Monks is seeking a seasoned Senior Designer to join an embedded creative team producing rapid-turn editorial, digital, and marketing content. Operating on-site alongside senior client stakeholders, this role is built for a design-first craftsperson with high autonomy, executive presence, and an end-to-end maker mindset.
Your foundation is elite visual and digital design: typography, layout, systems, and storytelling. From that base, you lean naturally into multidisciplinary execution - comfortable integrating simple motion graphics, basic video editing, and AI-assisted production workflows to push an asset across the finish line rather than handing off intermediate steps. You bring the creative maturity to hold the room with stakeholders, make decisive creative calls under tight deadlines, and navigate changing requirements while upholding an uncompromising standard of craft within established brand systems.
Employment Type, Duration & Work Location
This is a temporary, full-time position expected to run through March 31, 2027.
This role requires working onsite at our client's office in Menlo Park, CA, 4–5 days per week.
This is an in-person, client-facing role embedded directly with the client team in Menlo Park, CA. You will work alongside on-site partners while coordinating with distributed creative teams across locations and time zones, maintaining core client working hours and flexibility around urgent project milestones.
At Monks, we believe in fostering an environment where a diversity of perspectives can thrive. We proactively work to design hiring processes that promote equity and inclusion while mitigating bias. We celebrate diversity and are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome and encourage qualified applicants, from all backgrounds, who are excited to contribute to our mission.
Monks is committed to ensuring equal access and participation for people with disabilities. We are committed to treating people with disabilities in a way that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence.
