Samba is looking for a Senior Designer who works at the intersection of design craft and AI. You'll use Claude Code and Claude Design as fluently as Figma, not as a novelty, but as a core workflow for ideation, production, and creative output.
You'll translate complex data and technology concepts into clear, compelling visual stories, and shape how Samba shows up across every touchpoint: brand, web, campaigns, social, presentations, and events. You'll do it as part of an agile, fast-moving creative team where your work has real visibility and real impact, and you won't be buried in a queue of templated requests.
Design high-impact creative across brand, web, campaign, social, presentation, event, and demand-gen formats.
Use Claude Code and Claude Design daily to accelerate ideation, prototyping, and production. You should already be doing this, not learning it on the job.
Build and evolve design systems in Figma that scale across a growing brand.
Design and animate motion content, with a focus on AI-assisted animation tools and workflows (Runway, Midjourney video, Higgsfield, or similar) alongside traditional motion craft.
Turn complex data into clear, engaging visual narratives through compelling data visualization.
Design polished presentations and sales materials with strong attention to detail and narrative structure.
Contribute to the Samba website and campaign builds, working within Framer and modern web/design tooling.
Use Google Suite (Slides, Docs, Sheets) fluently for day-to-day collaboration, drafts, and stakeholder-facing work.
Manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Sales, Product, and Leadership.
Stay current with design trends, emerging AI tools, and workflow innovations that can improve the team's output.
7+ years of professional design experience, with a portfolio that demonstrates strong conceptual thinking, visual storytelling, and creative problem-solving across brand, web, and campaign work.
AI-forward by default, genuinely comfortable and fluent using Claude Code and Claude Design as part of your actual design workflow, not just aware of them.
Expert-level skills in Figma, plus solid working fluency in Google Suite.
Animation experience, with real exposure to AI-driven animation and video-generation tools. You know how to direct and refine output, not just prompt and hope.
Strong data visualization design ability.
Experience developing brand and marketing creative across digital, social, video, and experiential formats.
Excellent communication skills. You can present your work, integrate feedback from multiple stakeholders, and explain your thinking clearly.
Self-directed and well-organized. You manage your own time and keep projects moving without close oversight.
A sharp eye for detail and a high bar for craft.
Experience with Framer.
Deeper motion/animation background (After Effects, Lottie, CSS/JS animation).
Experience designing for social-first formats.
Degree in design, fine arts, or a related field.
