About the role

About Longship Marketing

Longship Marketing is a remote-first agency helping B2C e-commerce brands grow through performance marketing and e-commerce operations. We work across a range of consumer-facing categories, building campaigns, creative, and storefront experiences that move products. Our team is fully distributed across Europe and beyond, and we operate async-first: more Slack and Loom than back-to-back calls, more ownership than oversight.

We're a small, hands-on team — every hire has real visibility into the work and direct access to decision-makers, including the CEO. We care about craft, speed, and finding creative directions that aren't boxed into one narrow aesthetic.

The Role

We're hiring a full-time Illustrator / Graphic Designer to own visual creative across three core areas:

Ad creative & banners — static and animated visuals for Meta ads, website banners, and campaign assets
Website & product graphics — imagery and graphics that sell products on-site
Merchandise & print — t-shirt and apparel graphics, gift products, and other print-on-demand work

You'll work directly with the CEO on both recurring creative needs and special projects, so the work stays varied while staying grounded in real commercial output.

The AI angle (important)

We are looking for someone who is genuinely excited about working with AI, not just tolerating it. Concretely: you use AI tools to rapidly develop design concepts and drafts, then use manual graphic design tools such as Adobe and Figma to produce polished and refined designs. The initial drafts are rapidly produced and iterated on with AI, final versions are crafted and stay hand-led. If you see AI as a threat to be avoided rather than a lever to pull, this isn't the right fit.

What You'll Need

A strong commercial portfolio showing illustration and design work for real brands or products
Genuine comfort in at least one of: children's products, sports/motivation, or fantasy/sci-fi themes
Figma as your daily tool, with working knowledge of Illustrator/Photoshop for production tasks
Experience producing for both print and digital, including basic color-profile awareness (RGB vs. CMYK)
An active, hands-on interest in AI-assisted drafts and iteration — not just awareness that the tools exist
Comfort working async, in English, fully remote

Nice to Have

Experience across two or more of our thematic areas
Print-on-demand, apparel, or greeting card production experience
Familiarity with Shopify or WordPress content workflows
Basic motion or mockup presentation skills

What We Offer

Full-time, fully remote — work from anywhere
Flexible hours outside of core meetings
28 holidays/year + national holidays
Premium AI and automation tooling with pro licenses
Real creative latitude — not boxed into one aesthetic
Compensation: $1,000–1,500 USD/month, depending on experience
