Graphic Designer

At Rothy’s, we know there’s a better way to do business, and it starts by putting the planet and its people first. More than 125 million single-use plastic bottles and 400,000 pounds of ocean-bound marine plastic have been transformed into our signature thread, creating wardrobe staples that look just as good as they feel. 

Striving for zero waste, we combine 3D knitting technology and handcrafted assembly to create machine washable styles that don’t compromise on comfort. From classic shoes to carry-everywhere bags, we create essentials for wherever you go.

Working to close Rothy’s loop by 2023, building a sustainable future is at the heart of everything we do. We pride ourselves on fostering an inclusive environment at our HQ, retail stores and wholly-owned factory, and are growing our community every day.

About the Team:  

The Marketing team spans many aspects of the business and includes roles in graphic design, social media, and public relations, to name a few. Since the roles with this department are varied, so are the people—in the best way. This team is laser focused on bringing the brand to life through rich storytelling, and they work together to accomplish this across multiple media channels and platforms.

As a Graphic Designer reporting to the Senior Art Director, you will be a dedicated Designer for projects supporting the Creative and Growth teams. About 70% of your time will focus on designing and creatively spearheading one of our fastest-growing channels: paid social ads. The other 30% of your time will focus on supporting design needs for all marketing channels. You love data and incorporating it into your work as much as you love design systems and knowing when to break them. As marketing landscapes are always evolving, you are a forward thinker who gets excited about new challenges, from 3-D try-on filters to concepting video ideas for TikTok. You can concept and execute well-crafted designs in both static and video environments. Strong motion graphics skills - or a willingness to learn quickly - are a must. 

What you’ll do:

• Work collaboratively as a member of the Creative team, focused on functional, delightful and beautiful user experiences across all brand touchpoints

You are:

• Curious, energetic and enthusiastic
• Autonomous and self-motivated
• Willing to work on anything, no ego
• Highly flexible and adaptable to challenges
• Able to balance the micro and the macro
• Relentlessly driven, always learning–able to soak up knowledge and gain new skills

• Communicative and open-minded

You have:

• 3+ years of experience in graphic design, e-commerce or advertising industries
