Bring Brands to Life: Design for ZURU’s Innovative Baby Category!
About ZURU
ZURU is a reimagination company. We look for categories that have stood still, then we build next-generation products and brands that set the new standard. ZURU Toys is reimagining play. ZURU Edge is reinventing everyday consumer brands. Rhodes Pet Science is reimagining pet science. ZURU Tech is leading the next building revolution.
ZURU started in 2003 with two brothers from New Zealand, and we're still founder-owned and operated today. Since then we've become the world's second-biggest privately held toy company, and nearly half of all Gen Y and Gen Z households with kids in the US own a ZURU product. Today we're 5,000 people in 34 offices, selling into more than 150 markets, backed by over 100 acres of fully automated manufacturing. And we're only getting started.
##
Position Overview
The Intermediate Designer creates design and content for ZURU Edge's Baby Vertical brands across digital, print and in-store touchpoints. The role covers marketing collateral, social and digital assets, and motion content, working to each brand's visual identity and guidelines. Projects run from concept to completion under the guidance of the Baby Design Lead and brand leads.
Position Impact
In the first 3-6 months, the Intermediate Designer will be delivering briefs across the Baby Vertical brands independently - social and digital assets, POS and print collateral - to brand guidelines and technical specification, with minimal rework.
By 12+ months, they will lead larger projects from concept to completion, have lifted the consistency of the visual language across brand touchpoints, and be producing motion and animated content that extends the team's output beyond static design.
Roles & Responsibilities
- Design & Content Creation: Create best-in-class design and content across digital, print, and in-store touchpoints, aligned with each Baby Vertical brand's visual identity, project objectives, and brand guidelines.
- Marketing Collateral: Design influencer boxes, POS, in-store displays, and print materials, ensuring all artwork meets technical specifications and brand guidelines.
- Digital & Social Assets: Develop social tiles, stories, eDMs, website modules, and digital ads, with motion graphics and animated content as a strong asset.
- Project Ownership: Take projects from concept to completion, making confident design decisions under guidance, and flagging scope or brand risk to the Design Lead early.
- Visual Consistency & Asset Management: Help shape and maintain a consistent visual language across all brand touchpoints, keep design files and assets organised, and handle basic colour correction and grading for images and video.
