Digital Graphic Designer

Description

Who We Are

Sans is on a mission to build the next great consumer hardware brand, with a laser focus on products that help people live healthier lives at home. We started with a category-leading air purifier before expanding to a best-in-class countertop water purifier that actually works to eliminate harmful contaminants – and our product roadmap is just getting started.

We’re a small, ambitious team that believes deeply in our ability to create a meaningful consumer brand. We move fast, learn quickly, and consistently outperform much larger competitors.

Your Role

Brand is how Sans builds trust, differentiation, and long-term demand. It defines how we look, how we show up visually, and how customers experience us across every touchpoint.

The Digital Graphic Designer will own the visual execution of the Sans brand across digital channels — with a particular focus on email and paid social, plus organic social and other lifecycle touchpoints. This role is responsible for translating brand strategy into polished, on-brand design systems and assets that perform and scale across fast-moving, always-on channels.

This role reports to the Creative Director and partners closely with Brand, Growth, Product, Lifecycle, and eCommerce.

The ideal candidate can clearly articulate the thinking behind their design decisions, understands what makes an email get clicked or an ad stop the scroll, and is energized by using performance data to make their work stronger. They also are a strong visual designer and systems thinker — someone who can build and maintain a design system, not just execute individual assets within it.
