What This Role Is

Manifest Globals brands are seen before they are read. Before a school leader reads a word of a Cialfo campaign email, before a university admissions officer opens an Explore proposal, before a student in Mumbai or Dubai decides whether to trust the platform theyve just discovered, they see something. A social ad. A conference banner. An event deck. An email layout. The visual quality of that first impression shapes what happens next.

Across four brands and multiple geographies, Manifest produces design work at significant volume: digital advertising, social content, email campaigns, event materials, print collateral, interactive experiences, and corporate communications. The audiences range from high school students and counsellors to school leaders, university partners, and education agents. Each brand has its own identity. Each audience has its own visual language. And the standard across all of it needs to be consistently high.

Right now, the central design function needs someone who can own that standard. Not as a production resource, but as the primary creative force behind Manifests visual output: someone with the craft, the brand judgment, and the creative confidence to produce publication-ready work independently, raise the quality of everything the team outputs, and act as the brand guardian for the marketing function across all four businesses.

As Senior Graphic Designer, youll be a hands-on individual contributor with real ownership of the visual expression of Manifests brands across every major marketing touchpoint. Youll work closely with marketing, content, and product teams, translate briefs into finished creative independently, and set the creative bar the rest of the team works toward.

What You Own

Visual output across all marketing touchpoints

- Lead the design and production of high-quality creative work across digital marketing campaigns, event experiences, interactive activations, and corporate collateral, from concept through to final production
- Create and format visual elements across social, email, print, and out-of-home, with sharp judgment on typography, layout, imagery, iconography, and brand consistency across each brands distinct identity
- Produce short-form motion graphics and video assets to support campaign storytelling across digital platforms, working natively in After Effects and Premiere Pro

Brand guardianship across the Manifest group

- Own the visual expression of Manifests brands across all internal and external-facing design work, maintaining the brand systems that keep each brand distinct and consistent simultaneously




- Act as the brand guardian for the marketing function: the person who catches inconsistencies before they go out, who pushes back when a brief would take a brand in the wrong direction, and who builds the templates and standards that make quality scalable
- Build and maintain Canva Pro templates that allow non-designers on the team to produce on-brand work without needing a designer for every asset

Creative development and cross-functional collaboration

- Translate campaign briefs into creative concepts independently, with the confidence to make the right call without needing extensive direction
- Collaborate with marketing, content, and product teams to ensure creative quality and cohesion across all touchpoints, including how brand translates into product UI
- Incorporate and synthesise feedback from multiple stakeholders into polished final deliverables, maintaining creative integrity and timeline discipline simultaneously
- Mentor and provide creative direction to junior designers or agency partners where required, setting the standard and helping others reach it

What Success Looks Like

The markers below reflect where the design function is today. Well calibrate the specifics once youre in the seat. These are directional, not fixed.

Youll start by building a clear picture of the current visual output across all four brands, whats robust, where the inconsistencies are, which brand systems need tightening, and where the highest-impact improvements are. Youll have a view on where to raise the standard first.

From there, the quality and consistency of Manifests visual output will be visibly better. Campaigns will look like they were designed with intention for the platform and audience theyre reaching. The brand systems will be cleaner and easier for the team to work within. The templates and standards you build will make the whole team faster without reducing quality.

Over time, Manifests visual identity across all four brands will be something that makes the right impression consistently, whether a candidate encounters the brand on LinkedIn, at a conference, or in a product walkthrough. Thats what this role is building toward.

The specifics will be calibrated once youre in the role. The direction wont change.
