ABOUT US

Shorthand exists to empower creative teams to produce and publish beautiful, transformative content radically faster. We’ve begun our journey by creating an easy-to-use platform for one of the most creatively and technically demanding use cases on the web — immersive feature stories — and we’re proud to count many of the world’s best known and most discerning publishers, brands, not-for-profits, and universities as loyal customers.
Shorthand is a growing, investor-backed company with customers on every continent (except Antarctica!), and there’s never been a more exciting time to join our band of geeks with art and heart.
We’re looking for a creative, tech-savvy Digital Designer to join our fully remote team. The role comes with a high level of responsibility and autonomy. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an ambitious but down-to-earth team that is making an outsized positive impact in the digital publishing space.

Premium digital design and visual storytelling are a big part of the Shorthand magic. The purpose of this role is to help our customers create beautifully engaging visual content using our web publishing platform. You’ll know you’ve succeeded in this role when your efforts help our customers gain recognition for creating world-class web content and digital communications.
The successful candidate will join our Growth and Marketing team, and report to the VP of Growth and Marketing. The role will also collaborate closely with our Design, Customer Success, and Sales teams.
We are looking for someone based in Australia or New Zealand with exceptional verbal and written communication skills in English.

In this role, you’ll:

• Use the Shorthand editor, alongside other design tools, to develop customisable feature article templates to inspire customers and help them get started with the Shorthand platform.
• Deliver Shorthand story design services to customers who are short on in-house design resources.
• Engage in story co-creation with new customers who are in the onboarding process.
• Design materials for Shorthand’s website as required, such as visual assets and landing pages.
