Wayfair is seeking a highly creative Senior Design Associate with exceptional visual taste to join our Brand Creative team.

You are a designer with a sharp eye and a high bar for craft who understands how to create work that feels both on-brand and culturally relevant. You use AI not as a shortcut, but as a tool to explore new creative territory, unlock new formats, and bring ideas to life more dynamically.

You will partner with Creative Directors and cross-functional teams to deliver best-in-class creative while helping the team evolve how AI can enhance - not replace - strong design thinking.

• Use AI to rapidly concept, iterate, and prototype ideas ( increasing both speed and creative range)
• Collaborate with design peers to pressure-test emerging AI tools, identifying and documenting best practices to help the broader team adopt more efficient, tech-forward workflows
• Identify opportunities where AI can enhance storytelling, not just production
• Concept & Create
• Translate business goals into distinctive, insight-driven creative concepts
• Contribute original ideas that feel fresh, relevant, and ownable to the brand
• Iterate quickly while maintaining a high bar for quality
• Design for scale by building repeatable, modular systems rather than one-off assets
• Omni-Channel Execution
• Design high-performing assets across on-site, email, social, and paid channels
• Ensure consistency and excellence across formats while adapting to channel needs
• Collaborate & Influence
• Partner with Creative Directors, Copy, and Marketing to deliver cohesive, impactful campaigns
• Contribute to creative discussions with a clear point of view and strong rationale

Who you Are

• Exceptional Taste
• Portfolio demonstrates strong visual judgment, originality, and attention to detail
• Clear point of view on design, with the ability to elevate everyday creative
• AI-Forward Creative Thinker
• Comfortable using AI tools to support concepting, image-making, and iteration
• Sees AI as a creative amplifier (not just a production tool)
• Strong Design Fundamentals
• Deep understanding of typography, layout, color, and composition
• Able to execute quickly without sacrificing quality
• Curious & Experimental
• Actively explores new tools, trends, and visual directions
• Brings new ideas and inspiration into the team
