About the team:

The Brand Design team sits at the intersection of brand, marketing and product. Guardians and innovators, this team have two main remits, one to guideline and create structure for the Luno brand through iteration and creation of design systems. Secondly they work in tandem with performance, product marketing and product, allowing the Luno brand to interact with these areas of the business in a meaningful, thoughtful way.

The role in a nutshell:

Luno has a small and nimble creative team. In order to be successful in this role you will need to be able to execute two main areas; area one is brand design, with traditional brand design expertise in layout, design systems, typography, composition and design thinking, working on anything from print ads, to brand design systems.  Secondly you will need to be a conceptual thinker, and a skilled art director, able to creatively lead conceptual, commercial work such as OTL campaigns, or performance videos creating advertising campaigns and assets.

Your mission will be:
  • Growing and maintaining an ever evolving brand design system
  • Ideating and creating marketing collateral across all major channels
  • Collaborate closely with other cross-functional teams to integrate brand design into overall marketing and business strategies.
  • Partner with stakeholders to understand their needs and objectives and translate them into effective design solutions.
A little about you:

  • Figma Native (we only use Figma here, but you will have access to Adobe suite for other tasks)
  • Excellent typography and fundamental design skills
  • Experienced in creating and working with design systems for brands
  • A truly creative and conceptual design mind
  • Demonstrable art direction skills
  • Experience in designing and concepting for OTL and BTL
