Darkroom is a strategic marketing agency with unique access to specialized talent across the globe. Our main function is to provide growth strategy, dedicated team staffing, and profitability consulting to enhance the value of our clients. A category leader in results-driven growth marketing, Darkroom’s success is attributed to our unique partnership model, rooted in small, nimble, and dedicated teams – powered by our proprietary MarketingOS.
Taking the startup mindset to the agency space, the collective expertise of our team of entrepreneurs and senior digital marketers are deeply aware of the newest trends in digital marketing. Our learned experience has allowed us to take clients (and internal ventures) from $0 to millions in revenue in just a few months. We work with game-changing brands: Crate & Barrel, Popchips, FEED, Olipop, & CALPAK, to name a few.
The Associate Director of Creative is a player/coach designer who will ensure that UI/UX Design, Brand Design, and Marketing Design engagements are delivered on time and to a high bar of visual quality. In this role, you’ll report to the Director of Creative. You’ll use your strong design background to be an advocate for our design processes and philosophy and supervise a cohort of Designers by providing feedback on their work to develop their skillsets across paid ads, emails, landing pages, and e-commerce web design. Your main focus will be people management, with the flexibility to engage in 1-2 hands-on UI/UX design projects as required.
We’re looking for a candidate with deep experience in both UI/UX design and brand design, to apply this experience to management and development of junior designers.

- Ensure high-quality work output from direct reports, focusing on visual craft, UX expertise, and meeting deadlines.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including marketers, strategists, developers, and clients, to develop project plans, understand business objectives, and address client issues.
- Refine internal processes for client work in coordination with the Director of Creative. Provide training and feedback to enhance the skills of the design team.
- Lead 1-2 UI/UX engagements as needed, focusing on creating branded e-commerce websites.
- Emphasize branded UI, conversion-focused UX, and clarity in design approaches.
- Present design work to clients, explaining design choices based on effective reasoning and UX principles.
- Manage design projects independently from discovery to hand-off, adhering to timelines and collaborating with developers to ensure feasibility.
- Develop component systems and maintain design guidelines for consistency.
- 3-6+ years of senior-level design experience, with at least 1 year of people management experience preferred. Must have experience in responsive web design.
- Digital portfolio showcasing web design and branding skills, including color theory, hierarchy, composition, and typography.
- Self-motivated, proactive, and detail-oriented with a strong sense of ownership.
- Experience collaborating with developers and documenting designs for development hand-off.
- Comfortable with client-facing responsibilities in English, including leading discovery calls and resolving client feedback.
- Capable of providing constructive internal feedback and guiding direct reports to improve their work.
- Ability to tackle ambiguous problems, understand business challenges, design solutions, and execute them effectively.
- Proficiency in Figma, including features like Auto Layout, Components, and Variants, is essential.
- Experience with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) is required.
- Bonus: Experience in e-commerce or hospitality website design, familiarity with HTML/CSS or frameworks like Tailwind.
