Brand Designer

Philo is a small, ambitious startup building the future of television. Our product lets you watch your favorite shows on all the devices you care about, with intelligent search, insightful discovery, and effortless sharing — in short, we are building the TV watching experience that we’ve always wanted for ourselves.

We’re a company that puts people first — both our customers and the people on our team. At Philo, our philosophy is to empower our colleagues to do their best work and have a big impact on the product while supporting each other in a collaborative environment. We value pragmatism, pride in our work, and passion. We believe in having transparency and openness across all parts of the company.

We are committed to diversity and inclusion as we grow the Philo team and shape the future of TV. Promoting inclusion and diversity is a core part of our values, and we believe that a diverse set of voices and perspectives on our team enables us to build the best product for our customers.

Philo is headquartered in San Francisco, with additional offices in New York and Cambridge, MA. Our leadership team includes one of the founders of Facebook as well as alums of Meraki and HBO. Philo is backed by NEA and industry partners including HBO, Discovery, AMC, A&E, and Viacom.

Design and Build
This role works primarily with Marketing teams. In addition to designing, building, and testing concepts, you’ll be (literally) reinventing television. You’ll envision and create the best ways to inform people about the most engaging product ever created, across web, mobile, and TV platforms. Each member of our team works together on the entire product experience. It’s not uncommon to go from brainstorming to polishing design details, to understanding the needs of different platforms. As a Brand Designer, you will work throughout the development process, from developing new ideas to getting the details right. 

We are looking for the next talented designer to join our team to create brand designs for Philo’s product, marketing, and communications needs. You will help execute on our team’s vision of making Philo into a richly visual television brand, both playing an integral role in determining the brand’s creative direction and rolling up your sleeves to produce deliverables. You should have project expertise with brand design, print, and digital marketing. You must be comfortable working across graphic, understanding motion, and advertising media. You should be able to take an idea from concept to launch. We bounce ideas off each other, nerd out on the latest design trends and applications, and leave our egos at the door—we are looking for the next designer to level up our uniquely talented design team. 

What You'll Do:

• Design for product branding, digital and print ads, and communication campaigns

• Collaborate with marketers, engineers, product designers, and managers

• Test and optimize creative on multiple platforms and channels
• Design and iterate for product UI and share ideas on elevating the visuals in the product experience
• Participate in design feedback to internal and external designers

What You'll Bring:

• Strong portfolio, a set of self-initiated projects
• Portfolio that shows conceptual and consistent approach to design, across web, advertising, events, social and most importantly, brand 
• 3-5 years of experience as designer, at a creative agency or an in-house team
• 2-3 years of experience with advertising deliverables
• Illustration and iconography design a plus
• Attention to detail and articulating design considerations and intentions
• Some experience with product design is a plus
