About the job

The Senior Designer, US reports directly to the Creative Director, US and plays a leading role in shaping how Blue Bottle comes to life across the US market.

This is a multidisciplinary design role for someone who thinks in ideas and systems rather than a single medium. You will move fluidly between brand, campaigns, digital, print, packaging, merchandise, and physical cafe experiences, translating a creative idea across channels while maintaining a cohesive and distinctly Blue Bottle point of view.

You are both a conceptual thinker and a hands-on designer. You can establish the visual idea for a campaign, then understand how that idea should flex from a digital experience to a printed piece, a package, a product, or a cafe environment. You are equally comfortable starting with a blank page, refining an existing system, and getting into the details required to bring the work beautifully to life.

Working closely with the Creative Director, you will work on design for US product launches, campaigns, café marketing, activations, and brand initiatives. You will also help guide freelance designers as needed, providing thoughtful design direction and raising the quality and consistency of the work.

Strong communication and presentation skills are essential. You will articulate creative ideas and design rationale to Marketing and cross-functional partners, collaborate throughout the development process, and help turn business and brand opportunities into compelling creative solutions.

Employees are required to be based within 50 miles of one of the following established Blue Bottle Coffee geographic locations: The San Francisco Bay Area or Los Angeles
