Brand Designer

About the role

Ahrefs, a bootstrapped SEO tool for marketers, is looking for a Brand Designer in Singapore who will own how its brand looks off the screen. You will take a stand from first sketch to print-ready files, design the brochures and books handed out at events, and make sure everything that leaves the printer is right. You will work with the marketing and events teams and deal directly with printers and production contractors.

Key responsibilities

• Develop the concept and visual layout of conference and exhibition stands, from idea to a design a contractor can build.
• Design banners, backdrops, wall panels, signage, registration desks and other event materials.
• Design and lay out brochures, booklets, catalogs, books, magazines and other multi-page pieces.
• Develop visual concepts and adapt the brand identity across formats, from a 6-metre wall to a business card.
• Prepare print-ready files and work directly with printing companies and contractors until the output is right.
• Work independently, keeping several projects moving at once.

Required profile

• Fluent in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, and comfortable in Figma.
• Knowledge of print production: prepress, bleed and colour, paper and materials, and what a printer needs.
• Experience designing for events, exhibitions and multi-page publications, shown in a portfolio.
• Attention to detail, ownership of the final result, and ability to work independently.
• Use of AI tools in daily work; Blender or other 3D visualisation software is a plus but not required.

Hiring process

• Portfolio review, focusing on stand design, event branding and multi-page publications.
• A short paid test assignment: one leaflet or one visual concept for a conference stand.
• Interviews with the team.
