WHAT’S THE ROLE OF A SENIOR BRAND DESIGNER?

As our Senior Brand Designer, you’ll spearhead the transformation of our message using compelling visuals to reach and attract small business owners. Working across digital mediums (web, social, email, etc.), you’ll collaborate with teams on diverse projects. Throughout your efforts, you will contribute to the development of a unified brand vision that best reflects the brand we are and connects with the audience we serve. As a key member of the marketing team, you’ll work closely with Growth, Lifecycle, and Product Marketing teams to delight, attract, and ultimately drive impact for the business through compelling visual experiences. As a one-person show, you’ll ruthlessly prioritize projects, find efficiencies and advocate on behalf of the brand design craft at Bench–and you’ll have additional resources to support you alongside your work. You’ll report directly to the Head of Marketing, and will also build close relationships with the Product Design team and be invited to join their meetings for brainstorming, idea-sharing, coaching and ongoing collaboration.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ROLE, YOU’LL NEED TO HAVE:

• 5+ years of professional brand design experience, either in house, at agencies, or both. Bonus points for experience working in SaaS
• A high level of expertise in Figma, Sketch, and the Adobe Creative Suite.
• A resourceful and fearless approach to your work. You default to action and are unafraid to take risks in the spirit of driving results and change.
• A strong and diverse set of digital design skills, ranging from Web design, to static and motion graphics.
• The ability to tell a story with ease: Internally, you’re able to think conceptually, and to communicate complex ideas with ease. Externally, you understand how the layout of a page or an asset can make a story shine to the target audience
• Experience designing for channels across the consumer journey, from top of funnel (paid advertising, social) to client marketing (email, etc.).
• Ability to proactively prioritize, manage and complete multiple projects within time constraints and with strong attention to detail. You’re able to work on and deliver multiple high quality projects in tandem
• A positive, go-getter attitude; a passion for storytelling and helping build a growing brand.
• Experience working with and guiding freelancers to expand the breadth and speed of work alongside you
