JOB TITLE: Designer, Brand & Marketing

THE ROLE:
Splice's Brand Marketing team is looking for a Designer who ships strong creative work fast and owns it end to end, bringing the brand to life across ads, product campaigns, social media, and lifecycle marketing, while partnering with the Design Lead on larger initiatives across Splice's growing ecosystem of music tools.
The ideal candidate thrives in startup-style environments. They're comfortable working without a large design org around them day to day and making smart calls on their own. They iterate rapidly to produce experimental, of-the-moment work that stays true to Splice's visual brand and values while remaining flexible to change. This role reports to the Senior Manager of Art Direction.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Create marketing visuals that are a vibrant expression of the brand while driving growth and retention, including paid ads, landing pages, social graphics, lifecycle campaigns, and event graphics that communicate our constantly evolving ecosystem of products and features.
- Support new and emerging products as they grow, bringing a startup mindset to early-stage work alongside our core brand projects.
- Design brand-led content and storytelling projects, including web experiences, video graphics, and social-first franchises that celebrate the people and stories at the heart of Splice—bringing an experimental, culturally current point of view to every project.
- Understand and correctly apply the Splice identity and brand system across all projects, and help other team members do the same.
- Partner with the Design Lead on larger brand and marketing initiatives across Splice's growing ecosystem of samples and music tools.
- Collaborate with Marketing, Product, and Content teams to produce high-quality, on-brand work quickly and efficiently.
- Own projects end to end, moving quickly from concept to launch, then measuring, learning, and iterating based on results and stakeholder feedback.
JOB REQUIREMENTS:
- 3–5+ years of design experience, ideally including time at a startup or on a small team
- Skilled at adapting design systems across desktop, mobile, and print.
- Fluent in working within an established brand system, with experience extending or building new brand identities.
- Experience collaborating with other designers, photographers, and creatives.
- Sharp eye for detail and a direct communicator who speaks up in reviews.
- Ability to work on multiple fast-moving projects at once.
- Comfortable storyboarding, wireframing, and sketching ideas to effectively communicate your concepts to your collaborators.
- Fluency in music or creator culture, whether that's using these tools, following the space, or making things in it yourself.
- Collaborative and open to feedback, equally comfortable working independently, and able to build strong relationships with partners across departments.
- Enjoys contributing to brainstorming sessions and participating in constructive design critiques.
- Strong working knowledge of Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign).
- Experience using AI tools to streamline repetitive tasks and speed up production, freeing up more time for creative work.
NICE TO HAVES:
- Experience with motion design and editorial illustration.
- Other creative skills worth knowing about: web design, photography, illustration, or similar.
