SENIOR DESIGNER
Posted 5/12/09

All of the best agencies have one: the go-to designer. The best work seems to revolve around them, and their personalities have a kind of gravitational pull on clients and coworkers. Equally comfortable in print or new media, they can do it all - plan projects, work directly with clients, lead teams and design anything from an identity to a website. They turn marketing strategy into killer concepts. And, of course, their names are on most of the awards.

These people are the best of team players. They don't have oversized egos, but they know they're good. And the agency knows it too, so they're treated well. Yet, they eventually move on.

That's where we come in: Levine and Associates is a leading Washington, DC design and advertising studio that gives top talent everything that they want most in their work life. That's why our people have turned their positions into careers, staying at L&A for an average of a decade and counting. Great people doing great work on great accounts! Real pros who are highly respected by their colleagues and clients - and who are generously rewarded for the success that they create. It's all wrapped up in a refreshingly sane environment that combines responsibility with freedom.

To select candidates for this position, we'll make the first cut on pure award-winning talent, and then on quality of experience. But in the end, we'll spend some time really getting to know those few top contenders - looking for that personality that inspires clients and coworkers.

Look us over at www.levinedc.com. If our work (part print, part web multimedia) needs your work, than what we need to see from you is a truly superb portfolio of both print and interactive work, plus at least six years of solid agency experience on your resume.
