Senior Brand Designer

Fans love Midnite because of all the epic ways to win. Unlike the alternatives out there, Midnite doesn’t feel like a website built 20 years ago. Our customers use our world-class sports, esports, and game wagering platform to interact with the games they care about. We are looking for a Senior Brand Designer to join Midnite's marketing team and own the creative output that drives customer growth.

You should have experience with marketing and partnership teams, can perform at a high level, and have mastered working on multiple projects at once. You’re a versatile maker, drawing on design, animation, video editing, social media, content creation and more to unlock the full storytelling potential of every project. Ultimately, you should be able to deliver pixel-perfect designs that are on-brand and help attract new customers or engage existing players.

Responsibilities:

• Maintain the Midnite brand across marketing and community channels. Push the Midnite brand forward with the successful conception and execution of new, primarily digital campaigns that engage audiences and support brand awareness, acquisition and retention.
• Lead design projects from end to end to develop bold, compelling and breakthrough creative — from early-stage brainstorming and concept development through to go-live execution.
• Recognize the possibilities beyond the scope of the assignment. Bring a passion and strength for explaining the strategic thought behind creative decisions to partners across departments, some of whom are unfamiliar with creative strategy and design.
• Suggest tactics, plans, production partners and tools.
• Continue to expand and strengthen the Midnite marketing visual toolkit, while staying true to the brand and its core values.
• Collaborate with content and social media teams
• Partner with Midnite product designers to create visual consistency between product marketing, brand marketing and editorial content.
• Potentially lead a small team: Be an expert at identifying design talent, helping recruit and set a compelling vision that energizes and focuses the team.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience and a design portfolio that shows conceptual thinking and high proficiency in the formal elements of design. This includes typography, layout, balance, hierarchy, proportion, color, emphasis and unity applied across a range of touchpoints, including social, motion graphics, digital and print. Experience with digital and interactive design and a finger on the pulse of what’s new in digital design for the gaming audience.
• You are an esports, sports, and/or gaming fanatic. You understand the online cultures within the gaming and sports communities.
• Initiative, a good sense of prioritization and collaborative in your approach.
• Experience maintaining brand across channels and campaigns
• Fluency with design, video, and animation software (full Adobe Suite including After Effects, Sketch and Figma), Google Slides, and ability to intelligently organize files for design iteration and web production. Experience in product design and UX.

Benefits

• A ground-floor role in which you’ll be integral to our company culture and help shape the direction. You’ll be part of a growing community of Midnite employees, partners, investors, and advisors, all focused on our common goal. We love to do things together with regular company-wide meetups, games night, and team retreats.
• Grab a piece of the pie. We offer competitive equity packages, from performance-based stock grants to Employee Stock Purchase Plans that allow teammates across the globe to feel like they own the place.
• Comprehensive Health insurance via Vitality so you can stay healthy.
• 25+ paid holidays and use-what-you-need sick days.
• Paid maternity, paternity, and adoption leave.
• Flexible long-term work options (remote and hybrid).
• Generous stipends for headphones and your remote work setup.
• Our team combines years of experience building world-class betting technology with deep esports and sports domain expertise. We are as intentional about building a durable company and inclusive culture as we are about perfecting our product, and are serious about flexible work and professional development.
