Brand Designer (Contract)

About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

About the Role:

Notion’s Creative Team is a group of strategists, designers, illustrators, filmmakers, writers, web engineers, and producers that deliver on all of Notion’s brand and creative expressions. We’re looking for an experienced Brand Designer who can work across our in-house team and contractors to help bring dozens of projects to life — and can help our team reach exceptional outcomes.

What You’ll Achieve:

• Join a small team of designers and help to shape our identity, printed matter, social, merch, videos, events and more
• Craft every detail of branded projects, from initial idea through to production
• Help lead and creatively direct external agencies and collaborators
• Create design systems and guidelines, finalize template and asset files for production
• Collaborate with teams across the company to bring initiatives and new products to market using novel design and storytelling solutions
• Develop a deep understanding of Notion’s brand and help to expand and evolve it over time

Skills You’ll Need to Bring:

• At least 5 years experience in an agency or in-house environment
• Outstanding portfolio of relevant work
• Excellence in visual design and typographic skills
• Self-starter who brings new ideas to the table
• Strong presentation and communication skills
• Able to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment
• A desire to review work, mentor others, and co-create with partners from different background and expertises.
• Good knowledge of Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)

Nice to haves:

• A passion for toolmaking and expanding access to technology.
• Experience in animation / motion graphics, illustration, photography, coding, writing, or other specialist skillset.

We hire talented and passionate people from a variety of backgrounds because we want our global employee base to represent the wide diversity of our customers. If you’re excited about a role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every bullet point listed in the job description, we still encourage you to apply. If you’re a builder at heart, share our company values, and enthusiastic about making software toolmaking ubiquitous, we want to hear from you.
