Senior Marketing Designer

Wistia is a video marketing software company working to make business more human with video. We aim to be on the cutting-edge of marketing—both in our marketing efforts and by building products and creating content that helps our customers stay ahead of the curve. At Wistia, our goal is to make business more human. That’s a big task, but we're super excited to help the world get there faster through simple and delightful video-focused products.

The marketing design team at Wistia is uniquely positioned to dive into wide range of projects with a diverse set of design needs including brand identity, illustration, Wistia Studios’ show branding, advertisements, environmental design, and much more! Every day brings new and exciting work that is different than the last. We are a small, highly creative and collaborative team that celebrates great design and we are looking for a new member to join our team. As the marketing design team grows, our need for a Senior Designer has increased dramatically. This position will have the opportunity to impact the design team through contributing to marketing design projects by creating production-ready design assets for web and print. This member has the opportunity to partner with our design director and designers on the team to continue to grow their design skillset and will have the opportunity to grow their career with the team.

As a Senior Designer, You are responsible for:

• Building it simple — At Wistia, we value simplicity in everything we do, from our interfaces to the backend systems and services that support them. Your portfolio should demonstrate a refined approach to brand expression as well as systems thinking across platforms.
• Thinking long-term — Our mission is to make business more human. This is not a mission that can be accomplished in a few years — it’s something we will work on for many decades to come, which is why we care so much about long-term thinking and decision-making.
• Shaping the market- The designers that thrive at Wistia think about creating experiences that speak directly to users and potential customers while driving them to the product and Wistia’s content. You will accomplish this with an expert command of design principles including type systems, composition and color theory. UX design sensibilities are a plus.
• Communicating the why — The best designs are built by teams with the most context. We have a culture in which understanding all parts of the business is highly valued: our design decisions, our infrastructure, our finances, everything. And most of all, we really love knowing the reasoning behind decisions across the business.

As a Senior Designer at Wistia, your success will be measured by:

• Generating simple, elegant solutions — You quickly gather and understand the creative brief and work with partners on the marketing team to deliver a high-impact design solution.
• Brand Advocate — You have an in depth understanding of our brand and are able to find creative ways of pushing the brand forward through design and visual communication.
• Communicating design decisions across the organization — You understand how to make educated design decisions with your cross-functional partners and are able to communicate and discuss those decisions with others outside of the design org.
• Learning from feedback — You have a strong design review process and are able to gather and prioritize feedback to deliver on a high-impact design.
• Developing meaningful relationships — You work well with your cross-functional team and stakeholders to understand needs and explain your design choices. You gain the trust of everyone around you by speaking the same language.
• Moving fast and feeling positive — We are a small and fast-paced team with a broad scope of work, so we need to be nimble and have a great time doing it. We don’t play the blame game.
