Job Description
Diggs is looking for a well-rounded visual designer to help us grow our brand and capabilities. Our goal is to become the most trusted and loved premium pet supplies brand in the world. You will help support this goal through conceptualizing and designing integrated marketing campaigns and thoughtfully considering the design of every customer touch point.

Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a thoughtful designer with big ideas and the ability to execute those ideas at a high level, demonstrating a sense of craft, conceptual thinking and strong design fundamentals. You should be self-motivated, organized and thoughtful, with an understanding of the relationship between pets and their parents. It’s a plus if you have a dog. You should be a willing collaborator, able to take constructive feedback. You should also be able to develop your own ideas independently and explain them to non-design audiences.
Why You Should Apply

We are a startup, so we are growing quickly and this means there are opportunities for you to not only grow but also to contribute in many different ways.
