•    Source and manage freelance designers for overflow of work when necessary

Requirements:
•    At least 2 years of experience working at an agency
•    A smart and eye-popping portfolio of work, showing wireframes and final visual design (showing your entire process would be a plus)
•    A solid understanding of responsive design for different screens (handset, tablet, desktop, etc.)
•    Visual design fundamentals; well-versed in typographic and UI principles; color theory and brand communication
•    See value in illustration, art, and design as a vessel for bold, clear communication
•    Proficient in Photoshop, Illustrator and/or other design and prototyping tools
•    Proficient in at least one wireframing tool (Omnigraffle, InDesign, etc.)
•    Ability to prioritize, organize, and communicate your vision and design decisions both internally and to clients
•    Have opinions about good and bad design and the ability to justify them
•    Up to speed on the latest web design technologies, trends and techniques
•    Be able to anticipate client needs and fulfill them
•    Be able to manage multiple projects and deadlines
•    Know some HTML and CSS, or at least understand the concepts
•    Self-motivated with the ability to work independently, but also know when to ask for help and take direction
•    Ability to collaborate with poise and integrity

Nice-to-haves:
•    You can put together basic prototypes with HTML/CSS/JS
•    Motion design skills to explore UI approaches and solutions
•    Good writing and editorial skills
