Our innovative community-commerce ecosystem connects customers, beauty enthusiasts, and loyalists, allowing each person to align with our brand in ways that authentically reflect their values and aspirations.

Role Overview

Counter is seeking a Graphic Designer to help bring our creative vision to life across every brand touchpoint. This role is responsible for the design execution and visual storytelling of campaigns, content, and experiences — spanning digital, email, social, print, site updates, some packaging, and IRL moments.

This is a highly collaborative, hands-on role for a designer who thrives in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment. You’ll partner closely with the Creative Director and Brand team, working cross-functionally to translate ideas into thoughtful, elevated design that feels distinctly Counter.

Equal parts designer and visual storyteller, the ideal candidate has strong aesthetic judgment, sharp attention to detail, and a clear point of view — grounded in brand systems but confident enough to push them forward.

Key Responsibilities

• Concept, design, and execute visual assets for brand marketing campaigns, including email, web, paid ads, organic social, brand partner/community educational assets. Ensure consistency and excellence across touchpoints in adherence with brand guidelines.
• Under Creative Director, own design execution for all email marketing, including template development, triggered flows, and collaboration on A/B testing and audience segmentation in Klaviyo.
• Maintain organization of Brandfolder, our internal digital asset management tool, ensuring assets are accessible and clearly structured for cross-functional teams.
• Manage website design needs in partnership with E-commerce, including asset uploads, cropping, formatting, and pre-launch coordination.
• Retouch, recolor, and optimize imagery for site, email, and marketing channels.
• Serve as the creative point person for pre-launch website meetings, asset checklists, and timelines in partnership with Integrated Marketing Director, ensuring all design needs are met.
• Maintain and uphold brand guidelines, ensuring all work aligns with Counter’s visual standards and creative direction.
• Proactively anticipate creative needs and propose new visual concepts that further the brand’s storytelling and evolution.
• Participate actively in weekly commercial and marketing meetings, maintaining awareness of content usage across channels.

Skills & Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional graphic design experience, ideally within beauty, lifestyle, fashion, or consumer brands.
• Exceptional portfolio demonstrating strong concepting and execution across static and motion design.
• Advanced proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign).
• Fluency in motion graphics, with experience creating short-form animations for social, email, paid media, and digital touchpoints (After Effects or equivalent).
• Experience designing and deploying emails in Klaviyo.
• Experience with Shopify backend and asset management is a plus.
• Basic video editing is a plus.
• Familiarity with Monday.com, Jira, and Slack for project management and cross-team collaboration.
• Strong communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple projects with tight timelines.
• Experience with packaging design, production, and file management.
• A strong understanding of—and passion for—the Counter aesthetic, values, and visual point of view.
• A self-starter mindset with the ability to work independently while thriving in a collaborative, startup-style environment.
