About the Role
Title: Senior Visual Designer for All Turtles (Contract)
Location: Global
Job Description:
All Turtles, founded in 2017, is a global studio of product and brand experts merging technological innovation with a human perspective. We invest in and collaborate with early-stage startups and founders, and also create our own products. We design thoughtful user experiences, develop pragmatic brands and products, and use simple, direct business models to improve workplaces and enhance people’s quality of life.
Our deeply collaborative, world-class team of product experts propels early-stage startups and incubates innovative products, always pursuing quality over quantity. From improving workplace communication to empowering employees or improving health outcomes, we engage with a broad yet selective set of problems that matter deeply to us and reflect our point of view.
Unlike an agency or consulting firm, external companies cannot hire All Turtles. We invest cash and services in return for equity or provide services in return for a combination of cash and equity. Our incentives are fully aligned with studio company founders: the success of their products means success for All Turtles.
As an experienced designer working in partnership with one of our studio companies, you’ll extend brand identity and visual expression across channels and support the launch of exciting new products. You’ll push pixels but also participate in strategic conversations to shape how those new products communicate who they are and what they do.
If you enjoy thinking holistically about brands and working across every facet of identity and marketing-from logos and naming conventions to style guides and design systems to websites and campaigns-this role could be a fit. We’re looking for someone who loves hands-on design work but can also contribute strategically to early-stage projects and companies.
YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR:
- Bringing brand and marketing initiatives for mmhmm, the groundbreaking hybrid video app, to the next level through designs and assets for websites, campaigns, videos, email journeys, and social media.
- Partnering with mmhmm’s Principal Brand Designer to define, develop, and deliver mmhmm’s visual design systems and brand experiences.
- Collaborating with content, brand, product, developers, and design leadership to ideate and create smart design solutions for new and existing brand and marketing challenges.
- Contributing to and improving our design culture (best practices, tools, deliverables, communications, relationships, etc.)
- Handling a continually changing workload.
- Supporting dedicated project teams in design thinking.
- Assisting additional All Turtles studio companies as needed.
IDEALLY, YOU’LL HAVE:
- 5+ years experience in digital brand design, with a specific focus on web design (mobile first).
- An outstanding eye for detail and consistency, combined with a deep understanding of branding, visual design, usability, grid systems, and mobile-first frameworks.
- Strong sense of concept development and visual storytelling, in addition to communication, collaboration, research, problem-solving, and presentation skills.
- Understanding of the interplay between design and business.
- Solid visual design foundation (typography, layout, storyboarding, etc.).
- Proficiency with leading design software including Figma, or Adobe Suite.
- Thrive in a fast-paced, early-stage environment by managing multiple, diverse projects from inception to completion.
- Proven expertise in building out and evolving a wide range of digital brand and marketing deliverables.
- Experience working with early-stage companies.
- Experience with testing and experimentation.
