Experienced designer with strong concepting & project management skills

Working at Bou

When joining Bou, you'll get to work directly with our 100+ brands, ranging from early-stage companies to more established brands, universities, and nonprofits. And we really do mean directly – we don’t have key account managers or pure strategists at Bou. You'll become a part of an all-hands-on-deck team building brands through marketing, communications, design, and web development.

Required skills

• 5+ years of design experience – you have an extensive portfolio from working as a designer or an art director, at an agency or in-house
• Deep understanding of branding – you know that a great visual identity is just one aspect of branding, and understand that your expertise is needed from first positioning exercise to continuous marketing and communications efforts
• Simply put: you’re a very good designer – you know this, but you don’t let it go over your head. You value straight talk and direct feedback, and want to know when your work is not first-rate
• You understand the technology and tools your designs are built on – you work well with developers and understand how much time making pixel-perfect work requires
• You go for motion when you can – you consider movement as part of a brand's visual identity, and have solid 2D animation skills to move things on websites and social media feeds
• Client communications and project management experience – you keep a cool head under pressure, and can give and take candid feedback well. You're natural working directly with clients and have some experience leading a project team
• Hunger to learn from a wide range of industries – we build brands for a great variety of products and companies, from handcrafted coffee to mobile games and electric cars
• Working proficiency in English – it will be your first working language as we work with several international brands and communicate in English within our team
