About this role
Quilt is looking for a junior to mid-level visual designer with a sharp eye and a penchant for wearing many hats (figuratively, but literally is fine too). This is a full-time role and an opportunity to help grow and shape our brand across platforms and audiences.
Quilt is turning heat pumps into a coveted category, and our visual identity is one of the defining aspects of our young brand (example & example). You’ll be contributing to content and experiences that align with our marketing and product strategies, and help us stand out in a category that’s overdue for a visual overhaul.
Who you’ll work with: a small and mighty design team that collaborates cross-functionally with the entire Quilt org — from marketing and sales to hardware and everything in between — to drive customer and partner-focused designs that cohesively communicate our brand message and values.
What you’ll do
- Support design projects from concept to completion across platforms and mediums, including social, paid media, digital, print, and video
- Collaborate with marketing, partner success, UX, and product to develop and design multi-channel marketing campaigns, including some fun social content
- Review co-branded marketing materials from partners nationwide and provide actionable feedback to align with Quilt’s brand guidelines and visual standards
- Help maintain and grow our brand guidelines, ensuring consistent implementation across channels
- Contribute to brand strategy as our visual identity continues to evolve across a budding product ecosystem
You qualify if you have
- 2 - 5 years of professional design experience
- A strong portfolio showcasing visual design skills across mediums — quality of work matters more than years of experience
- Exceptional attention to detail: pixel-perfect execution, consistency, and craft are central to this role
- Strong core design skills — typography, layout, color, and composition
- Familiarity with brand guidelines and design systems
- Experience designing across marketing channels such as web, email, and social
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively with a cross-disciplinary team
- Experience working in print — you know the difference between bleed and crop marks, rich black and true black
- Experience with video and photo editing is a plus
You’ll thrive in this role if you
- Sweat the small stuff — you notice when something is 2px off and it bothers you
- Are scrappy, thrive in a fast-paced startup environment, and adapt quickly to changing priorities
- Delight in being fast and flexible in early design stages, and precise and polished at the finish line
- Are radically learning-focused, with a growth mindset and eagerness to improve your craft
- Love to experiment with new techniques, tools, and technologies
- Would like to fight climate change AND make beautiful things
This is a full-time, hybrid position, with three (3) days per week in our Redwood City office.
