Graphic Designer/Animator

At Surprise HR, we’re committed to hiring sales designers who are inspired by our team’s guiding principle: to derive a tremendous sense of purpose from the inner quest for excellence itself, being driven from within to make anything we touch be the best it can be.

Our product design team works across most projects at SurpriseHR — from our brand voice and websites to events, web and mobile products, and even printed publications. We are ultimately responsible for the design systems that underpin all our products, as well as the specific screens and workflows that make up our core user experience that's experienced by tens of thousands of our end users.

About you:
Can you develop a logo, while designing an engaging user experience, while brainstorming for a new product design, while animating a complex illustration and still be able to tell a good joke? That's exactly the type of designer we're looking for. Along with having a dynamic portfolio, you must have drive, an eye for detail, and most importantly the ability to adapt. This full-time position will challenge you to find new ways to visually communicate various ideas and themes, all in the effort of promoting the SurpriseHR brand. Your ability to communicate effectively through use of typography, illustrations, and composition is essential; along with your ability to thrive under pressure and meet daily deadlines.

This is an opportunity to design a complete, cohesive design aesthetic for a highly impactful product at a company that agonizes over and takes pride in crafting extraordinary user-focused experiences.

Requirements:
  1. 4-year BA/BFA degree in graphic design preferred
  2. Expert knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop and Premiere Pro
  3. Experience in every stage of the creative process, marketing, graphic design (including motion), and brand development
  4. 3-5 years of beautiful, illustrious design experience

    1. Well-versed in design theory and influential works on the topic (e.g. Art and Visual Perception)
    2. Serious talent for logo design, typography, color, web layout design, print production, image selection and package design
  6. Ability to both illustrate and animate extremely high-quality assets (example works below):

About us:
  1. A team of like-minded people, united by a mission, of which you will be an essential part
  2. Competitive comp and equity
  3. Company-paid medical, dental and vision insurance
  4. And, of course, we get Surprises internally
