Graphic & Motion Design Role

At SmartBarrel, we're revolutionizing the construction industry with innovative technology designed specifically for job sites. Born from the need for efficient time tracking in construction, our mission is to bring workers and companies together through collaborative and transparent solutions. We pride ourselves on being approachable, knowledgeable, and passionate about making a tangible difference in day-to-day operations.

We are professional, agile, and focused on delivering high-quality products. Our work environment includes a modern office setting, food provided, work-from-home days, and growth opportunities.

You will be SmartBarrel’s dedicated designer and the primary owner of our visual brand. Our hardware looks great on real job sites. Our software has a slick, modern UI. Your job is to bring both to life for contractors in the field, from eye-catching social posts to polished print pieces.

About 80% of the work is graphic design and 20% is motion. You’ll work closely with our Director of Marketing and our social and events lead. You’ll also support our web, paid ads, and SEO agencies with design assets.
