Bolt is on a mission to democratize commerce. We relentlessly prioritize our retailers—putting their brands front and center while enabling frictionless shopping at any touchpoint in the customer journey. At the center of it all is our rapidly growing universal shopper network—Bolt merchants such as Deckers, Saks OFF 5TH, Revolve, and Casper can access tens of millions of shoppers, offering them a best-in-class checkout.

And revolutionizing ecommerce is only half of the equation—we’re also transforming the way we work. At Bolt, we have created a work environment where people learn to drive impact, take risks and make big bets, and grow from feedback, all while feeling welcomed and accepted for who they are. Come join us on the adventure today!

Please note: This is a 9-12 month contract position.

This role is ideal for a mid to senior-level designer with experience in in-house creative teams (though agency experience is also welcome!). You'll have the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects—including events, social media, campaigns, and web design—collaborating across teams to bring our brand to life.

Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop and execute design concepts that align with Bolt's brand identity.
  • Create visual assets for events, digital campaigns, social media content, and website enhancements.
  • Ensure consistency and innovation in design work aligned with brand guidelines.
  • Manage multiple design projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines.

  • A strong portfolio showcasing a variety of projects across different mediums.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and other relevant design tools.
  • Excellent understanding of design principles, typography, color theory, and layout techniques.
  • Experience designing for print media, including event signage, brochures, and OOH campaigns, ensuring high-quality production and brand consistency across physical assets.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with different teams.

What would set you apart

  • Experience working in both in-house and agency environments.
  • Familiarity with web design principles and user experience considerations.
  • Ability to think strategically about brand development and positioning.

This is a maternity cover position, starting in November, and will run for approximately 9-12 months.

Adjusting your schedule to align with US time zones will be key to ensuring smooth communication and teamwork across projects.
