ROLE

We’re looking for an exceptional Visual/Graphic Designer who is extremely passionate about creating impeccable, brand-aligned visuals that are designed with care down to every last pixel while acting quickly against the day-to-day execution. This is a digital design role that will mainly focus on marketing, web, social, and video editing, with a heavy emphasis on being able to execute on the MEandMine brand.

RESPONSIBILITY

• Define MEandMine look-and-feel to ultimately become our brand visual champion.

• Work closely with global Marketing team to create on-brand marketing assets for digital formats (emails,

ads, social posts, landing pages) and also some print formats (direct mailers, catalogs).

• Designing eye-catching promotional emails and ads from scratch for MEandMine’s products.

• Being able to carry a project through the entire design process: from concept, to creating rapid design mockups, to iterating and incorporating feedback, to polishing the final details, to adding interaction and animation (when necessary), to exporting final assets.

• Confidently presenting design ideas and recommendations to the team and stakeholders. Explain how project objectives are being met through the designs, and provide suggestions on ways to tweak creatives to better address the goals when needed.

• Growing a deep understanding of brand photography and illustrations to be able to choose – or create – the appropriate assets for each project.

QUALIFICATIONS

• BA/BFA degree in Design (graphic, visual communications, etc)

• 5+ years of experience in visual, eCommerce, brand, or marketing design

• A portfolio showcasing visual and digital marketing design work for mobile and desktop

• Fluent in design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite (especially Illustrator, Photoshop, and After Effects), and able to work in both RGB and CMYK

• Hands-on, “get things done” mentality. You are a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, startup environment, under pressure and working toward aggressive timelines.

• You can multitask and meet changing deadlines while still paying attention to details with limited

resources. You have the ability to balance and productively resolve pressing demands and timelines in order to deliver against the company's vision and goals.

• Resourceful and Flexible. You can see a project through from the idea stage to completion and are willing to do whatever it takes to make it a success. You thrive in ambiguity and are comfortable with the rapid pace of change in a small, nimble team. You are an innovative thinker who can solve problems creatively but also have a strong desire to continue learning and building upon your skills.

• Great communication skills. You’re highly collaborative, can work within cross-functional teams, and are able to give and receive feedback well.

• Video editing skills preferred
