Associate Graphic Designer
THE ROLE:
We’re looking for…
A talented Graphic Designer with experience in digital performance marketing campaign creation to help us build out our rapidly-growing acquisition marketing creative team. Experience as a key design contributor on successful cross-channel digital marketing campaigns AND an ability to discuss the objectives and learnings derived from your projects will be important. We want someone who can flex both sides of their creative brain—a skilled designer with a focus on strategy and analytics! If you have a sophisticated and modern aesthetic sensibility, an interest in fashion and luxury goods, a drive to keep learning and growing as a marketing creative, and a vision for where your career is going—we want to talk!
WHAT YOU'LL ACCOMPLISH:
- Serve as a positive, solution-focused model of creative and collaborative excellence
- Create marketing campaigns and assets, design effective creative tests, respond effectively from growing knowledge of performance-driving factors and always execute to our brand guidelines
- Think big. We do a lot but we can always do more. You should be ready to propose big ideas: the great project we haven’t started, the new twist on an already strong idea, and the biggest version of the things we’re already doing well.
- Know digital, know marketing: not just how, but why. We’re a digital-first team, so come armed with the technical skills to do the work well—but more importantly, bring the ideas and passion for producing work that will attract the next-generation of shoppers to our brands.
- Keep learning and teaching. You’ll be working on a quickly-moving team that’s focused on leading and innovating in a fast-paced industry.
- It’s critical to keep yourself up to date on what’s happening in the digital marketing, paid social, fashion, and design world—especially where they all overlap! Always learn more and share what you know.
- Brainstorm, develop, maintain and innovate the design direction, standards, templates and visual content of our marketing campaigns—primarily through email and social platforms.
- Be organized: Develop and maintain requirements, documentation and processes for all Digital projects.
- Ignore barriers: Work collaboratively and constructively to succeed on each project with all of our partners and associates including UX
- Designers, Project Managers, Product Managers, Art Directors, Designers, Copywriters, Developers, Marketing, etc.
- Work smart, fast: Develop designs in a very fast-paced environment without compromising quality
Improve yourself, improve others: Receive and give constructive feedback on each project

You Have:
- Design chops and a strong portfolio - we're looking for someone with a passion for, and mastery of, design in the digital and social space, a love of typography, color, an eye for fashion and product photography
