, and collaborate with teams throughout the company. We’re not just looking for someone who can make things look nice.

How We Work
Good design at ChopAir is intentional, not decorative. We want you thinking through your choices, not simply defending them. You won’t always be right, and neither will we. What matters is being able to explain your thinking, take feedback, learn from it, and continue improving the work. Communication matters a lot in this role. If something is unclear, ask. If priorities shift, communicate it. We would rather solve a problem early than discover it at the end of a project. We’re also a collaborative team, not a competitive one.

We share ideas, teach each other, and jump in when someone needs help. Titles don’t excuse anyone from that. We believe creativity works best when people enjoy what they do. We take our work seriously, but that doesn't mean every day needs to feel serious. There's room to experiment, laugh, share ideas, and occasionally step away from a project when you need a fresh perspective. We want to create an environment where people enjoy coming to work and feel proud of what they create.

You’re Allowed to Be Junior
We don’t expect you to walk in knowing our industry, every tool, or our internal processes. You’ll receive direction and support while you learn, with more responsibility and ownership as your confidence grows. You’ll have opportunities to explore different areas of marketing and design, discover your strengths, and develop new ones. The goal over time is to move from:
“Tell me what to make.”
To:
“Here’s how I think we should solve this.”
We’re looking for someone who wants to grow into that kind of designer.

What We’d Like to See
Strong foundation in typography, layout, visual hierarchy, and color
Working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign
Strong comfort working in PowerPoint
Interest in video production, filming, and editing
Ability to take feedback and translate it into stronger creative work
Strong attention to detail
Clear communication and willingness to ask questions
Curiosity and a desire to continuously improve
Ability to organize projects and manage priorities across different creative tasks
Nice to Have
WordPress experience
Figma or Adobe XD experience
Photography experience
Familiarity with Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar video editing software
Experience operating cameras, lighting, and audio recording equipment
Basic video and audio editing experience
Familiarity with video export settings, file formats, and publishing workflows
Podcast or media production experience
SEO familiarity
Digital marketing experience
Basic understanding of UX/UI principles
A design-related degree is welcome but not required
.

Your portfolio, fundamentals, creativity, and thought process matter more than the name of your degree
. Recent graduates and early-career designers are encouraged to apply.
