Brand Designer, Growth (Contract)
Air is a Creative Ops System for creative teams, focused on automating tasks to unlock creativity. They are seeking a Brand Designer to join their growth team on a part-time contract basis, primarily focused on display advertising and creative strategy.
Responsibilities
- Design display ads across static and video formats. Own the design of performance creative across on Meta and emerging channels. Every ad should feel unmistakably Air
- Contribute creative strategy—not just execution. Collaborate with the content and marketing team on concept development: hooks, headlines, messaging angles. Push back on weak ideas. Help write the brief before you pick up a tool
- Build a creative testing engine with the growth team. Work with Performance Marketing on a concept → variant → measure → scale framework. Maintain a living creative log that captures what's working and why — not just a folder of finished files
- Grow into more. As you ramp up, there's real room to take on broader brand design work—product marketing, events, social. We'd want to grow this role with someone who earns it
Skills
- Strong design fundamentals - layout, typography, color. You know what good looks like and can execute it consistently
- Video and motion experience - comfortable producing or directing short-form video creative. Motion chops are a plus; exceptional static work can compensate
- Copy instinct - you don't need to be a copywriter, but you should have opinions about headlines and know when a hook isn't landing. A sense of humor mixed with a strong understanding of customer pain points is the Air equation
- Idea generation - brings creative concepts to the table, not just executions. Comfortable pushing back and advocating for a direction. Works quickly, doesn't over-(or under-)think, observes our audience feedback and iterates
- Tools - Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, After Effects, Premiere, or similar video/motion tools
- Based in NYC - available to work in-person typically Tuesday through Thursday at our New York office
Benefits
- Competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance, along with dependent coverage
- A generous work-from-home stipend
- Professional development reimbursement
- Unlimited vacation days
