About the role

As the first graphic designer to join our team, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping both our clients' campaign visuals and Kaya's visual identity. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will be responsible for creating visually compelling and impactful designs that drive performance across digital platforms. This position is ideal for those who thrive on crafting designs that not only look stunning but also deliver measurable results. Your creative vision will ensure our visual strategies are not only effective but also innovative and ahead of the curve, driving both client success and our company's growth.

What you'll do

Crafting High-Impact Digital Marketing Visuals

As the creative force behind the visuals for our clients' campaigns, you'll own every design element to ensure maximum impact and performance:

  • Translate design briefs into visually compelling campaign creatives that drive performance across digital platforms.
  • Collaborate with the marketing team to fine-tune designs based on performance data, continuously refining visual strategies for maximum impact.

Pioneering Kaya's Brand Aesthetic

As the visionary of Kaya's visual identity, you'll:

  • Develop and maintain a comprehensive design system that ensures consistency across all Kaya touchpoints, including our website, marketing materials, and product interfaces.
  • Collaborate with the product team to enhance visual design across Kaya's digital platforms, improving user experience through thoughtful graphic elements.
  • Stay at the forefront of design trends and technologies, incorporating innovative techniques to keep Kaya's visual identity fresh and impactful.

You understand that there will be ups and downs, but you're ready to face them head-on with resilience and determination, and you’re excited about the prospect of shaping Kaya's visual future and growing with the company.
  • Educational and Professional Background: Ideally, you have a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, or a related field, complemented by 3+ years of professional experience in design, preferably with a focus on digital marketing and branding in an agency or fast-paced startup environment.
