We're hiring a Senior Creative Designer (Karachi - Onsite)
We need a strong mid-level professional for this role who can work independently with minimal supervision and demonstrate strong ownership.
About Client
Forbes Featured E-commerce Startup and Pakistan's Largest Ticketing Platform with 100+ Employees is hiring a Creative Designer for it's Karachi Office.
About the Role
We are a leading Online Travel Agency (OTA) and technology company, building a digital travel platform that thousands of customers trust. We are seeking a Senior Creative Designer to join our Content Marketing team — someone who is brilliant, self-driven, and capable of owning the creative vision end-to-end.
This is not an execution-only role. We want a mid-senior designer who brings strategic creative thinking, deep platform fluency, and the independence to drive projects from concept to delivery with minimal hand-holding. You will work at the intersection of travel, technology, and storytelling — shaping how our brand is experienced across every digital touchpoint.
If you are someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, obsesses over design quality, understands how visual content drives business outcomes, and is excited about the future of AI-powered creativity — this role is for you.

- Create, direct, and edit video content, animations, and motion graphics optimized for modern platforms (Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, digital ads)
- Own brand consistency across all outputs — uphold visual hierarchy, color standards, typography, and tone across every format and channel
- Translate business and marketing objectives into compelling visual narratives — not just execute briefs, but elevate them
- Experiment proactively with new content formats, visual styles, and emerging trends to keep our brand communication fresh and culturally relevant
- Design travel-specific creatives that resonate — seasonal campaigns, destination highlights, promotional offers, and platform-native content
Campaign & Brand Strategy Support

- Develop platform-native content strategies tailored to evolving digital behaviors across our key audience segments
- Support product marketing by designing creatives that clearly communicate our offerings and drive user action
Project Leadership & Process Ownership
- Independently manage multiple creative projects simultaneously — owning timelines, quality gates, and final delivery without constant supervision
- Drive briefing sessions: ask the right questions, surface ambiguities early, and align on deliverables before production begins
- Champion a structured creative process: brief concept review cycles final delivery — and hold yourself and the team to it
- Proactively identify creative gaps or risks and propose solutions before they become blockers
Collaboration & Communication
- Work as a core creative partner with the content and marketing teams, and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders as needed
- Share work proactively, present creative rationale clearly, and incorporate feedback constructively
- Maintain thorough documentation of briefs, creative iterations, and feedback — keeping projects organized and traceable
- Communicate progress, blockers, and decisions in a timely and structured manner
AI, Innovation & Continuous Growth
- Actively leverage AI-powered tools (generative design, AI video editing, prompt-based content tools) to enhance creative output and efficiency
- Use AI responsibly — accelerating workflows without compromising originality, brand standards, or quality
- Stay ahead of design trends, emerging tools, and platform changes — bringing relevant insights back to the team
- Contribute to a strong creative culture and support the growth of junior team members where applicable
Required Skills & Competencies

- Understanding of performance marketing creatives and how design decisions affect engagement and conversion

Soft Skills & Work Approach
- Strong ownership mindset — takes a brief from concept to delivery independently and accountably
- Strategic creative thinker — brings ideas and a creative point-of-view, not just execution
- Excellent time management — consistently meets deadlines across multiple concurrent projects
- Proactive communicator — surfaces issues early and shares updates without being prompted
- Collaborative but independent — works well with teams while driving their own work without micromanagement
- Resilient and growth-oriented — embraces feedback, iterates quickly, and keeps improving
AI & Emerging Tools
