Finally, a digital design role with purpose! 🌎🦒🐢
🌱 Our global team at GVI is on the lookout for a talented Digital Designer to join us in our mission of protecting our planet's ecosystems & communities.
⭐ As a key member of our design team, you'll bring fresh energy and collaborate closely with the creative director and other team members to design digital assets, website elements, and some print materials from time to time—all aimed at driving positive change. Staying ahead of Gen-Z market trends and brand evolution is key.
We're in search of someone with a keen eye for detail and a talent for transforming creative briefs into impactful designs. You thrive in collaborative team settings, enjoy brainstorming ideas, and welcome constructive feedback. Additionally, you're also known for your discipline and organisational skills, effortlessly managing multiple projects and meeting reasonable deadlines.
The successful candidate will showcase a strong desire and passion for environmental protection and sustainable development by enhancing our brands' UI and UX, improving website conversions, boosting click-through rates, and refining our variety of brands’ identities and their engagements, while ensuring consistent market appeal.
While this all sounds super serious, we are a bunch of individuals who also love to have fun, be silly and laugh at ourselves! Get your outfits ready if you feel like dressing up like a shark or plastic bottle zombie for meetings on our themed costume days…or enjoy a lunch out with colleagues in your area if dressing up is just not your vibe! You do you!
