Brand Designer

The candidate will have responsibilities across the following functions:

Social and Campaign Design:

• Design static and animated social media creatives across Instagram, X, YouTube, and other platforms.
• Translate campaign briefs into visuals that are on-brand, on-time, and built for each platform's format.
• Move fast on reactive content around live events, artist announcements, and cultural moments.
• Iterate based on feedback without ego and without losing momentum.

Marketing and Brand Collateral:

• Support the creation of pitch decks, one-pagers, event graphics, email templates, and merch mockups.
• Help maintain and evolve thumpN's visual identity across touchpoints, keeping colour, type, and layout consistent.
• Explore new visual styles, illustration directions, and design trends to keep the work feeling current.

Day-to-Day Production:

• Manage your own files, versions, and handoffs cleanly and without being chased.
• Work closely with Marketing, Social, Content, and Partnerships teams on briefs and timelines.
• Use AI tools where they genuinely speed up the work without compromising the output.

Requirements:

• 2 or more years of design experience. Internships and freelance work count.
• Solid working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign at minimum.
• A strong eye for layout, typography, colour, and visual hierarchy. The fundamentals matter most.
• Comfort working within brand guidelines and design systems, not just freestyling.
• Familiarity with AI tools and an honest sense of where they help and where they do not.
• Genuine curiosity about design. You follow designers, save references, and care about the details.

Preferred:

• Experience with Figma for design handoff or collaborative workflows.
• Exposure to motion or basic animation in After Effects or similar tools.
• Background in entertainment, youth culture, consumer brands, or media.
• A portfolio that shows range across social content, brand work, and print or digital collateral.
