Job Description
About Slate Slate is a new US Electric Vehicle company transforming the battery electric vehicle space.
What we are looking for: A passionate self-starter who loves making complicated things simple, simple things interesting, and everything beautiful. In this hands-on role, you'll spearhead the design process by generating ideas and visual executions across a range of materials and media. We're a startup, so you'll need to be comfortable coming up with overarching concepts for campaigns, events, social and more, as well as rolling up your sleeves to help bring them to life visually. Everything from type guidelines to table tents will be in your domain. We're looking for someone who takes the work seriously but not themselves.
As our Senior Graphic Designer, you will have ownership of brand design initiatives and report directly to the Head of Creative. If you're the type of person who bristles at bad type, cringes at crappy kerning, and reflexively redesigns things in your mind, but also knows when good is good enough, drop us a line.
What you get to do: - Work with creative leadership to establish, evolve and refine our brand
- Bring the brand to life through an array of digital and physical executions
- Provide strategic rationale for aesthetic and creative choices
- Design everything from collateral to swag to digital templates to social
- Collaborate closely with the social and production team to develop and execute content
- Be part of a scrappy creative team who advocates for smart, disruptive ideas
- Create work that makes others jealous
- Be an integral part of a growing creative team that's bringing a new brand to market
- Manage and organize library of design assets, including photos, illustrations, iconography, templates, etc., to ensure efficient workflow and accessibility
- Stay on top of – and share – great work, inspiration, and industry trends
What you bring to the team: - Bachelor's degree or experience in marketing, advertising, or a related field.
- 7-9 years of proven brand design experience in-house or at an agency
- Mastery of designing for digital properties including websites, social, CRM and more
- In-depth working knowledge of design trends, principles, and techniques
- Demonstrated experience managing multiple projects from ideation to production, through post-production and delivery
- Able to work both independently and within a highly collaborative environment
- A knack for using feedback to make your work even better
- Excellent written and oral communication skills as well as presentation skills
- Expert in design software including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign
- Comfort working in Microsoft 365 including Power Point, Word, Excel
- Color and typography skills are preferred
- A love of automotive is helpful but not necessary
Location: Remote is acceptable, but we prefer NY Metro (able to commute to NYC if needed), Boston metro, or Troy, MI.
Base Salary: US wide $68,186.20 to $128,551.77.
