collaborating and works well with others.

Requirements

  • You have been in UX and web design for 10+ years and can hit the ground running

  • You are collaborative and have demonstrated experience working with writers and strategists to develop holistic creative solutions
  • You have experience managing and mentoring more junior designers
  • You are multi-dimensional. In addition to your design skills, we’d love for you to be great at something else... illustration, typography, motion design, front-end coding. Show us your stuff!
  • Benefits

    We have a simple motto when it comes to company culture, "Everyone deserves to come to work and be happy." This means a few things : (1) we care as much about quality as we do about budgets, (2) we find the strengths in each employee and nurture them, (3) we encourage a culture that values innovation and creative freedom, and (4) we want you to have fun while you’re at the office. We may be an agency, but we understand that you have a life outside of work.

    We allow our employees creative freedom. We treat them with respect. We value their opinions. In that spirit, we offer the following benefits :

  • Company-sponsored health, vision and dental insurance
  • Pre-tax Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
  • Profit sharing
