Role

Who you are

  • You can clearly and transparently communicate our company story
  • You’ll be working with a close knit founding team and you need to be able to sell your design vision to the rest of the team, explaining thought processes and how your decisions are weighted. You can’t be super protective of your work.
  • You’re comfortable with - not just tolerant of - change and uncertainty
  • We’re a small company that’s constantly trying new things to find what works best so it’s important to be comfortable with lack of structure, can context switch and thrive in uncertain situations
  • You think about how your ideas can scale practically
  • It’s easy to get into a task list approach to implementation but it’s so important to understand how design ideas can be scaled by the entire team, simply and pragmatically.
  • A jack of most trades
  • Unlike a large company, you’ll be able to work on a little bit of everything. A great generalist that is comfortable with working on many things even if you’re not the greatest in one area. You are sublimely resourceful, and if you don’t know the answer, you know how to find out.
  • You work quickly
  • As the only designer at Flux, you’ll be someone who can really punch the gas in the first couple of years. You will be responsible for every level of design and nothing is beneath you. Be open to change, often.
  • You don't lose sight of good
  • Design process is important, but losing sight of the good for perfection is not a privilege available to us. Speed is not a dirty word. It allows us all to take big bets, iterate quickly and build our brand with consistent feedback.
  • Excellent sense of style, have a good understanding of graphics, trends and innovation with attention to detail
  • A portfolio that showcases high quality designs.
  • Adobe Illustrator skills: Layout design, Infographic design. Strong understanding of export settings and file management.
  • Adobe Photoshop skills: Image editing, photo manipulation, colour grading, mock up creation. Keeping files and layers clean and easy to for collaborators to pick up and work on. AI Generative fill techniques.
  • Adobe InDesign Key skills: Layout design, use of master slides and paragraph/character styles
  • Artificial Intelligence tools/Platforms: A good working knowledge of tools like Mid Journey, Adobe Firefly, Stable Diffusion and Chat GTP
  • PowerPoint/ Canva Template design: Comfortable creating new templates or tidying up Presentations from existing designs

  • Partner with the co-founders, product, operations, sales, and marketing to understand business objectives and effectively execute
  • Take ownership of all design projects, from conception to deliver and inform the company’s roadmap by advocating for customer needs.
