Graphic/Brand Designer - Creative Director

Our ideal Graphic/Brand Designer - Creative Director will lead the strategy and execution of design projects, including branding, marketing materials, and digital media, with a strong focus on creative direction and project management. You will ensure that all design work adheres to established standards and guidelines while coordinating efforts across multidisciplinary teams. This role involves overseeing the entire lifecycle of client projects, from inception to completion, with a high degree of creativity, attention to detail, and effective communication. You will also manage client expectations, ensuring timely delivery, and successfully handling multiple projects simultaneously with exceptional quality.

Designity is a subscription-based creative platform that enables seamless more efficient collaboration between creatives and businesses through a unique and innovative model. Our unique approach has attracted companies of all sizes, including Calendly, Kung Fu Tea, and Marriott Hotels, who choose Designity for their design and marketing needs over traditional, more expensive, and less efficient alternatives.

We’re revolutionizing the creative industry by introducing more thoughtful, effective, modern design and marketing methods. Companies traditionally hire in-house creatives, which is costly, time-consuming, skill-limiting, and requires substantial supervision. Working with traditional design and marketing agencies offers an alternative but at a high cost. Marketplaces like Upwork and Fiverr claim to offer a more affordable solution, but their model lacks reliability and optimization for creative practices, bringing frustration for businesses.

While we maintain a fast-paced startup environment, we’re also in full scale-up mode. If you’re seeking clear career growth, fully remote work, flexible hours, diverse project opportunities, and a chance to build quality content for your portfolio, Designity is the place to learn, develop, and grow into the creative thought leader you aspire to be.
