Type: Freelance with potential opportunity to convert to Full-Time

The Woobles is a fun, quirky brand with a lean team. We’re looking for a Senior Designer with proven experience creating stellar designs for an array of materials and uses to join our fast-paced, remote work team.

=====================
THE ROLE

You’ve got lots of experience designing all types of stuff for fun, witty brands. You know how to apply a cohesive brand vision across mediums – packaging collateral, merchandise, print materials, signage – we name it, you’ve designed it. Not only that, but your designs delight customers even at first glance. You’re excited to contribute to the product assortment and brand identity of a quickly growing design-centric brand.

You’re eager to engage and contribute. You’ll be working with our Creative Director, Design Team Lead, and the rest of our wooble-savvy product team. You read that sentence and think - “hot diggity, I can’t wait to learn from them.” You gather as much context and feedback as possible, resulting in creative, on-point design solutions. You seek to elevate the brand’s creative standards—pushing work from good to excellent with care and intention.

You have experience designing for and with licensed IP. We frequently collaborate with licensors like Universal Studios, Warner Brothers, Mattel and more to develop co-branded products and supporting assets. You’re comfy working with these big names, and their equally big style guides, to create a cohesive design system that supports the fidelity of our partner’s brand hand-in-hand with our own.

Bonus points if you’re a software dabbler. We’re always looking for candidates comfortable with a tablet who can illustrate, 3D model, animate, or otherwise design their way out of a jam.

REQUIRED SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of professional design experience
- Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (and a solid relationship with Figma).
- Strong portfolio demonstrating conceptual thinking, a variety of projects, and end-to-end execution.
- Strong grasp of typography, color theory, layout, and visual hierarchy in print and 3D/structural design.?
Excellent communication skills and the ability to articulate big artistic concepts in a bite size way to both designers and non-designers alike

ABOUT YOU

You’re an all-around good human being. Life is short, and you want to be around people you like.

You’re kind, honest, and trustworthy. You want to work every day with positive, direct people who make you and your day better. No big egos allowed.

You value autonomy. You do your best when you’re given lots of responsibility and independence. You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy making decisions. Lots of them. When you run into problems, you have the resourcefulness to solve it on your own, and the self-awareness to know when you need help. You’re comfortable working remotely.

You care deeply about doing great work. You’ll do whatever it takes to get things done. But you don’t just settle at that. You’re always looking for ways to break your own records the next time around. Your teammates know they can always count on you, just like you can count on them.

You eat feedback for breakfast. You’re always looking for ways to improve (yourself, the process, the product, you name it), so you give and take feedback with equal grace.

You’ve got a sense of humor. Because have you seen what we make? You’re an emoji connoisseur and appreciate the art of well-timed GIFs. You want to work somewhere where a sentence like this is 100% relevant: “There’s 3 dinos on this one but I think it’s OK because one is riding a turtle.”

You’re thoughtful and detail-oriented. You gather as much context as possible – from business to manufacturing constraints – so you can propose creative, on-point solutions no matter your role!

But also fast. We launch anywhere from 3-10 products a month. You understand that one day’s delay can cause much longer than one day’s delay in the overall launch process, given that we’re manufacturing a physical product with teammates all over the world. You turnaround revisions quickly without compromising quality.
