What the job really is

The Director of Brand & Product Design at Human Agency will lead the creation of brand identities and design systems for various clients, focusing on both aesthetics and functionality. This role involves collaborating closely with clients and cross-functional teams to ensure designs are implementable and meet client needs, while also leveraging AI tools to enhance design workflows.

Things to weigh
