About The Position

We’re looking for a Brand Designer who thrives on solving complex design challenges and elevating ideas into world-class creative. You’ll work across omnichannel campaigns, including upper/mid funnel media campaigns, performance marketing and lifecycle marketing, shaping visual systems that scale while still allowing for creative expression. You’ll also mentor junior designers and collaborate closely with writers, marketers, and strategists to bring campaigns to life. This role is ideal for a designer with strong systems-thinking, typographic rigor, and the ability to adapt creative to maximize impact across a variety of touchpoints — with bonus points for motion graphics and creative automation experience.

When you are not working on-site, you will be working from your home office. We are only considering candidates within a commutable distance to either New York, NY, Frisco, TX, San Jose CA or Newport Beach, CA as we are not offering relocation assistance at this time.
