Senior Graphic Designer

TLDR: We are seeking an experienced graphic designer for an eCommerce company (full-time, fully remote, Europe timezone)

As a Graphic Designer at Manta Sleep, you will be key in delivering visually compelling designs across various media. You will collaborate closely with marketing and product teams to create effective branding materials, packaging designs, digital assets, and more.

This remote role requires you to work in European time zones. The benefits are outlined below in detail.

NOBODY LIKES JOB HUNTING, BUT THERE IS A REASON WHY YOU ARE HERE...

Maybe you're sick of office politics and layers of bureaucracy and crave the support of a team who's got your back - without hidden agendas.

Maybe you are overworked and underappreciated and want to be somewhere that prioritizes both your rest & output, and rewards you based on results rather than hours.

Or, maybe you're just feeling stuck with your career and are looking for the right environment to excel and get to the next level.

Whatever your reasons, it's exhausting and demoralizing to push back against a culture that doesn't fit you.

We get it. We know how you feel.

That's why we do things differently.

HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT?
