Senior Designer | BR

About the Role

Degreed is looking for a Senior Designer to help bring the next chapter of our brand to life.

This is a hands-on creative role for someone who loves making work that's sharp, thoughtful and useful. You'll work across brand and marketing touchpoints: campaigns, social, events, presentations, sales enablement, web, executive storytelling, product marketing and motion-led content.

You'll be part of a small, high-impact creative team working closely with Brand, Communications, Events, Demand Generation, Product Marketing, Sales and Executive Leadership, translating complex ideas about workforce transformation, skills, learning technology and AI into work that's clear, human and memorable.

This role is for someone with strong design craft, high standards and real curiosity about where creative work is headed. You'll work across multiple tools, formats and channels, with an AI-first mindset. Motion design is a bonus, especially if you can bring static ideas to life through animation, video or simple storytelling sequences.
