Senior Designer
About the Role
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.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
-
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.
WHO YOU ARE
-
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.
