Job Description

Position Overview

We're in search of a Mid-Level Brand Designer to help craft and execute brand identities and bring marketing campaigns to life. You'll create impactful designs across digital, print, packaging, and more, while ensuring every deliverable meets the highest standards.

This is an opportunity to deepen your skills in creative strategy, campaign development, and branding while growing your career within a collaborative and innovative team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop brand and campaign identities and bring them to life through environments, style guides, toolkits, packaging, collateral, websites, and other assets.
  • Create fresh and inspired design concepts rooted in creative strategy, working independently on smaller projects and under the art direction of senior designers for larger initiatives.
  • Balance independent exploration with collaborative teamwork—sometimes leading your own projects and other times contributing to larger team efforts.
  • Refine designs based on direction and feedback from internal stakeholders and clients.
  • Prepare production-ready files for various executions, ensuring designs meet technical specifications and quality standards.
  • Conceptualize physical and interactive experiences through design that helps tell a story.
  • Work closely with the account team to ensure the work is on-brand and solves the right problems.
  • Collaborate with creative team members and the Creative Director and/or Art Director to stay true to the project's vision.
  • Fight for great design while being open to constructive critique. It's all about the work, and we succeed together as a team!
  • Stay up to date with industry-leading tools and technologies (e.g., Figma, Adobe Creative Suite).

Required Qualifications

  • 4–6 years of professional experience as a designer, preferably at a creative or branding agency.
  • A creative thinker with a strong grasp of design fundamentals, typography, and storytelling.
  • Comfortable designing for things you've never tackled before, with curiosity and adaptability driving your work.
  • Proficiency in industry-standard design tools, including Figma, Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop, with experience in designing decks for PowerPoint and Google Slides. Familiarity with motion design tools (e.g., After Effects) is a plus.
  • Strong understanding of file preparation for print, digital, and other production formats.
  • A deep understanding of youth and consumer culture, with an eye for what's next.
  • Bonus points for previous digital design or interactive experience.
  • Ability to balance independent work on smaller projects with collaboration on larger initiatives.
  • Comfortable presenting work to clients and internal teams, explaining design concepts with confidence and clarity.
  • A problem-solving mindset with a passion for marketing campaigns and consumer trends.
  • A relentless drive to elevate every project—always pushing artistic and conceptual boundaries to make the work f'n awesome.

Benefits & Perks

  • Work on innovative projects that resonate with youth culture, challenging you to think differently and grow creatively.
  • Be part of a collaborative, playful team that values excellence and individuality.
  • We love confidence, but there's no room for egos. We win and learn together as a team, and never leave another Archrivaler hanging.
  • Driven to excellence, committed to grinding out great work mixed with a playful point-of-view.
  • Contribute to meaningful, human-powered marketing campaigns for top global brands.
  • Join a workplace committed to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion, where all perspectives are valued.
