Graphic Designer

⚡ Who we are

Lodgify is a fast-growing startup, focused on building vacation rental software that enables vacation rental owners to independently manage and market their business online. We are an international team of more than 75 people and 25 different nationalities in the heart of Barcelona and we’ve been featured twice in Wired's 100 Hottest European startups list.

Now we're laying the groundwork for continued expansion in 2021 by adding great people to our team who can help us grow in the vacation rental industry.

🌟 About the role

We're on the lookout for a talented Graphic Designer. This is an exciting opportunity to work with a close-knit team and create eye-catching content for our online marketing presence. You will have ownership over a variety of projects from conceptualization to execution and help set the tone for Lodgify.

You're a passionate designer who has experience working with the visual identity of brands in different formats. You're someone who is adept at working in a small, collaborative team that takes pride in producing stunning visual work that impacts a market. You're eager to understand how to use design to convert better as well as to spark a positive emotive reaction from our customers (and employees)!

This position is responsible for working within our new brand guidelines and style guide but will be able to solidify how that is executed. The candidate will craft their own vision for our marketing materials such as our marketing website, marketing ads, eBook templates, video elements, email templates, and landing pages that require a consistent look and feel.

You’ll pick up invaluable experience in our fast-paced working environment where you’ll learn to prioritize your tasks, work efficiently and meet deadlines – all the while using your creative skills.

🧞‍♂️ What you'll be doing

• Work with the marketing team to conceptualize and execute compelling designs across all marketing creative materials (performance marketing, social media content, email, in-app messaging, landing pages/website) while reflecting the brand’s personality and driving key performance metrics.
• Collaborate with Marketing to provide strategic thoughts around the best creative ideas.
• Execute our style guide and design systems that allow the marketing team to scale and ship creative quickly, reliably and without compromising the brand's look and feel.
• Continuously test and leverage data to validate your creative instincts.
• Follow design trends, with an eye toward experimentation with emerging tools and techniques.

🎯 We're looking for someone who:

• Pays attention to detail. You can tell when designs don't follow the style guide because the spacing between paragraphs isn't how it's been defined or if one of the mockups has typos. You're skilled at observing and remembering the nitty-gritty.
• Test, test, test. You're always coming up with new ideas to improve performance, are able to identify issues and are proactive in implementing solutions that will drive business decisions and growth.
• Thinks about the customer. Delivering value early and often to our customers is a must. Yes, we have marketing goals, but you’re always thinking about them through the lens of the people who actually click “subscribe.”
• Plays well with others. You love working in a team. You're willing to contribute wherever necessary to meet team goals (for example, by conducting your own research, helping with video editing, or proofing a requirements document).
• Gets stuff done. There are no time clocks or ankle chains keeping you at your desk. You have work to do, deadlines to hit and projects to complete. That means that you’ll need your problem-solving and organizational skills almost as much as your writing chops.
• You are self-motivated. You don’t need to be tightly managed to be successful, yet you understand the importance of following processes and communication. You don’t need to be fired up; you’re self-motivated by the inner drive to produce the best results and to be part of creating something great.
• Expects feedback and changes. Because they’re coming whether you expect them or not. People can run from it, or run with it. You choose the latter.

Requirements

• Outstanding portfolio of design samples of high-converting landing pages, websites, performance marketing ads (Google display and Facebook), eBook templates, email templates and designing for video projects.
• You have proven experience in UX & UI design to improve conversions and the overall experience on-page.
• You're proficient with design tools including Figma, Sketch, InVision and Principle.
• The ability to follow a style guide, prioritize and manage work and adhere to critical project timelines in a fast-paced environment.
• A good level of English — both spoken and written.
• Experience creating video content and working with Adobe Premiere, After Effects and Final cut pro would be advantageous.
• HTML5 and CSS knowledge will be a plus.

Before submitting your application, please, make sure you have an updated portfolio of sample projects highlighting your previous designs for marketing teams and web-based applications.

Benefits

• 25 paid vacation days
