Elephant visual designer job description

Visual Designers are talented, driven people with a passion for making gorgeous, ground-breaking work.They're ready for hands-on projects at every stage of the lifecycle, from brainstorming creative concepts with the project team and developing original campaigns, to participating in client presentations and ensuring deadlines are met, all the way to launch. Elephant is a seriously collaborative work environment, so Visual Designers need to collaborate across disciplines on a daily basis, from copywriting to analytics to client services, all while maintaining high standards for original concepts and detailed execution. This is an opportunity to define and reinvent the digital space, and a passion for doing just that is critical.

What we'd like to see:

● 3+ years of relevant work experience.

● You are a strong conceptual thinker. We want people who can start a project off from an incredibly strong position and come up with surprising, cool concepts to move forward with.

● You have a strong background of visual design experience, at least some in an agency environment. You should consider Photoshop and Illustrator to be something like family.

● You have strong teamwork skills-the ability to work with Art Directors and other Designers as well as the confidence and skill to communicate your ideas clearly.

● You are a visual storyteller, understanding how visual design decisions in cropping photography and associating an image to text will impact the intended audience.

● You have a solid understanding of designing intuitive site functionality, interaction, site architecture, user interfaces, and navigation. You know a product needs more than just a pretty face.

● Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in a related field


Elephant is an equal opportunity employer (EOE). We strongly support diversity in the workforce.

About you... and the job:

You live and breathe visual design and your true love exists at the intersection of logic and beauty. Design systems and interface designs are your jam but you don't limit yourself and want to dabble in all things design including web, mobile, ecomm, motion, illustration, and/or brand work.

While not a UX designer, you are comfortable partnering with UX teams and have a conceptual understanding of UX design principles and processes.

You possess outstanding verbal and written communication skills and are comfortable working both independently and collaboratively... but you aren't afraid to ask questions or receive feedback.

You want to learn from and work closely with broad, cross-functional teams including visual, architectural, copy, and development components.

You understand the power of a logical, intuitive, intelligently-designed user experience that helps customers accomplish their tasks quickly and efficiently but also know how to integrate beautiful design and balance beauty with functionality.

You have a super creative mind but are also analytical and strategic in your approach to design. You have a natural curiosity and are an "ideas person" who loves to concept, experiment, innovate, and stay on the cutting edge of digital creative. You'd rather try something new and fail than stay safely in your lane.

You are passionate about the creative world and love to stay on top of the latest design trends, strategies, and technologies as well as how competitors within the industry are doing things.

You are flexible, nimble, and able to adjust to constantly shifting needs and priorities. Above all, you bring joy and passion to your work and to the team around you.

You have a great sense of aesthetic and a natural eye for design demonstrated by your strong portfolio showcasing client work, spec work, and mockups that feature beautiful, modern design across a variety of digital and traditional channels.
