Location: Phoenix / Scottsdale, AZ (on-site or hybrid)

Reports to: Director of Brand and Marketing

Type: Full-time

Compensation: $50,000–$60,000 per year, negotiable depending on experience

V’s Barbershop is an established men’s grooming brand and national barbershop franchise with 65+ locations, a growing e-commerce business, and a proprietary grooming product line. Our headquarters marketing team is small, fast-moving, and hands‑on.

The Brand Designer & Content Creator owns the design that defines how V’s looks across social media, e-commerce, product packaging, and 65+ locations. This is a design‑first role focused primarily on asset creation with room to contribute to overall brand image. The role also covers basic photo and short‑form video as needed.

• Design brand and marketing assets: social graphics, product/e-commerce pages, packaging, print, and campaign creative.
• Produce visual content for the product line and its launch: hero imagery, teasers, educational content, and advertising creative.
• Create on‑brand marketing assets that support new franchise‑location openings.
• Support email and product‑description‑page (PDP) design and merchandising.
• Maintain a consistent, on‑brand pipeline of content for the marketing calendar.
• Support and serve as back up to the Marketing Coordinator.
• Willingness to contribute basic photo and short‑form video content (Reels, Tik Tok) for social and marketing – social‑native quality, on mobile or camera.

• A strong graphic design portfolio – design is the core of this role and the first thing we evaluate.
• Proficiency in design tools (Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, and/or Canva).
• Strong visual taste, attention to detail, and a modern, social‑first sensibility.
• Self‑directed and prolific, able to produce high volume across multiple formats and channels.
• 2+ years of relevant experience, or an equivalent portfolio of professional‑quality work.
• Comfortable shooting basic photo and short‑form video (mobile is fine; social‑native, not studio production).

• Advanced photography or video production, motion graphics/animation, email design (Klaviyo), or Shopify/e‑commerce experience.
• Interest in or familiarity with the barbershop, men’s grooming, or men’s lifestyle space.
• Ability to discern appropriate use of AI tools (video and image generation models, Claude Design etc.) to enhance output/efficiency. Never at the expense of quality work.

• $50,000–$60,000 per year, depending on experience.
• Fully Paid employee healthcare, 401K, ability to work from home with independent hours and freedoms, liberal vacation policy, product and service discounts.

Submit your professional resume, and a list of references. In addition, submit your portfolio and call out the three pieces you’re most proud of, with a line on the brief for each. A portfolio is required for consideration.
