About SYP

SYPartners is a consulting firm that focuses on transformation.

Using the tools of strategy and design, we work alongside CEOs, leaders, and their executive teams to design a better future for their organizations—particularly in times of great change. The animating idea that drives us is our belief that organizations designed for both humanity and performance create unprecedented impact. We partner with leaders in organizations that have the courage and rigor to pursue both as equally essential and mutually reinforcing. And we seek to design our own organization in alignment with this idea, as well.

SYPartners was founded in 1994. The company is headquartered in New York City with locations in San Francisco and Abu Dhabi and is a founding member of kyu, a collective of best-in-class creative firms.

The Opportunity

In partnership with Strategists, Designers, Program Managers, and developers, Designers at SYP are responsible for designing the experiences and tools that will lead our clients (and sometimes their customers) through a journey of discovery, learning, understanding, and transformation.

Our work spans all media. This means that no designer at SYP works exclusively in one medium. Designers at SYP will work in Print, Digital, and Experience design. While Designers may specialize in one area of design, they will ultimately apply their skills throughout all three.

By applying below, you'll become part of our talent community, where you'll be considered for future full-time and freelance opportunities that align with your skills and career goals. We're excited to see how you can contribute now and in the future!

Candidate Profile

• You have the innate ability to understand people’s needs and experiences and communicate those insights through a variety of form factors (print, website, presentation, exhibition, film, etc.).
• You are curious about the challenges impacting business and society today, and are passionate about the impact of your work beyond a final deliverable.
• You are a natural communicator. Whether through words, sketches, or prototypes, you share your ideas in a way that inspires others and builds belief.
• You are a motivated self-starter and comfortable with highly collaborative team environments (this is not an asynchronous and autonomous contributor role).
  
  

How You'll Drive Impact

• As a Designer, you will collaborate with a team to deliver impactful work for clients and will assume ownership of various aspects of projects. You will apply your collaborative skills to build relationships with teams across disciplines and with clients.
• As a member of a cross-disciplinary team, you will reach across disciplines and contribute to the whole project, while also ensuring projects are completed with high-quality design aesthetics (typography, photography, motion, composition, color, and hierarchy).
• As a design team member, you will be mentored by Creative Directors and partner with other designers to create visual and experiential systems across a project
  
  

Qualifications

• All levels of experience are welcome; digitally-focused agency or design studio experience is ideal.
• Able to bring together coherent ideas, cutting-edge technical expertise, and inspiring expression.
• A finger on the pulse of what’s new and possible.
• Equipped with a strong foundation in aesthetics (typography, photography, film, composition, color, and hierarchy).
• Interested in the nature and complexity of the organizations we work with.
• Prepared to work iteratively and often in ambiguity.
• Able to draw at all times from an ever-growing range of visual and cultural references to define moods and ideas.
• Able to work on-site with our team in Abu Dhabi

We recognize this commitment requires continual learning, reflection, and imagination
