Brand Designer, Content

Squarespace is the easy way to build a beautiful brand and business online. In order to help our customers make the most of our tools, we’re seeking a Brand Designer for a new team focused on educational content. Like everything we make, this work will place a premium on design, culture, craft and clarity — the opposite of boring demo videos and dry product walkthroughs. Our goal is to prepare the next generation of entrepreneurs to succeed online in the most stylish way possible. 

So, about you. You probably have experience with various kinds of content packages: longform video, episodic video series, explainer videos, podcasts, downloadable guides and editorial, to name a few. You seek to educate and inform in equal measure, and know that the packaging is as important as the content. You are a real person who creates things for other real people, with a high taste level and some wit. You can make complex ideas easy to understand without resorting to the ol’ “explain it to me like I’m five” routine. 

What else? You’re a tight designer, maybe with some familiarity with designing for motion and/or illustration. You’re a great collaborator, conceptual and craft-focused in equal measure. You’re willing to be held to very high standards. You’re a good communicator and a great problem solver. You’re nice, too. We like nice. 

You’ll report to the Creative Lead (Content).

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Help define a new creative function around educational content.
• Help answer this question: “How does a brand that’s all about perfection engage with people who are eager to learn, try, make mistakes and get where they’re going in an iterative way?”
• Create beautiful and compelling work across video, editorial and guides.
• Balance our strategic goals with the importance of doing things the Squarespace Way.
• Upholding our sky-high creative standards.

REQUIREMENTS

• Relevant experience creating similar kinds of content for brands we love and respect. 
• World-class design skills.
• Cool, calm and collected.
