Senior Designer

<h2>About the role:</h2><ul>
<li>You'll be the primary design engine of the Jacob media team, building a curated visual presence with an unmistakable aesthetic point of view</li>
<li>Working directly with our founder and creative director, you'll touch every piece of media a customer sees: campaign graphics, social and paid formats, out-of-home, retail moments, brand collateral. Every word a customer reads and every image a customer sees from Jacob must be held to the highest of standards, represent our premium quality, and speak to our brand voice and message in a consistent, appealing manner.</li>
<li>We're not looking for a classic food-and-beverage designer. We're looking for someone who understands design at its heart–its restraint, craft, and power to build worlds–and wants to bring that philosophy somewhere it rarely lives.</li>
</ul><h2>What you'll do:</h2><ul>
<li>Design campaign graphics and craft stunning visual assets across every touchpoint</li>
<li>Build campaign worlds–visual identity, typography, and layout systems</li>
<li>Adapt and format campaign creative across dozens of placements and specs while keeping the visual system airtight</li>
<li>Collaborate daily: briefs and reviews with our founder and creative director, handoffs with content manager, timelines with producers</li>
<li>Understands how to work on dielines with a packaging printer to support flavor launches and product drops with packaging design work</li>
</ul><h2>Requirements</h2><ul>
<li>7+ years of design experience at a brand, studio, or agency–likely in fashion, lifestyle, editorial, or culture</li>
<li>A portfolio that shows taste: restraint, exceptional use of typography, and world-building (not trend-chasing)</li>
<li>You understand design at its core and are excited to bring that philosophy to a category that's never seen it done right</li>
<li>Comfortable working inside someone else's vision: you disagree usefully, bring your craft, and don't need to be the author</li>
<li>Direct, low-ego, and energized by working shoulder-to-shoulder with a small team where the best idea wins</li>
<li>Obsessive about details, operate with speed, and delivers on-time in-full</li>
<li>Multi-disciplinary: this role is for someone who doesn't fit neatly into one "graphic designer" box</li>
<li>A contact book of freelance design/production talent is a plus</li>
<li>Photo-editing skills are a plus</li>
<li>Animation/motion-graphics skills are a plus</li>
</ul><h2>Benefits</h2><ul>
<li>Full-time, in-office position (5 days per week) based in New York City</li>
<li>Cash Compensation: $140k-$170k</li>
</ul>
