Senior Graphic Designer (Pet Brands) - Remote

We are looking for a Graphic Designer with a passion for pets to join our fast-growing team!

The ideal candidate is an independent player who is able to craft human-centric digital experiences.

We're looking for a designer who gets it — someone who understands that less is more, who can think strategically about social media, and who can create custom illustrations that bring brands to life. We are not looking for designers who produce designs off Canva.

📝 Before you apply, please understand our selection process:

All candidates will start off with a paid work trial. During this period, it will be a 2-way assessment.

• Do you like working with us?
• Do you enjoy the work?
• Do you see yourself in the company in the next couple of years?

Similarly, we will also assess if you are a fit for our team & and culture. At the end of the period, we will either offer you a full-time role or thank you for your time and consideration.
