At Co-Star, we are bridging the gap between ancient humanities and modern technology. Since our launch five years ago, we have reached a global audience in 193 countries, with one in four young adults in the United States having downloaded our app. We have been featured in the New York Times multiple times and have become a cultural touchstone without spending a dime on traditional marketing. By combining real-time NASA data with artificial intelligence, we generate millions of hyper-personalized horoscopes daily. Our team of 30 is composed of experts from top tech companies, entertainment, and academia, all working together to refine a language for the things that truly matter.
The role
We are seeking a Senior Brand Designer to join us on a contractor basis. This is a remote position for a highly skilled visual storyteller who can define how our brand appears in the world beyond the app itself. We are looking for someone with an opinionated, fresh design perspective who can help us define what is next in visual culture. While this begins as a freelance engagement, we are open to building a long-term partnership as our team and project scope continue to evolve.
Core responsibilities
- Develop and execute campaign visuals, including advertisements, social media content, and product launches, from the initial concept to the final assets.
- Apply a strong editorial design sensibility to our owned channels, such as our blog, email series, and campaign imagery.
- Build visual systems that feel expressive and distinct rather than corporate, ensuring our brand identity remains culturally fluent.
Skills and experience
You should be a senior individual contributor with roughly 5 to 8 years of experience in graphic design. Your background should demonstrate a portfolio filled with expressive work across print and digital platforms. We value candidates who possess the following:
- A deep mastery of typography and composition as your primary design tools.
- The ability to both direct and execute, meaning you have experience shaping the strategy of campaigns rather than just producing assets.
- A strong connection to current visual culture, spanning fashion, art, music, publishing, and the internet.
- Experience working independently and effectively in a remote environment.
- Bonus points for those with experience in editorial publication, motion design, illustration, or the use of generative AI tools.
Compensation and benefits
We provide a comprehensive benefits package to support our team members, regardless of their location. These include:
- Fully remote work flexibility.
- Unlimited vacation policy.
- 401k retirement planning.
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
- Maternity and paternity leave.
- A dedicated budget to help you set up your home office.
