Job description

The Role

We're looking for a midweight Brand Support Designer to support our retainer clients and agency marketing across a variety of touchpoints. You'll be a champion of all things visual — applying and expanding upon Afternow-created brands across marketing collateral, ads, social media assets, and presentation decks.

Working alongside our branding team, you'll assist with material creation and the everyday tasks that keep our brand work moving. This is a part-time, per-hour freelance engagement rather than a full-time commitment — ideal for an autonomous, proactive designer who thrives on variety and delivering polished work at pace.

What You'll Do

Create Marketing & Social Material

Prepare social media posts, ad banners, newsletters, presentation decks, and branded documents for both the agency and our clients.

Support the Branding Team

Create additional visuals and variations — applications, print collateral, digital collateral — that reflect each brand identity and meet client and marketing-team requirements.

Manage Multiple Tasks

Juggle multiple design tasks simultaneously while meeting deadlines and maintaining a high standard of quality.

Iterate on Feedback

Make revisions and adjustments to designs based on team and client feedback.

Provide General Support

Offer day-to-day support to other designers and team members, including light administrative tasks.

What We're Looking For

The Right Mindset

• Autonomous and proactive: You take ownership and move things forward without waiting to be asked
• Highly organized: You manage multiple projects at once and consistently hit deadlines
• Brand champion: You care about applying and expanding brands faithfully across every medium
• Quality-focused: You hold a high standard even under a fast, varied workload

Essential Experience

• Midweight — 3+ years of brand design experience
• Agency, tech company, or freelance background
• Demonstrated experience in brand design, presentation design, and/or marketing campaigns
• Strong portfolio showcasing your design skills and an eye for aesthetics

Design Excellence

• Strong brand craft across marketing collateral, social assets, and presentation design
• Building templates and decks in PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Keynote
• Producing print and digital collateral that stays true to brand identity
• Delivering polished variations at pace across multiple clients

Tools

• Proficient in Figma and Illustrator (essential)
• Comfortable building templates in PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Keynote
• Familiarity with Adobe After Effects is a plus

Communication

• Fluent English (written and verbal) to engage international team members and clients
• Effective collaboration with designers, team members, and clients

Bonus Points

• Animation skills
• Motion or After Effects experience

Hiring Process

1. Application Review — Pre-selection based on your portfolio and a cover letter that tells us more about you
2. Video Call with HR — Initial conversation about fit, availability, and expectations
3. Portfolio Deep Dive with the Design Team — Walk us through a project of your choice: your process, who you collaborated with, the tools you used, and the challenges you faced
4. Welcome to Afternow!
