What You’ll Do

As a Senior Designer at Sunco, you will work on a wide range of design projects, from marketplace assets to advertising campaigns to product renderings.

• Provide creative direction and design leadership within the team, offering feedback and mentoring to junior designers and team members.
• Ensure that design work is delivered on time and meets the highest quality standards.
• Stay up to date with current design trends, tools, and techniques to continually bring fresh ideas to the table.
• Other tasks as assigned.

• Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Industrial Design, 3D Animation, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in a design role, with a portfolio demonstrating expertise in graphic design and 3D rendering.
• Proficiency in design software such as Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects) and 3D modeling/rendering tools like Blender, Cinema 4D, or similar. (expertise in Keyshot required)
• Solid experience in producing 3D renderings, including product visualization, environmental design, and realistic texturing.
• Strong understanding of design principles, typography, color theory, and composition.
• Motion graphics experience is a plus, especially for short animations and digital assets, though not a primary requirement.
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team, managing multiple projects with varying timelines.
• Exceptional attention to detail and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in UX/UI design and working with design systems is a plus.
