Role:

At Airhouse,  they help high-growth ecommerce companies simplify one of the most complex functions in their business: operations. Airhouse automates dozens of workflows and integrations to help companies get their products from factory to front door. From inventory and order management to warehouse partner sourcing and vetting, order fulfillment, returns and beyond, Airhouse makes it so that teams don't need to build a massive in-house operations team or any custom tech to manage fulfillment. Airhouse was founded in 2018, launched publicly in 2020, and currently serves 100+ high-growth businesses that manufacture everything from apparel to furniture to food and beverages.
Airhouse’s core industry, logistics, is not historically design-forward. But, their customers are often themselves very creative brand-builders. At Airhouse, brand is a strategic imperative: they aim to make a memorable splash in the industry and in the minds of their customers. In this role as Brand Designer, you will grow Airhouse’s core style in new and experimental directions and own Airhouse’s overall look and feel.
The right candidate for this role will be a creative but grounded designer who is skilled at balancing the competing demands of projects where design is involved, e.g. designing for conversion and designing within technical constraints. This is a full-time remote role that reports directly to their Co-Founder. Eligible candidates must be based in the United States. You will join as a senior individual contributor, with budget to extend your impact via outsourced agencies and consultants.
