NJI is a wildly creative and strategically disciplined agency with offices in London, Washington, D.C., and Singapore. We consider ourselves a community of tastemakers and fire starters who always strive to challenge the status quo. 

We seek a driven senior designer to join our US office. This year is an inflection point in NJI’s history: we’re celebrating 15 years in business, and have the ambition to match. This role will be pivotal in establishing the NJI identity, and supporting our global portfolio of clients. 

The right candidate possesses a refined taste, a penchant for the daring, and the curiosity of a thousand chameleons. Versed in cross-platform execution, with chops in branding and digital products, this is a high-energy role that will join an international community of creatives. 

The creative team at NJI handles the nuanced, complex world of big policy, big tech, and nonprofits. We believe creativity can transform perceptions, foster conversation, and shape policies that change the world. We are not a product shop, but a change shop. In this next chapter of our growth, we hope to better tell our story and break our own status quo. 

Work Hard Where You Are.

Part of our secret sauce is knowing that good talent can live anywhere. We actively encourage individuals to apply from across the country. NJI has U.S. team members located coast to coast as part of our HQ team based in Washington, D.C. From farmers to urban foragers, trapeze artists to Mario Kart fanatics, we have colleagues with diverse interests and addresses. This position is remote-eligible, with preference in the EST timezone, collaborating closely with the US headquarters and reporting to the Global Vice President of Creative in Washington D.C. 

The Job.

• Execute projects with complex and ambiguous problems across a range of platforms. Versatility is the name of the game: you may be designing in the metaverse today, working across a suite of reports tomorrow, and brought in to brand a cannabis website next week. 
• Work closely and cross-departmentally with other designers, leadership, development and video through phases of projects. 
• Mentor junior members of the team though best-in-class design practices and techniques. 
• Challenge the status quo with new ideas, tactics, and concepts.

• Provide counsel to clients and peers over best practices, with an ability to create presentations that support work and storytell. 
• Collaborate with project managers, copywriters, editors, developers, videographers and other designers.
• Become a fluent advocate for NJI brand and help us evolve it.
• Create fully realized creative concepts and assets that are on brand, strategically focused, and posed for success
