*about the position*
we are looking for more than a designer. We’re looking for a _brand owner_. We’re looking for someone who can both create beautiful designs, and be responsible for the look and feel of the brand as a whole.
You’ll be great for this role if you love design and are also thoughtful and analytical enough to consider the broader implications of a design.
For instance, we’re looking for someone who, if we ask them for a new hero for our website, would be able to consider our brand guidelines, and all of the other designs we have in the wild, and create a hero that is consistent with all of those.
In other words, we’re looking for someone who is comfortable taking responsibility for the cohesiveness of our brand as a whole, and doesn’t require the rest of the team to point out fundamental inconsistencies.
