THE ROLE: Senior Digital Designer

We’re looking for…

A Senior Digital Designer to help us create amazing digital marketing campaigns and experiences for Gilt members. We want someone with the desire to be a part of something big, the training and experience to create outstanding work daily, a sophisticated and modern aesthetic sense, and the interest to learn and succeed in a dynamic retail fashion environment. You’ll be joining an amazing creative group that prides itself on the excellence in everything they do, that respects and protects the integrity of our world-class brands, and has fun together doing it. This position reports directly to the Creative Director of Gilt.

What you’ll accomplish:

• Serve as a positive, solution-focused model of creative and collaborative excellence
• Put our members first and help create projects and maintain brand guidelines that ensure our creative work effectively communicates
• 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: 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 our members will love.
• Keep learning. Keep 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 fashion world, the design world, and the digital world. Always learn more and share what you know.
• Brainstorm, develop, maintain and innovate the design, templates and visual content of our site, 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
