POSTED ON 7/8/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 8/6/2026

JOB TITLE: Brand Designer
LOCATION: Remote (PT or ET based)
DURATION: Through 12/31/26
RATE RANGE: $110-$115/hr

POSITION SUMMARY:

We're looking for a Brand Designer who is a strong hands-on maker — someone who builds brands and brings them to life across media. You've created ownable key visuals and the visual toolkits that scale them, and you can take a brand from a strategic idea to work that holds up everywhere, at any size.

You pair brand-systems thinking with real craft, moving fluidly from a single hero visual to a full toolkit others can run with. You think conceptually but execute rigorously — shepherding work from idea to launch with clarity and minimal oversight. You set a high bar for the work around you, and you do it without being precious — sharing your thinking openly and building on what the team brings to deliver breakthrough creative.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Build and evolve cohesive brand systems and visual toolkits that scale across campaign, product, and activations.
  • Develop iconic, ownable key visuals that define a brand's expression and translate across scale and medium — from in-feed to large-format OOH
  • Deliver high-craft brand solutions from early exploration through production-ready output; deeply hands-on at every stage
  • Bring brands to life across integrated campaigns in partnership with marketing, campaign, product design, and strategy
  • Create the toolkits, guidelines, and templates that let internal teams and external partners execute consistently and at volume
  • Partner closely with campaign creatives and producers to pressure-test, build on, and elevate ideas together — landing breakthrough work as a team
  • Distill complex narratives into simple, clear, emotionally resonant creative
  • Present and defend creative rationale to senior leaders and partners; help elevate craft across the team

QUALIFICATIONS:

Minimum Qualifications

  • 6 years of brand design experience (agency and/or in-house).
  • Portfolio showcasing iconic key visuals and visual toolkits brought to life across campaigns and multiple mediums
  • Proven ability to translate brand strategy into integrated campaign expressions across channels
  • Proficiency across graphic design, art direction, typography, layout & grids, color, and photography (incl. art-directing shoots / building photo libraries)
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills with senior leaders and internal/external partners
  • Track record of self-initiated work delivering high quality at volume with minimal oversight
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and Figma
  • A link to an online portfolio showcasing your work (include on resume)
  • must be eligible to work in the US


Preferred Qualifications

  • 8 Years of brand design experience (agency and/or in-house)
  • Light motion skills and/or ability to art-direct motion (not the core of the role)
  • Experience managing external partners and influencing cross-functional teams from concept to execution.
  • Fashion or technology industry experience
  • Experience building visual toolkits adopted by distributed teams and agencies
  • Experience creating with emerging platforms and technology (AI)
