You know the moment. It’s the first notes of that song you love, the intro to your favorite movie, or simply the sound of someone you love saying “hello.” It’s in these moments that sound matters most.
At Bose, we believe sound is the most powerful force on earth. We’ve dedicated ourselves to improving it for nearly 60 years. And we’re passionate down to our bones about making whatever you’re listening to a little more magical.
The Marketing team at Bose consists of passionate, bold, and music-loving storytellers. We tap into the magic of what makes Bose, BOSE, and through our marketing efforts, connect that magic with people who relate to our belief that sound is the most powerful force on earth.
Job Description
At Bose, we believe sound is the most powerful force on earth - it lets people get more out of any moment, any situation, and more out of life. That’s why we create amazing audio products and are obsessed with getting every detail just right to ‘wow’ our customers. It’s why we’re always looking for people who love to explore, dare to fail, and continuously improve; those who sweat the details and are contagiously curious in their pursuit of the best ideas.
Our Creative Department is a part of the global marketing team. We’re a group of creative pioneers on a mission to unleash the potential of the brand. And we’re looking for a passionate Visual Designer to join us.
As a Visual Designer at Bose you’ll lean on well-honed design instincts to craft meaningful, valuable experiences on Bose owned and third party platforms, clearly communicate your design vision and rationale, and keep the customer at the center of your thinking. You know what it’s like to work for organizations going through digital transformation and know how to design for large brands and platforms, CMS’s, and design systems.
You’ll work hand in hand with UX, and as part of a close-knit team of Creative Leads, Designers, Copywriters, Producers, Marketing Partners, and others inside and outside of Bose to ideate and deliver creative that gets results – from product pages, editorial content, emails, social media, in app messaging, landing pages and more.
What Describes You
You love design.
You understand the power of design. You know it is more than moving pixels, it’s about moving people. Emotionally and behaviorally. We're looking for a thoughtful designer whose love of the craft goes beyond self-expression.
You are left-brain and right-brain.
You know what it is to work within a Brand design language and have the confidence to push the boundaries with a well-developed understanding of design fundamentals such as typography, interaction design and usability, layout, white space, aspect ratios, typography, and color theory. Tying all of these elements together with enormous attention to detail.
You have comprehensive experience with everything from responsive web design for large-scale platforms to mobile apps. You understand the advantages and constraints of modern CMS’s. And know all about design systems, atomic design principles, breakpoints, grids, templates, components - and you know how to bend them to your will.
You’ve got ideas.
Lots of them. You are always looking to find inspiration, insights, cultural or human truths, to shape those ideas. And you’re able to consider your ideas strategically and tactically translating creative concepts into effective designs and brand values into compelling visual designs.
People fascinate you.
You love people in all their diversity. You’re easy to work with, as you have strong social and communication skills that ensure you understand, relate to and connect with our customers- and your team.
You’re ever curious.
You have a contagious curiosity for all-things digital, from apps and platforms to emerging tech. You challenge yourself both personally and professionally. You ask great questions, listen deeply, and go wherever the answers might lead you.
You want to grow.
You are always learning and progressing. You welcome informed debate and will passionately defend your decisions. You’re skeptical of “the way we do things.” You’re eager to learn things you don’t already know. And you’re open to failing. When you get it wrong, you learn from it and come out stronger.
You’re you. You’re confident that there’s something unique only you could bring to our team. (Tell us what it is in your cover letter!)
