Job Description

Selion Global is a founder-led leadership advisory working at board and senior executive level globally. We operate at the intersection of professional services and hospitality-grade service excellence. Our positioning, language, and point of view are established.

What we envision is a clear, enduring visual expression that reflects the judgement and discretion we already operate with and that supports a more disciplined, low-maintenance digital presence.

This is a website-led visual engagement, not a brand-system or rebranding project.

The engagement focuses on a new wordmark and a visual overhaul of our existing website. The objective is to define a coherent visual direction of typography, colour, layout, and motion that anchors our digital presence with greater hierarchy, clarity, and permanence. The website should evolve toward a more editorial, purpose-led structure: restrained, conceptually grounded, and designed to endure without constant redesign or upkeep.

The role

  • Lead a visual reskin of an existing website (no backend rebuild)
  • Refine typographic system, colour palette, spacing, hierarchy, and rhythm
  • Introduce understated motion as an atmospheric system, replacing heavy video
  • Consolidate pages and improve editorial clarity
  • Work closely with an existing developer on implementation

You may be a fit if you

  • Have strong editorial and typographic sensibility
  • Think in hierarchy, spacing, rhythm, and restraint
  • Are comfortable designing with space, materiality, and calm confidence
  • Understand how subtle motion can replace overt media
  • Work independently and judgement-led
  • Are confident collaborating closely with a developer

We are open to designers who may not carry a formal “Director” title, but who operate with equivalent judgement, independence, and restraint.

This is not

  • A brand discovery exercise
  • A packaged brand or identity system
  • A conventional professional-services aesthetic
  • A UI-heavy or trend-driven redesign

Practicalities

  • Fixed-scope freelance collaboration
  • Remote
  • Fast iterations, clear decisions, minimal rounds
  • Direction and final calls provided from our side
