Team Lead, Design

Level Access is seeking a Team Lead, Design to own design creative direction and day-to-day design operations. In this role, you will set the visual direction, manage the workload of a small international design team, and drive design excellence across print and digital projects. You will actively incorporate AI-forward methodologies to enable scalable, efficient design workflows. This position requires strong leadership, collaboration, and a passion for maintaining consistency in our brand identity.

Key Responsibilities

• Establish and own creative direction from a design perspective — visual identity, design systems, and consistency across campaigns
• Project manage and assign design tasks across the team, balancing priorities and deadlines
• Collaborate with other designers on both print and digital design projects
• Build and maintain design systems and reusable components (Figma libraries, templates, style guides)
• Serve as a player-coach for a small design team — leading, mentoring, and coaching team members while remaining hands-on in day-to-day design work

Qualifications

Required:

• Demonstrated experience in creative direction or design leadership
• Strong project management skills — able to assign, track, and prioritize design work across a team
• Proficiency in Figma, including design systems and component libraries
• Experience working across both print and digital design
• Skilled at integrating AI tools into the design process
• Ability to work effectively across time zones; Eastern time zone availability preferred.

Preferred:

• Highly organized — able to manage multiple concurrent projects without dropping threads
• Creative, with a strong point of view on visual direction
• Comfortable working within — and evolving — established design systems rather than starting from scratch each time
• Strong collaborator, especially across time zones and with non-designers
