About Us

Hovercraft is a dynamic and innovative creative design firm that partners with brands to craft compelling experiences through design, strategy, and technology. We specialize in creating standout visuals, interactive digital content, and impactful branding solutions that push the boundaries of creativity.

The Role

Join Hovercraft to create high-profile, culturally influential work for leading brands. Projects include visual systems, campaigns, story-driven environments, immersive digital installations, and browser-based experiences.

The role requires originating bold concepts while working within brand systems. Collaborate with a cross-disciplinary team and work independently with confidence. Skills in illustration, animation, or spatial design are a plus.

What You’ll Do
  • Take ideas from concept through final handoff alongside creatives, technologists, producers, and leadership.
  • Develop original design directions and refine work within established brand guidelines and visual centers.
  • Combine conceptual thinking with strong craft and attention to detail while being responsible for the completeness of your work.
  • Adapt to different brand styles and visual directions, spotting opportunities for unexpected interactive, environmental, or animation outputs.
  • Find outside inspiration, and bring new thinking and ideas into the studio.
What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of experience in a similar role
  • Proficiency in Figma and/or Adobe Creative Cloud
  • Strong portfolio showing solid fundamentals, attention to detail, inventive design thinking and high-level execution in brand experience work
  • A collaborative team player that is highly motivated, pro-active and positive.
  • Excellent organization and time management skills to meet deadlines across multiple projects in a remote work setting.
  • Illustration, animation or spatial design side hustles

The total average salary range for this position is $90,000-$110,000 annually, plus comprehensive benefits. Job level and actual compensation will be decided based on factors including, but not limited to, individual qualifications assessed during the interview process (such as skills and prior industry experience, potential impact), market demands, and specific work location. The listed range is a guideline, and the range for this role may be modified.

Hovercraft is a remote-first company, working primarily on Pacific and Mountain time. Anyone/anywhere in the United States is encouraged to apply. You must be eligible to work in the US. 

At this time, we are unable to support employment arrangements that require E-Verify participation, including STEM OPT extensions. Additionally, we are not currently offering employment visa sponsorship for this role. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis without current or future employer sponsorship requirements.

We appreciate your interest in our team and encourage candidates whose work authorization aligns with these requirements to apply.
