Brand Designer Four Day Week Remote

About Administrate

Administrate is a training management platform used by hundreds of companies around the world to plan, design, deliver, and measure learning and development for their employees and customers. Our mission is to provide an industry-leading platform that enables enterprises to run their training function more efficiently and effectively so that they can focus more on connecting with people than administrating programs.

Our platform has evolved a lot in recent years, taking us up market, squarely into the enterprise tech space. We’re delighted with the success we’ve experienced so far, and we enjoy working together. Our headquarters are in Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city. We also have offices in Beirut, Lebanon and in Bozeman, Montana.

We’re looking for a new designer to join our team who will own our brand identity. This role will be based in the UK and can be a fully remote position.

It’s our dream at Administrate to be the Ultimate Human Organization. We might build software, but that’s not the only area where we add value to our customers; our people are what make us and our customers successful. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because we believe it makes our company stronger. If you share our values we’d love to hear from you.

Who You Are

You’re passionate about the confluence of design and marketing strategy. You’ve developed visual identity for B2B brands and have a robust portfolio of work that demonstrates your impact.

You thrive on a blend of strategy and production. You have the experience and eye for art direction, but still love designing for the full range of marketing and sales deliverables. You know the value of a good brand style guide and have the relationship management skills to help others adhere to it.

You’re a web-first designer who is equally comfortable in HTML and CSS as in the Adobe Suite, and you’ve led or highly influenced a website redesign or two. You’re holistic in your design philosophy. You maintain a high value of brand experience congruency across channels and know how to facilitate that experience visually.

You’re a life-long learner. You remain a student of your craft. You look forward to giving and receiving feedback as opportunities to grow and strengthen key working relationships. You stay connected to emerging design trends in Marketing and are constantly researching competitors and industry leaders for opportunities to distinguish this brand in the market.

You’re comfortable in a one-person design situation. This role is the sole designer within our small-but-mighty Marketing team. While there are other designers in the company for creative connection, delivering for the Marketing team will be up to you. You’re competitive by nature and like to help the team win.

You love to work with smart, creative people and hate mediocrity. Small teams, dynamic organizations, and flexible working environments are what you thrive in. You’re self-driven and relentlessly optimistic. To you, obstacles are opportunities waiting for a creative solution.

Work hard. Work smart. Work Well.
