You are a senior designer with at least five years behind you, and a portfolio of real client work across different brands and niches rather than a handful of personal projects. At least three of those years involve email marketing design.
You are expert in Figma. Not comfortable in it, expert. You should be able to build and maintain component libraries, and it helps if you follow what Figma releases closely enough to tell the team when something new is worth adopting. Adobe Creative Suite or Affinity is a useful complement, though we do not lean on either heavily.
You know more than one kind of design output. Email and SMS campaign design is the core of it, but ad images, GIFs, and short video edits come up constantly. Some basic knowledge of web design is a plus rather than a requirement, since landing pages appear from time to time and the team already handles most of that themselves.
What matters most is your eye, and how you talk about it. You can look at a design that is not performing and say what is wrong with it, in what order, and what you would change first. Then you can put that in a message a designer understands without needing a follow-up call. That skill is most of this job.
You are organised enough to run a week of work across several people, and to rearrange it at short notice without the whole thing falling apart.
You are the sort of person a team talks to. Ours is independent and reliable, and there are a few things they would like to see improved that are hard to change quickly. What matters to them is knowing their comments are being considered and answered, not that every one of them gets a yes.
You are curious. You notice when a process could be better and you do something about it instead of working around it. You bring people together across teams with workshops, documents, and tutorials without waiting to be asked.
And you notice detail, in your own work and in everyone else’s.
Key traits for this position:
Strong visual judgement, and the vocabulary to explain it. Organised, and calm when the week changes shape. Approachable, and willing to have the honest conversation rather than the easy one. Curious about tools and trends without chasing every new thing. Detail-oriented past the point of comfort. At ease working remotely with people spread across several countries and time zones.
