Why this role exists

Designers do their best work when they're solving creative problems, not chasing deadlines, managing follow-ups, or untangling communication gaps. That's where you come in. We're looking for someone who can create clarity amidst creative chaos: someone who improves how we work, builds systems, and helps our team consistently deliver work that matters. You won't just keep projects on track. You'll shape how the studio runs.

About Us

We believe design is how you solve problems, not just how you make things look.

For nine years, Vichithram has been a communication design studio built on a simple belief: strategy comes before aesthetics, and every design decision should mean something. We work across branding, websites, packaging, and digital experiences, for clients spanning wellness, lifestyle, finance, tech, and beyond. But what defines us isn't the work. It's how we approach it.

Strategy before aesthetics.

We solve the problem before we style it.

Storytelling at the core.

Every brand we touch has a story worth telling well.

Collaboration over silos.

The best work happens when strategy, design, and craft move together.

Curiosity and continuous improvement.

We're always asking how we can do this better.

If that sounds like the kind of studio you'd want to be part of, keep reading.

The Work

What you'll own.

Your responsibilities fall into four areas.

Project Leadership

Manage branding, website, packaging, and communication projects from brief to delivery. Plan realistic timelines, coordinate teams, and track every milestone along the way.

Client Communication

Own project communication end-to-end. Run meetings, manage expectations, and translate client feedback into clear, actionable direction for the team.

Team Coordination

Align designers around shared priorities. Remove blockers before they slow people down, balance workloads thoughtfully, and keep everyone moving in sync.

Process & Systems

Improve workflows, build SOPs, and document best practices. Standardize the processes that repeat, introduce systems where they're missing, and help the studio scale.

The First 90 Days

What success looks like.

Ninety days in, here's what we'd hope to see:

Every project has clarity: everyone knows what's happening and why
Designers know exactly what's expected of them
Clients feel consistently informed
Deadlines are realistic, and we hit them
SOPs are being documented and put into practice
Projects run with far less firefighting
The team trusts your leadership

You genuinely care about design quality
You communicate clearly, even when things are complex
You like helping other people do their best work
You stay calm under pressure
You don't wait to be told what needs fixing. You spot it and act
