Ambrook is hiring a Brand Designer to share responsibility for the direction of its brand with the Creative Director. The role spans a wide range of formats – from websites, campaigns and lifecycle email to unusual pieces such as zines, matchboxes and sweaters – and includes helping to define what a brand team does as more of its work is automated. Ambrook's creative director keeps a 1954 agriculture census questionnaire on their desk as a model of how carefully paperwork can be made. You'll report to Ali Aas, Creative Director, within the Brand team, and work closely with Marketing, Product Design and other cross-functional teams.
What you'll own
- Narrative and craft across the work you're accountable for, including work you direct rather than make
- Getting brand expressions produced, whether you make them, direct a contractor, enable a teammate or build the agent that makes them
- Making sure the team can produce on-brand work without you, through skills, templates and evals
- Evolving the brand with the Creative Director, one expression at a time
What you'll be doing
- Shaping the narrative: working with the closest teams to find the story, then making the copy, imagery and composition support it
- Showing the team what's possible through prototypes, mock-ups and printed samples
- Making the work across websites, email, editorial, merchandise, events, microsites and in-product brand moments
- Building for scale by turning repeatable work into templates or skills
- Directing illustrators, photographers, printers and fabricators, then evaluating their output
- Maintaining brand systems, including design libraries, Sanity components and brand documentation
What we're looking for
- Mid-level to senior, with 4+ years of brand work
- Attention to detail that others may not notice but will feel
- A builder who makes things real, from prototypes to CMS pages, and teaches themselves what's needed
- Comfortable across physical and digital work, from landing-page components to merchandise
- Has built AI workflows and tools that the team still uses regularly, not just demos
- Self-directed: gathers context, turns ideas into proposals and keeps projects on schedule
- Bonus: motion design experience, or the resourcefulness to learn whatever tool gets the job done fastest
What's on offer
- Base salary: $125,000 – $195,000
- Competitive salary
- Health insurance
- 401(k) with employer match
- Paid parental leave
- Flexible holiday
- Flexible work hours
- Remote-work stipend, or a desk in the NYC, San Francisco or Denver office
- Wellness stipend
- Professional development stipend
Our values
- Reach Understanding: learning about customers, team and world with curiosity and empathy
- Real Talk: being straightforward, vulnerable and accountable
- Be Proactively Resourceful: finding opportunities and solving problems
- Derisk Thoughtfully: addressing the company's biggest risks systematically
- Find the Positive-Sum: aligning incentives across the company, customers and planet
