Senior Designer

About Us

At Trade, we believe that anyone can make great coffee at home when they have access to roasts and tools tailored to their preferences. So we’ve curated over 450 coffees from 60+ small-volume roasteries around the USA, and we pair each customer with their perfect match through a simple online quiz. The result? Our customers have been obsessed, ordering over 9-million bags of coffee to date. Now, Trade is poised to accelerate our growth as the premier online destination for the $14-billion at-home coffee market…and we need your help.

The Role

Do you regularly annoy your pals with oddly specific opinions on pixel density, letter kerning and HEX codes? Does your “for-you” page double as a mood board when you’re in a creative rut? Are you incapable of simply enjoying a day out of the house without debating the benefits of Figma vs. Photoshop with your subconscious?

We want … scratch that … NEED to meet.

Our Senior Designer (future you?) will play an integral role in leading, shaping and defending our ecommerce brand identity across all digital touchpoints…plus the occasional physical one. Reporting directly to the Executive Creative Director, you will leverage your experience in ecommerce needs, including graphic design, UI design, and digital marketing to create visually captivating content and campaigns. Your role will be instrumental in driving engagement, building brand loyalty, and elevating the overall customer experience.

Someone who’s collaborative, who soaks up responsibility, and who’s detail-oriented is a must. Someone who loves coffee is not (but it doesn’t hurt). 

What You Will Do

• Conceptualize and design compelling assets that will fuel the growth of our ecommerce platform—including website content, landing pages and UI designs, email newsletters, social media assets, and other marketing collateral
• Collaborate with the marketing team to bring engaging CRM strategies to life, designing targeted email campaigns and flows that effectively communicate brand messaging and promotions
• Utilize your understanding of social media platforms and trends to create visually impactful content tailored to each platform's unique audience
• Design print collateral for new customers, seasonal specials and ongoing promotions.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams including Marketing, Operations, and Engineering to ensure design consistency and alignment with brand guidelines
• Stay updated on industry trends and best practices in digital design, incorporating innovative techniques to enhance user engagement and conversion

• An impressive design portfolio and resume (required)
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
• 6+ years experience in marketing/brand/UI/advertising design role with a digital focus
• Passion for designing, and iterating on, groundbreaking, digital work
• Expertise in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and/or equivalent tool of choice
• Experience with Shopify

• Knowledge and interest in designing for social networking platforms
• Photography, motion design, video editing, and HTML/CSS expertise are each a bonus

• You are a strong and collaborative partner
• You have a strong entrepreneurial spirit
• You are always looking to improve your environment and take things from good to great
• You are detail-oriented in everything you deliver from email designs to a new component
• You can shift with ease between projects while maintaining focus on given priorities
• You’re motivated to build an incredible customer-facing business (bonus if you’re excited to do so in the specialty coffee space)
