Apex Everything

We're looking for an experienced graphic designer for a full-time position in our NYC office. Reporting to the BS Creative Director, you'll support all aspects of the blipshift product creation process and be expected to have an impact designing awesome products.

Primary Responsibilities

• Work with accepted artist submissions in various formats in timely preparation of final vector artwork and supporting materials to (1) ensure best virtual representation of a design for sale and (2) produce art files for the print team
  
• Work with the BS team to translate customer submitted ideas into print-ready artwork through internal development or by freelance assignment of projects to members of the BS artist community
• Manage the BS production process from point of idea submissions through delivery of final assets to print team
• Facilitate the art curation process and maintain the BS production calendar
• Maintain and further develop all BS style guides
• Script communications to help grow and manage relationships with our expanding artist community via direct, email and social media channels
• Provide all graphical assets as required for customer and internal marketing campaigns in all online and traditional media
• Design digital marketing collateral (email marketing, advertisement creative, website & mobile design)
• Design print marketing collateral (Customer communication, brochures, flyers, posters, presentation templates, powerpoint decks, product packaging, etc)
• Design in-store and on-site marketing materials (signage, etc)

CREATIVE & TECHNICAL

• You wield your Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop weapon as well as The Kingslayer did his sword (before his appendage removal, that is).
• Before someone finishes talking about an idea, you're already thinking about 5 ways to make it better. And you can make it happen.
• Does seeing something f-ugly give you the urge to vomit? Can you fix it? Yeah? Good, read on...
• It's all in the details! You gotta be the kind of designer that wants to get everything right.
• You like to talk and write to people. Real people, not avatars in a 3D MMORPG.
• You don't run away from from Excel files (or other data) 'cause you'll need to analyze them to find out what stuff is working.

TEAM PLAYER

• You'll be working with BS team members across all aspects of the biz, so no lone rangers here.
  
• Not afraid to hear opinions from others... or dishing them out.
• Cool with hopping on a plane for work – occasional domestic travel may be required.

YOU WANT TO DO THIS

• Must possess a passion for creating graphics. Seriously, if you don’t love making awesome stuff, stop reading here.
  
• A better than average sense of humor with proven communication and interpersonal skills. If you don’t laugh here, you’ll cry.
• A deep passion for some aspect of auto culture. Or at minimum, empathy for those who might harbor such passions and a reasonable explanation for why you aren’t a verifiable car nut.

OTHER STUFF THAT MAKES YOU A GO-GETTER (Possibly the worst word ever. If you have "go-getter" on your resume, remove it right now!)

• Solve problems. Don't create them.
• You can take a problem, run with it and get it done. You won't get a 50 pt checklist for everything you do.
• Ability to manage your own time and hit deadlines.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and relish the idea of figuring out how to get something done, then defining processes where none currently exist to do it again repeatably.
• When you see a broken process, you'll think of a way to make it better.
• Organized. Do you have stacks of papers on your desk dating from just after Y2K? That could be a problem.
• Ready to do anything. Really. BS is a small company so there are times when someone needs to jump through a ring of fire and you might get the call.
• The sound of human whine hurts your ears.

EDUCATED AND SAAVY

• Bachelors Degree, commercial art / graphic design / industrial design or comparable life experience
  
• 4+ years experience in art / graphic creative and production roles
• Prior experiences with screen printing on apparel a plus
• Knowledge of web design a plus: desktop, mobile, tablet, responsive & UI/UX experience

• Compensation: Yes. Based on skill and experience. Surprisingly, we’ll actually pay you to do your dream job! In your choice of dollars or t-shirts.
• Growth: We're a small company that's busting at the seams, and that's not just from the burritos.
• You'll work with key decision makers of the biz and make your own decisions that'll have a real impact on the company.
• Location: Must work from blipshift’s global HQ in midtown Manhattan (NY). Ixnay on WFH.
• Relocation not provided.
• Medical, 401k, plus life-changing discounts on BS apparel.
