Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Lead brand refreshes and evolution for Krak, owning our visual identity, art direction, and design standards end to end.
  • Make sure Krak looks and feels like Krak everywhere. The website, product launches, product marketing, lifecycle (email, CRM), paid acquisition, organic social, app store assets, and events.
  • Bring 3D proficiency to the table, modeling our card product and other key visuals as part of the brand's look.
  • Build motion systems and animations that give Krak's brand a sense of movement and life, from simple systems to more advanced work.
  • Use AI tools for rapid concepting and production, and partner with video or advanced animation creators when a project calls for more depth.
  • Develop and grow Krak's illustration style, producing original work for product and marketing while building a reusable library so teams aren't starting from scratch.
  • Build scalable design systems. Figma component libraries, marketing templates, and localization-ready layouts that let any team produce on-brand work quickly.
  • Create variable and auto-generated asset systems, plus modular campaign kits, so we can launch more often, in more markets, without more manual effort.
  • Design creative automation workflows, programmatic copy and image swaps, multi-format exports, and localization at scale, whilst keeping quality high as volume increases.
  • Stay hands-on with AI-assisted production pipelines, treating them as a core part of how Krak's brand gets made, not an experiment on the side.

  • Demonstrable ability to work across a variety of teams on a multitude of projects in a high performance environment
  • An exciting, creative portfolio showcasing detail-oriented design work, strategic thinking and provocative creativity
