Job description

Sincere is looking for a Sr. Manager, Design & Illustration to join our growing team. This is a hands-on creative leadership role for a highly skilled illustrator who is passionate about creating beautiful stationery at scale and shaping the visual identity of our four distinct consumer brands.
In this role, you'll work with the Chief Brand Officer to define and elevate the creative and design standards for our family of brands - Punchbowl, Lovebird, Timehop, and Memento. You will set the artistic vision for our invitation and card collections, contribute your own original designs, and lead creative direction across all brand marketing channels. You'll partner closely with content and marketing leads to bring ideas to life, and you'll leverage tools to drive speed, scale, and creative innovation.
We are looking for a wildly creative leader with exceptional illustration and hand-lettering skills, a strong point of view, impeccable attention to detail, and the ability to both create standout work and guide others to do the same.
In this role, you will:
  • Own and evolve the design direction across stationery & brand marketing for Sincere

  • Establish and uphold standards for creative quality and storytelling
  • Leverage data to inform and refine design decisions
  • Identify and pilot new AI tools to enhance our speed, scale, and originality

You have:
  • BFA, design-related degree, or 5-7 years relevant work experience as an illustrator
  • Fluency in Adobe Procreate, Photoshop, and Illustrator
  • A strong portfolio of illustration work and experience with hand lettering
  • Proven ability to lead creative direction, review & feedback
  • Impeccable attention to detail, with a passion for delivering creative excellence
  • Exceptional communication and organization skills
  • A collaborative mindset with clear, confident opinions
  • Curiosity and interest in new tools, especially AI, to work smarter and move faster

Benefits
Do you want to work at a growing company that invests in its team more than the average employer? Sincere is a family of brands with heart. The Company is home to Punchbowl®, Lovebird®, Timehop®, and Memento®, and builds technology that brings you closer and helps show you care to the people who matter the most. With Sincere Foundation, we support organizations that address basic needs, and envision a future where everyone has the opportunity to celebrate, recognize milestones, and honor memories. We provide a fun, casual, and innovative environment where hard work is recognized and rewarded.
What We Offer:
  • 100% Health, Dental & Vision coverage
  • 401K Plan with Profit Share
  • Annual bonus potential
  • Health & Wellness stipends
  • Paid time off plus 12 paid holidays & Summer Fridays
  • Paid parental leave
  • Childcare benefits (dependent care FSA)
  • Flexible, hybrid work environment
  • In-person, all-expenses-paid Team Summits (2X a year)
