Hourly Wage for THE LOOMA PROJECT Lead Designer Salary in the United States

Looma Background
Looma exists to connect shoppers to the people and stories behind their products. Our first product, Loop™ At-Shelf Maker Stories, is a network of tablets in grocery stores that play short, human-centric films connecting producer to consumer. The data generated by Loop™ fuels our proprietary storytelling process, forming a flywheel we believe will one day power the world’s most sophisticated platform for human-centric point-of-decision video.

Position Summary

As Looma’s first internal design hire, the Lead Designer will build and champion Looma’s design philosophy across media and departments. This role will report to Looma’s Executive Storyteller (acting Marketing Director) and require versatility across media formats, with strong instincts in art direction. Key projects range from sales and marketing materials to a client-facing dashboard UI, from Loop™ content, to in-store decor mockups.

In short, we expect the Lead Designer to wear a few hats, and, specifically, we’re looking for candidates with that rare combination of technical brilliance and instinct. There’s a big difference between making something look pretty and communicating business value with clarity and poignance, and we’re looking for someone who can do both.

  • In-store decor design (e.g. signage, vinyl wrap, shelf ribbons)
• Develop templates and a library of visual assets for use by staff generalists
  
• Ability to identify, collaborate with, and manage additional contract design and UI/UX specialists as needed
• Manage multiple concurrent projects, establishing and communicating priorities to the rest of the team with consistency and poise
