About the Role
About the Role
As a Senior Graphic Designer at LINKVIVA, you will play a key role in shaping and delivering the visual language of one of our flagship wellness and festival properties.
Working within an established brand toolkit and alongside our wider creative, strategy and content teams, you will translate the brand across a broad ecosystem of physical and digital touchpoints — from key visuals and campaign assets to social content, invitations, presentations, speaker materials and on-ground communications.
This is a highly hands-on role for a designer with exceptional visual judgement, strong communication design fundamentals and the ability to move confidently between brand thinking and fast-paced execution.
You will also be expected to use emerging creative technologies, including AI image-generation tools, as part of your everyday workflow to explore concepts, develop visual directions and elevate creative output.
What You’ll Do
Evolve & Apply the Brand System
Work with the provided visual refresh and brand toolkit, auditing existing assets and ensuring the visual identity is applied consistently and intelligently across every touchpoint.
Design Across Multiple Formats
Create high-quality assets across key visuals, social media, digital campaigns, email, WhatsApp collateral, printed invitations, event communications and presentation templates.
Build Strong Communication Design
Apply established typography, hierarchy and graphic systems while understanding how design needs to adapt across different formats, audiences and communication objectives.
Create Iconography & Illustrative Elements
Independently develop icons, graphic devices and illustrative elements that complement and extend the existing visual language.
Develop Premium Presentations
Create sophisticated presentation decks, speaker materials, sponsor presentations and internal/external communications using PowerPoint and Keynote.
Integrate AI Into the Creative Process
Use AI image-generation tools such as Midjourney, Adobe Firefly or similar platforms for concept exploration, moodboarding, image development and visualisation.
Own Photography & Image Treatment
Source and work with real-life and stock photography, applying retouching, colour treatments, compositing and image manipulation to maintain a distinctive and consistent visual language.
Collaborate Across Disciplines
Work closely with copywriters, strategists, marketers and the wider creative team to develop integrated campaign and event assets.
Manage Multiple Deliverables
Work efficiently across multiple creative workstreams and asset requirements within an active, fast-moving festival timeline.
Present Creative Thinking
Clearly articulate the thinking behind your work. We value designers who can explain why a creative decision works, not simply execute it.
Maintain Exceptional Craft Standards
Ensure every asset is considered, polished and production-ready, with strong attention to typography, composition, consistency and detail.
About You
Portfolio First
We care far more about the quality, sophistication and range of your work than the number of years on your CV.
You are a visually sophisticated designer with a strong understanding of brand and communication design. You know how to work within an established identity without simply reproducing templates — and you have the judgement to evolve a visual system while protecting its integrity.
You work quickly without compromising craft, are comfortable receiving creative direction and bring your own perspective and ideas to the table.
What You Need to Apply
✓ A strong portfolio demonstrating premium brand and communication design, ideally across wellness, luxury, lifestyle, hospitality, culture, events or experiential environments
✓ Advanced proficiency across Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign
✓ Excellent typography, hierarchy, layout and composition skills
✓ Strong presentation design capabilities across PowerPoint and Keynote
✓ Experience creating and adapting key visuals and campaign systems across multiple formats
✓ Ability to independently create iconography, illustrative elements and graphic devices
✓ Strong photography selection, retouching, compositing and colour-treatment capabilities
✓ Active experience using AI image-generation tools such as Midjourney, Adobe Firefly or similar as part of a professional creative workflow
✓ Strong understanding of the distinction between different communication formats — from a KV or poster to an invitation, presentation or social asset — and the ability to design appropriately for each
✓ Ability to manage multiple deliverables simultaneously while maintaining speed, precision and attention to detail
✓ Strong communication skills and the confidence to explain and defend creative decisions
✓ Awareness of MENA culture, audiences and communication design
