Established in 2004, OLIVER is the world’s first and only specialist in designing, building, and running bespoke in-house agencies and marketing ecosystems for brands. We partner with over 300 clients in 40+ countries and counting. Our unique model drives creativity and efficiency, allowing us to deliver tailored solutions that resonate deeply with audiences.

Role:  Designer

Location: Chicago, Illinois - 4 days in office per week

About the role: 

As Designer, you'll work with one of OLIVER's client, collaborating with a Creative Director and a wider creative team to produce high-quality work across multiple brands and channels. You'll take creative from concept through to polished, production-ready execution — independently managing your workload and delivering with consistent craft and clear creative thinking.

This is a role for someone confident interpreting briefs autonomously, proposing considered solutions, and iterating efficiently on feedback. Whether you're building out a social campaign, developing a brand toolkit, or exploring new visual directions, you'll bring curiosity, rigour, and platform fluency to every piece of work.

What you will be doing: 

Concept and produce design across social, digital, email, OOH, in-store, and campaign toolkit formats for client's brand portfolio

Develop platform-relevant assets that are audience-aware, visually strong, and optimised for their intended channels and formats

Interpret briefs independently — asking the right questions, proposing considered solutions, and presenting work clearly to the Creative Director

Apply and flex brand guidelines accurately across multiple brand identities and tones of voice within the client portfolio

Collaborate with copywriters, strategists, producers, and fellow creatives to deliver integrated, cohesive work

Iterate efficiently on feedback from the Creative Director and client stakeholders, maintaining quality through multiple rounds of revision

Use Gen AI tools to support ideation, accelerate production, and explore creative possibilities — with strong human judgement applied throughout

Stay current with design trends, platform formats, and cultural moments relevant to the beverage, lifestyle, and entertainment space

Contribute actively to studio life — sharing ideas, supporting peers, and bringing a solutions-focused presence to the team

What you need to be great in this role: 

A strong portfolio demonstrating design craft across digital and social formats — showing range, visual intelligence, and attention to detail

Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects) and Figma

Confidence working independently across multiple concurrent projects in a fast-moving studio environment

Sound understanding of social platforms, digital channels, and content formats — knowing what works and why

Ability to work within brand systems and adapt them thoughtfully across diverse briefs and formats

A collaborative, solutions-focused approach — comfortable receiving and responding to feedback constructively

Experience in the alcohol, beverage, or lifestyle sector is a plus, though not a requirement

Gen AI & Agentic Thinking

Proficiency with Gen AI tools relevant to design — including image generation, ideation support, and workflow tools — to enhance output quality and efficiency

Experience building personal AI-assisted workflows to improve efficiency and creative quality

Agentic approach to problem-solving — able to break down briefs and identify clear, efficient creative paths forward

Ability to critically evaluate AI outputs and apply strong human creative judgement
