Description:
You eat, sleep, breathe—basically live—all things design. Yet you understand that you don’t know everything and you embrace learning and growing. You are decisive, yet flexible. You are knowledgeable, yet teachable. You recognize and are current with popular and emerging trends. You are the expert in design—typefaces, color, print, packaging, photo shoots, digital, social platforms, and anything that design touches. You understand that form is there to support function.
As the Design Lead/Design Director, you will help establish and maintain the visual identity of Nu Skin’s global brand. You will manage and direct a design team that is nimble, creative, adaptable, productive, and professional. Your team will include both new and seasoned graphic and digital designers and photographers. You will be responsible for ensuring that your team members are assigned projects that fit their skill set, while mentoring and guiding them to develop new talents and skills. You have strong art direction skills and the ability to impart those skills to your team. You will guide the design execution of all marketing initiatives and corporate partner requests and will be responsible for the overall quality of work produced by your design team. You will report to the Creative Director (CD) and work closely with the CD, the Marcomm Director, and the VP of Global Brand Strategy to maintain a high standard of quality deliverables. You will ensure that all projects meet corporate and business partner strategies and objectives. This is a senior-staff role that requires responsibility, focus, creativity, understanding of strategic vision, business sense, an aptitude for effective mentoring and the ability to set and meet timelines. You must have management experience and an extensive portfolio of work you’ve executed and work you’ve directed.
