Digital Designer

Graphic Designer

Calling All Aspiring eCommerce Design Directors! Unleash Your Design Thinking Skills and Be our Creative Superstar with a Thought-Leading Edge.

This is a dream role for a high achieving graphic designer who has already developed an expertise in digital marketing and is looking to level up the impact of their designs and be on the ground floor of building a brand.

NOTE: This job is only for people who believe there is more to life than getting a job at a mega-agency and then holding your breath every round of layoffs.

Dear Future Design Superstar,

• Have you mastered the art of designing emails optimized for CTR and looking to add more creative flare to your daily work?
• Would you like the opportunity to have an impact on the visual identity of up and coming eCommerce brand?
• Do you want to be the owner of your own schedule and work when you’re most creative instead of forcing creativity in the 9-5 hours?

If you’ve always been an artist, enjoy the psychology of digital marketing, and would like to be part of a team where design thinking is highly valued - this could be the opportunity you’re looking for.

But first - here’s a little about us…

Who we are

Sweetflexx was born from the observation that, despite best intentions and the most adamant New Year’s resolutions, many people lack the time and energy to exercise consistently.

We built this company to empower individuals to live their best lives, embrace resistance and create a positive impact.

Our solution is our product: a patented approach that seamlessly integrates resistance technology into leggings, so our customers can “wear their gym”, toning their muscles and burning extra calories as they go about their daily routines.

We are a small but mighty team leading an evolution in clothing.

This is the Opportunity

Be the first in-house digital designer for our fast-growing eCommerce brand in the athleisure & fitness industry.

You will be in the amazing position to help us structure the visuals and visions of the brand. Your creativity and design talents will be what people come to associate with the Sweetflexx brand.

If you have a burning desire to have impact with your designs & creativity, here’s everything else we’re looking for…

Who you are

You deeply resonate with ALL of our core values:

• Health first
• Act with integrity
• Take initiative and innovate
• Do no harm
• Be vulnerable
• Engage in dialogue
• Don’t make assumptions
• Have & be kind

In terms of experience, you have a deep understanding of design and are able to apply design thinking to all aspects of life and problem-solving.

You can coordinate multiple calendars and move adeptly between projects. You have the desire and ability to drive marketing results through design and help us identify opportunities for growth.

You bring an understanding of modern web design, email marketing and campaign experience with you ( this is a must - you will be leading design and must have experience in these areas ).

What you will do

• Develop and execute concepts and layouts for email marketing (Klaviyo), website (Shopify), and print materials
• Design creative assets for digital marketing channels including Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok
• Website auditing & QA
• Work closely with leadership team to develop the look and feel of the brand
• Support product team with creative development of new colors, patterns and unboxing
• Include a creative reference to a purple cow in your resume
• Retouch and optimize product images for web & marketing
• Develop and maintain a consistent brand aesthetic across all channels (we want someone UBER excited to lead and develop this aesthetic)
• Take ideas all the way through the creative process - from idea concept to production
• Create & present mood boards for campaign concepts - be able to clearly communicate ideas, opportunities and concepts
• Collaborate in planning photo shoots - both lifestyle (on location) and product-driven studio shoots

The skills and experience you have

• Bachelor’s degree in the arts preferred
• 2-5 years of experience in graphic design with an emphasis on paid social, eComm, brand marketing and digital campaigns.
• Strong Adobe Creative skills
• UX web design experience
• Self-directed, able to work and prioritize independently in a semi-structured environment - you will be responsible for deadlines.
• Attention to detail!
• Ability to think outside the box - creative problem-solving skills and the ability to apply design thinking to all aspects of the company
• Eagerness to learn about entrepreneurship and willingness to continue to develop and learn from the newest trends and strategies in digital design and eCommerce

It would be a plus if you also had

• Startup experience
• HTML/ CSS knowledge
• Passionate about health, physical exercise and wellness
• In-studio and lifestyle photography experience
• Past agency experience (we’re not an agency - but what you learned there could apply here!)

Who this is not for

• Freelancers who want a lot of different projects and don’t want to be all-in on one brand
• Someone who wants to have their projects assigned, turn in their work, check the box and not put in more than the minimum level of creativity
• “Report card kids” people who are afraid to fail, won't take risks and only want to maintain status quo

Compensation and Benefits

Salary range: 50-70K/year depending on experience, plus annual performance incentives. Sweetflexx offers competitive benefits including:

• 100% remote, with occasional in-person company retreats
• Unlimited time off (and we actually mean it! We care more about what you do than when you do it)
