Remote Job
Senior Brand Designer
Help Scout- $130.000 - $140.000
- fullTime
- Posted : 2 years ago
We make support software that empowers more than 12,000 customer-centric businesses to serve people in the most human, helpful way. We're a remote company with 135+ employees in over 80 cities around the world — and we've been remote-first from day one. We believe that when teams represent different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, magic happens. The result is better products and a culture that enables everyone to bring their authentic selves to work.
Although, _technically_ we’re a SaaS company, we tend to break the mold when it comes to our B2B software-selling peers. We take pride in being a design-led company. Our tolerance for creative risk and investments in our brand are more aligned with those made by media companies and consumer brands. We’ve built an incredibly engaged, fully-remote team that’s motivated by our pursuit of profit and purpose.
We’re looking for a Senior Brand Designer to join our Creative team and ensure that every moment — no matter how big or small — feels, looks, and sounds like Help Scout.
We empower our designers to be shepherds of our brand. The Creative team sits within our larger Brand team and is positioned to influence almost every experience we create for our audience, customers, and employees. As a Senior Brand Designer, you’ll focus on our go-to-market strategy by supporting marketing campaigns and product launches that impact business goals and gives us an edge when competing for talent and customers.
As we scale, we aim to raise our creative bar while keeping our team balanced and well-rounded. Folks who have found their design niche and built a portfolio that leans into a specialty (like web, and visual design) will be strong candidates.

Why Help Scout?
We're remote. It doesn’t matter if you’ve worked remotely before — we’ve been doing it for nearly a decade and are helping to write the playbook — we’re happy to show you the ropes. Most folks that get a taste of working in a "remote first" company have a hard time going back to the old way of doing things.
We’re passionate about diversity and inclusion. The data is abundantly clear about diverse teams being more successful, and we're dedicated to setting the team up for success. Today our leadership team is 62% women, and that's just the start. Here's our DEI Dashboard where you can see all of our team demographic data and read about our commitment to this work.
We're committed to SMBs for the long term. Help Scout is focused entirely on serving small and midsize businesses, typically up to 500 employees, because those companies view customer service differently. It's not a cost to be optimized, it's their most effective marketing tool and a key differentiator from the competition. We built Help Scout for companies that truly value being customer-centric (like us) and want a product that shares their values.
We're leaving the world better than we found it. Did you know Help Scout is a certified B Corporation, with a mission to give away at least 1% of our product through Help Scout for Good? Our company exists not just to help ourselves, but to invest in our team, our customers, our community, and our environment.
