About Waterboy

Waterboy makes hydration formulas that help you bounce back, keep going, and feel like a functioning human again... and we try not to take ourselves too seriously while doing it.

We’re sold online and in major retailers nationwide (12k+ stores). We’re growing fast and looking for a Senior Designer to help define what Waterboy looks and feels like everywhere it shows up.

We lean into culture, irreverent marketing, and creative that doesn’t look like every other “clean, minimalist, fruit forward” brand on the shelf.

The Role

This is not a “move this logo 2px to the left” role. You’ll help define what Waterboy looks and feels like everywhere - from TikTok to Target shelves to things we haven’t thought of yet.

You’ll work closely with the CEO and team to bring ideas to life quickly. Sometimes that means polished campaign work. Sometimes that means scrappy ideas that go live in 24 hours because it’s funny and it’ll hit.

We want someone who has taste, moves fast, and knows when to follow the rules, and when to absolutely ignore them.

What You’ll Do
Make the Brand Better (Not Just Prettier)

• Own and evolve Waterboy’s visual identity across all touchpoints
• Turn loose ideas into standout creative
• Push the brand forward instead of protecting it in a glass case

Design Stuff That Actually Performs

• Create assets for paid social, email, web, and whatever platform matters next week
• Work with the team to test, iterate, and improve
• Balance “this looks sick” with “this actually converts”

Make Us Pop IRL

• Design in-store displays, retail decks, and sell sheets
• Help Waterboy stand out on shelf (without yelling)
• Bring ideas to life in the real world - events, activations, OOH, etc.

Help Launch New Things

• Work on new product drops
• Support packaging design and systems
• Keep things cohesive without everything looking the same

Make Merch People Steal from Their Friends

• Design merch that people actually want to wear
• Contribute to drops, collabs, and fun brand moments

Who You Are

• 4–7+ years of design experience
• You have taste (you know it, your friends know it, your portfolio proves it)
• You can go from polished campaign to chaotic meme and both feel on-brand
• You move fast and don’t get stuck chasing perfection
• You understand internet culture and what makes people actually stop scrolling
• You can take a half-baked idea and turn it into something great
• You’re excited about building, not just maintaining

Nice to Have

• CPG / beverage / wellness experience
• Motion or animation skills
• Shopify / web design experience

Why This Role

• You’ll have real ownership (your work won’t disappear into a Slack thread)
• You’ll see your designs in the wild - online, in stores, and in people’s hands
• You’ll help shape the creative direction of a fast-growing brand
• Small team, big impact, minimal bureaucracy
