Now, we’re looking for an experienced Senior Design Manager to shape how people look at us. Yes, we make RFP software for a B2B audience—but we don’t think that should limit our creativity or force us to be buttoned up. We need someone who can push the boundaries so that our brand stands out in our market—without losing sight of our key buyers and goals.
This role is part of our Brand & Communications team (the creative muscle of the marketing department), but will also work closely with stakeholders across Loopio to bring our brand to life on every channel—from online assets to physical events, social media, paid ads, swag, and more.

You’ll help guide and evolve the visual identity of our brand, and communicate these standards to the entire company so we always look our best. Own video and motion as core brand channels.

to swag and event collateral, to logos, icons, slide decks, and more.

You’re also extremely organized, which helps you keep your priorities (and our design files) in check. ~ You know that getting the best outcomes requires you to guide stakeholders in the right direction (with tact). Your consultation skills are second to none, and you know how to handle feedback to move projects forward productively. ~ Creative and team-oriented mindset.
