Designer With A Heart: You’re a seasoned designer with a proven track record of not just creating standout digital and print assets, but leading the creative vision behind them. Whether it’s email marketing, display ads, animations, social media posts, or marketing materials, you know how to turn ideas into visuals that grab attention and deliver results. You’re also skilled in crafting intuitive UI designs for both desktop and mobile. Your designs don’t just look great—they improve user experiences and drive sales!

If this sounds like you, you might be the perfect fit for our new Senior Graphic Designer role.

This job will give you ALL the feels:

At AlgaeCal, we’re driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have low bone density. 

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world’s only clinically-backed natural solution to this problem. We give hope to everyone worried about bone loss. If that excites you, you’ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.

This job might be for you if you’ve got…

• A portfolio that wows us. We're looking for proven results—specifically, how your past design work (and the work you’ve guided or reviewed) led to increased conversion rates and opt-ins. In other words, we want to see how your design leadership directly impacted sales. You should have at least 5 years of experience, including experience mentoring or reviewing the work of other designers. Your application will not be accepted without a portfolio.
• Proven skills in creating high-quality concepts and design solutions using industry-standard tools (Adobe Creative Suite) that effectively communicate brand messaging and drive sales. Your portfolio will demonstrate a deep understanding of engaging graphic design, typography, branding, UI, and visual design culture.
• Degree or Diploma in Graphic Design, UI/UX Design, or a design-related field.
• Marketing-savvy: You know how to research, understand, and apply current marketing trends, techniques, and ideas to create content that drives sales.
• Data-driven: You understand metrics and know how to use those insights to create and refine content that delivers measurable results.
• An Encyclopedic Knowledge of  Design and Development Tools: Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Figma. Bonus points for skills in Premiere Pro and advanced After Effects techniques.
• Hands-on experience with AI design tools and generative workflows. You know how to put them to work to improve efficiency and output quality. Experience with tools like Adobe Firefly, Claude, Midjourney, Canva Magic Studio, Figma AI, is a big plus.
• Mentorship chops: Proven track record mentoring designers, giving and receiving creative feedback at a high level, and helping plan resourcing and timelines alongside project managers. 
• Experience working in a digital marketing environment. If you think a ‘funnel’ is a cake, this might not be the role for you.
• E-commerce expertise: Have your designs driven serious sales on platforms like Amazon? If so, we’re already impressed.

Now, time to be honest: is this really you? If you’re nodding your head and feeling that flutter of excitement, then we can’t wait to meet you.

• You’re humble, you put the team and others’ needs ahead of your own
• You’re hungry to learn more and grow in your career
• You’re people smart, in the sense that you’re a great teammate

The truth is, if you don’t have these qualities you won’t last long at AlgaeCal. So if you’re missing one of them, be honest. Save yourself a lot of headaches and skip to a job posting that is a better fit for you.
