About the Role As a Senior Template Designer, you will be the driving force behind how we build, automate, and scale digital assets for some of the world's most recognizable household brands. This isn't your traditional creative ideation role. Instead, you will focus on the clever, technical side of design: production, automation, and system building. You will help us take design concepts and turn them into smart, scalable template systems, ensuring our e-commerce and global campaigns run like clockwork. Working closely with project managers, quality assurance teams, and other designers, you’ll help us make the complex simple and the manual automatic. Responsibilities: Build and maintain robust, scalable template systems and design infrastructure, primarily using Figma. Partner with our automation squad to review design briefs, determining how we can templatise them for maximum efficiency. Collaborate with external creative agencies to simplify design principles, giving feedback to make sure their concepts can be scaled smoothly. Support a variety of global brands with high-volume, e-commerce-heavy deliverables. Guide and support junior and mid-weight designers, delegating tasks and helping them learn the systems you build. Write clear, internal onboarding documentation so our team can easily understand and adopt our template systems. Work hand-in-hand with project managers and QA teams to ensure everything we produce is accurate, efficient, and top-tier quality. About You The essentials: Figma Champion: You have advanced, hands-on experience with Figma and love using its advanced features to build smart systems. Systems Thinker: You have a natural mindset for production, automation, and structural design rather than just starting from a blank creative canvas. Great Communicator: You can explain technical design setups to both technical and non-technical teammates in plain, simple English. Team Player & Mentor: You enjoy collaborating across teams (like PMs and QA) and are happy to guide junior team members. Detail-Oriented: You take pride in neat files, organized layers, thorough documentation and logical workflows that anyone can step into and understand. Not a must, but a plus: Experience presenting design systems or automation workflows directly to clients. At Monks, we believe in fostering an environment where a diversity of perspectives can thrive. We proactively work to design hiring processes that promote equity and inclusion while mitigating bias. We celebrate diversity and are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome and encourage qualified applicants, from all backgrounds, who are excited to contribute to our mission. #LI-JT1 About Monks Monks is the global, digital-first, data-driven, unitary operating brand of S4 Capital plc.
