Designer

About The Role

EF Go Ahead Tours is looking for an experienced mid-level Designer to join our talented brand team—together we aim to be the storytellers that bring travel experience to life, the creators that deliver that experience to any device, and the dreamers that push creative beyond what’s imagined.

The ideal candidate will have a passion for brand development through design and story, with a portfolio of work that evokes an emotional response and drives actions.

In this role you will design marketing assets for a wide variety of channels across a broad range of media, including email, web, video, social, and display campaigns—producing impactful, business critical work in partnership with our marketing teams.

You Will

• design for every aspect of the customer journey—from top-funnel marketing campaigns, to lead-nurturing initiatives, and brand story content
• develop visually engaging emails that reflect the brand's design and messaging objectives
• create visually compelling content for organic social and paid media
• work closely with marketing, content, and product teams to understand campaign goals and integrate design elements effectively
• collaborate with copywriters and other creatives to ensure a cohesive brand message
• stay informed about design trends, competitors, and industry best practices to continuously improve the brand's visual presence

You Have

• 5+ years of professional design experience at an agency, design firm or in-house creative team
• spent most of your career in digital, ideally with a focus on e-commerce and digital advertising/marketing and have a portfolio showcasing this experience
• a passion for design and an understanding of its critical core concepts
• an ability to align design decisions with overall brand strategy and business goals
• strong verbal and visual communication skills with the ability to articulate design decisions and present ideas to stakeholders
• solid experience and skill working with Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (experience with After Effects and/or Premier is helpful)
• positive and pro-active problem-solving skills
• a preference for working in teams versus being the solo creative
• a keen eye for detail to ensure consistency in brand visuals and thoroughness in reviewing and refining designs

About EF Education First

Some companies are in the Business of Technology.

Others are in the Business of Finance….Sports…Or Soft Drinks.

At EF, we're in a different kind of Business.

One that's a little less tangible, and a lot more important.

Because our Business, what we make, makes everything else possible.

We're in the Business of Understanding.

Between people. Between cultures.

For over half a century we’ve been the leader in international educational programs and experiences designed to foster such understanding. Through Language, Cultural Exchange, Academic Studies, and Educational Travel, we create the kinds of immersive experiences that challenge biases, open minds, and pave the way for a more understanding world.

You’ll find our 115 offices located in some of the world’s greatest cities, and filled with smart, driven people who push each other to be better every day. And yes, we have technology, we have finance, we even have sports with our own professional cycling team. But it’s what we do with it – Building greater understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating a better world…that makes all the difference.
