Senior Brand Designer

New York, NY

Paperless Post is seeking a talented Sr. Brand Designer to join our dynamic brand team. Our ideal candidate will bring a passion for brand storytelling in digital channels—particularly through animation—and will help maintain original marketing concepts and style guidelines.  

As a key member of a small team, the Sr. Brand Designer is someone who approaches their work with a high taste level, enthusiasm for concepting and problem-solving, and strategic thinking. They have a discerning eye for detail and can execute day-to-day deliverables, working collaboratively with other teams to create elevated, engaging, and cohesive visual brand experiences across multiple channels, including: our website, emails, social content, blog editorial content, and digital ads.

What you’ll do here:

  • Work with the Design Director and marketing team (designers, copywriters, marketers, and technologists) to concept new and creative ways to engage and communicate with our users—proactively bringing independent ideas to brainstorms with a clear vision for execution.

  • Evolve the visual identity of the Paperless Post brand system to feel more elevated and modern, differentiating tone for our various categories and offerings (e.g., Weddings, Pro, Product/UX).

  • Design digital materials that are unique, clear in messaging, and reinforce the brand as a design leader. Examples of deliverables include: creative concepting and exploration across email layouts, in-house photo shoots, original blog editorial creative, press and partner collateral, and other marketing assets (email, social, ads).

  • Concept and lead partnership launches.

  • Confidently present design work to senior leadership and external partners.

  • Contribute to mentoring junior designers, offering guidance from technical skills to stylistic development, with the goal of enabling them to work independently on lower-level tasks.

  • Initiate collaboration with Product and Content teams to refine existing marketing materials (e.g., native support) and launch new initiatives (e.g., Pro, Homepage).

  • Contribute to all phases of creative production—from concept to execution—for multi-channel brand campaigns.

About you:

  • 5+ years of experience working in branding, web, and mobile.

  • A well-developed and sophisticated visual style, demonstrated through a strong portfolio showcasing brand storytelling and cross-channel campaigns.

  • Expertise in sophisticated typography and dynamic layouts, with the ability to adapt tone—from technical (product features), to elegant (weddings), to avant-garde (experimental partnerships).

  • Experience developing marketing initiatives that tell a cohesive brand story.

  • An energetic and collaborative work ethic.

  • Strong organization and time management skills.

  • Fluency in Sketch, Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator; experience with photo editing.

  • Mid-level to advanced skills in After Effects animation, with a strong desire to grow into an expert.

Company-wide, we enjoy an amazing ecosystem of an even gender split and a balance of engineers and designers. Because Paperless Post isn't supported by ad revenue, we can focus our efforts on creating and improving on the ideal version of our platform, product, content, and partnerships for our users.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
