Job Description
Adopt is seeking an experienced Senior Designer to deliver best-in-class creative across brand
design, identity systems, experiences, communications, and campaigns that capture the
imagination of consumers and deliver real value for our clients.
This role calls for a highly skilled designer with strong conceptual instincts and a sharp eye for
craft. Creative thinking is paired with the ability to explore multiple design directions, translating
ideas into work that is both distinctive and precise. Clear communication across all forms of
media is essential, along with the ability to build presentations and visual narratives that
articulate intention with clarity and confidence.
This person must have a strong ability to take direction and elevate it, turning strategy and
creative vision into cohesive visual systems, assets, and executions that feel considered across
every touchpoint. They will bring a fresh perspective to each challenge, with a consistent focus
on producing work that is culturally resonant and built with purpose.
They must approach design with intention, using typography, color, texture, space, and scale to
shape compelling communication. Versatility across mediums is expected, with the ability to find
new ways to tell brand stories while working alongside cross-functional teams to move from
abstract ideas to well-formed, well-executed visual narratives. Comfort managing multiple
projects at once is key, maintaining a high level of craft across identity, packaging, digital, print,
photography, and emerging formats.
At Adopt, this role will help define how brands show up at the intersection of sport and culture,
supporting integrated, best-in-class creative thinking for partners across the Adopt and Publicis
