Brand Designer

Are you an experienced Marketing Designer or Brand Designer? Would you like to work for a company that understands the critical role of design, cares about high quality, is less concerned about deadlines, and gives you the autonomy to do your best work?

Here at Circuit, we don’t skimp on design because we understand the impact it has. As our Senior Marketing Designer, your designs will set the tone for the experience our users have with our brand.

This is a new, senior role in a newly formed team - and it's not just about creating visually appealing graphics (although we love them!). It’s also about helping evolve our brand and design language, creating compelling narratives, simplifying complex ideas, and, of course, driving engagement.

• A semi-asynchronous, flexible working model

• We are bootstrapped and profitable

• A diverse team that spans Europe, South America, and Canada

• A culture of communication and transparency

• The freedom to work autonomously because we trust your judgment

The pay

• £70,000 (~$89,000 USD) per annum

• £2000 every three years for a new laptop

• £500 a year for new tech/home office

• Equity options for everyone

• Annual company performance bonus

• 32 days of paid time off

• £500 a year for team co-working events

• Annual team meet-ups worldwide (5* hotel in Lisbon, Portugal, September 2023!)

Who are Circuit (and what do we do)?

What you will be doing:

Day-to-day, you’ll create cohesive, unexpected moments of joy across all our digital assets. You’ll be focused on translating complex product features into simple, easy-to-understand graphics for our websites, ads, app screenshots, customer emails, and more. You’ll have autonomy over the projects you own and will use data to continually look for ways to improve conversion and engagement.

As part of the Marketing Design team, you’ll join our Design Lead and Senior Digital Designer to create and maintain our brand guidelines and visual identity, communicate and iterate on design decisions, and participate in regular design crits.
