Graphic Designer in UNITED KINGDOM

TLDR: We’re seeking an experienced graphic designer for an eCommerce company (full-time, fully remote, Europe timezone)

As a Graphic Designer at Manta Sleep, you will play a key role in delivering visually compelling designs across various media. You will collaborate closely with marketing and product teams to create effective branding materials, packaging designs, digital assets, and more.

This role is fully remote and requires you to work in European time zones. Benefits are outlined in detail below.

NOBODY LIKES JOB HUNTING, BUT THERE’S A REASON WHY YOU’RE HERE...

Maybe you’re sick of office politics and layers of bureaucracy and crave the support of a team who’s got your back - without hidden agendas.

Maybe you’re overworked and underappreciated and want to be somewhere that prioritizes both your rest & output, and rewards you based on results rather than hours.

Or, maybe you’re just feeling stuck with your career and are looking for the right environment to excel and get to the next level.

Whatever your reasons, it’s exhausting and demoralizing to push back against a culture that doesn’t fit you.

We get it. We know how you feel.

That’s why we do things differently.

HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT?
