Visual Designer (remote - global)
SnackMagic, United States
Job Description
SnackMagic is a global snack and swag gifting service that’s made it’s name off our signature build-your-own snack stash. Through SnackMagic corporate organizers are able to use our simple platform to provide mood boosting snacks and swag to delight groups of 5-20,000.
We’re an ambitious group that’s product obsessed with a common growth focused vision for taking our business to new heights. SnackMagic is a true pandemic pivot story. Our growing lunch business (known as Stadium) was NYC based and thrown to the side overnight. Our ambitious and agile team took the hand we were dealt and built a brand new business for the remote world - that’s now doing better than Stadium was.
As a rapidly growing startup, we are looking for a Visual Designer that will help us take our growth efforts to the next level by enhancing the user experience and look-and-feel of our growth experiments and marketing channels. In this role, you’ll work in the intersection of growth and brand, by bringing ideas into life through design- whether it is launching new brands, expanding to new verticals, targeting new industries, or working on growth related product features. You’ll be involved in the entire product development process from early research and concepts all the way to design refinement and launch. This is a fast-paced environment where we are constantly shipping new products and features to our customers, so we are looking for individuals that are willing to learn, can work independently, have a sense of urgency, and are highly adaptable. SnackMagic is based in New York City, but we are open to make it a permanently remote position for the right candidate as long as they are available to work on Eastern Time.
