Group O is looking for a creative, strategic, and culture-obsessed Sr. Designer to support our client’s Brand Social & Partnerships team. This role is for a creative powerhouse who doesn’t wait for a brief but actively brings ideas to the table—then executes flawlessly across video, photo and static content. You are familiar with both the entertainment and sports worlds.

For Brand Social, you’ll need to be equal parts creator and strategist—someone who understands social trends (and a brand’s role in them), internet culture, and platform behaviors and knows how to turn that inspiration into scroll-stopping, design-driven content for a brand.

On the Partnerships side, you’ll collaborate closely with internal teams and external partners to develop on-brand creative that aligns with business objectives. You should have a strong design sensibility, a portfolio showcasing work that blends creativity with performance-driven impact, and the ability to adapt brand aesthetics to different partnership opportunities.

This is a highly collaborative, fast-paced role that requires proactive creativity, strong design chops, and the ability to balance quick-turn content with high-production brand executions—all while maintaining strategic intent.
