Design Coordinator
About Us
DesignGuru is a subscription-based design studio transforming how fast-growing companies access world-class design. Our clients subscribe to creative firepower — and we deliver, through a global team of exceptional designers and a process that just works. We’re on a mission to make great design accessible, efficient, and delightful. And we’re growing fast.
The Role
We’re looking for a Design Coordinator to be the operational heartbeat of our creative workflow — a sharp, proactive problem solver who connects the right briefs to the right designers, and ensures clients get work they love. You’ll thrive in this role if you’re highly organized, know how to work fast without dropping the ball, and understand the rhythms of a creative agency. This is a pivotal resourcing role — you won’t be directing design, but you will be enabling it at scale.
What You’ll Do
- Own the brief intake process — read and interpret client briefs to understand goals, deliverables, and scope
- Match briefs to the best-fit designer based on skills, style, and capacity
- Coordinate client communications — clarify brief requirements, manage expectations, and ensure feedback is captured
- Keep delivery flowing — monitor project timelines, proactively identify bottlenecks, and flag issues early
- Maintain a high standard — review outputs for completeness before they go back to the client
- Optimize resourcing systems — work with DesignOps to improve processes, tools, and designer visibility
What We’re Looking For
- 2+ years experience in a design, creative, or digital agency environment
- Strong resourcing, studio management, or traffic coordination experience
- Track record of success in fast-paced, multi-project settings
- Exceptional proactive problem solving — you see issues before they arise and solve them before they escalate
- Excellent communicator — clear, empathetic, and efficient
- Familiarity with design tools and workflows (Figma, Notion, Slack, Trello, etc.)
- Bonus: global or remote team experience
Why Join DesignGuru?
- A fast-growing, design-led company doing things differently
- Work with an exceptional global team of creatives and operators
- Flexible remote work, async culture
- Opportunity to shape and scale a core function
- Mission-driven, creative-loving culture
- Competitive salary and performance based bonus
