Great designs don’t come by accident. 

We believe that Trendhim’s ability to design the right products and create razor sharp brands comes from a deep understanding and knowledge of our customers.

We’ve failed at this before. And now we’re excited about fixing it. So, we created an important and challenging new position as Strategic Design Lead.

 

As the Strategic Design Lead, you job is to lay foundations that enable Trendhim to design the right products, create the best brands and produce the most inspiring marketing material. Your job is to rigorously and systematically research our customers and the market. And then use your analysis and knowledge to develop insights and concepts that our designers, photographers, and marketers can use in their daily work.

 

You know how to build the machine that drops insights like rain from a dark cloud, and what’s more, you deeply enjoy it. Your impatient curiosity gives you the energy to really own and drive this machine, empowering designers to create better products and marketers to create powerful brands.

 

In short: we need an awesome new teammate who can oversee customer research, and generate clear design and brand concepts that have a huge impact on our business.
