Nathan James is looking for a creative, graphic designer to join our team to support the brand division’s e-commerce and e-interior design initiatives.

We are a design-first, home furnishing company focusing on the habits of urban dwellers and first time home buyers. We pride ourselves on the best in class customer happiness, providing the highest possible quality products that are affordable for the majority and assembly that isn’t dreadful.

 

The E-Interior/Graphic Designer role will report to the manager of the Brand Division.

You will work collaboratively with the creative team to curate beautiful virtual room designs for our products to be displayed in. Photography is required when we launch a new wave of products. These images will be published on our retailer partner websites such as Amazon, Wayfair, Home Depot, Walmart etc... Once the room designs are completed, you will hand off the design spec to our 3D team who use 3D technology to create lifelike imagery.

During the period where photography is not required, our Brand team acts as a service provider for our digital marketing and revenue division’s. You will be working on requests which can range from landing page assets, tear sheets, vendor instruction sheets to company merch. As well as creating graphic assets for our social media channels.

We have a rhythm to our work and a very low turnover rate — we have yet to have a single team member opt-out. Your voice matters to us. We make change from fresh perspectives and appreciate new viewpoints, so you should feel comfortable speaking up about your values and goals.

 

We’re ready for the ongoing work that goes into building an inclusive, supportive place for you to do the best work of your career.

You can expect to work with good people. You can expect to be counted on. You can expect to do your best work and build a career here.

 

We’re looking for someone that has a full range understanding and passion for design. A background in graphic design (web) with minimum four years of experience and at least two years experience e-commerce photography. Expert knowledge of Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator) is required.

Having an interior design ‘eye’ is required for this role as you will be designing virtual rooms.

You will be joining a team of 4 remote designers, which will require outstanding communication and organization abilities, both verbal and written. 

For this role we do require that your normal workday has at least 4 hours overlap with both PST & EST workday without impinging on your personal/family life.

 

Our benefits are all aimed at supporting a life well lived, both at work and away from work.
